CI#83 COLOUR CHALLENGE

A few weeks ago, I made a card for the Colour INKspiration CI#81 using these colours.

I was so pleased to be named the winner and asked to be a guest designer.

This is the colour scheme for CI#83.

At first, I found this colour palette challenging but decided to use the leaves in the image as my inspiration.

So, the LOVE OF LEAVES BUNDLE was called into action.

I love the dies in this bundle and the stitched features they give.

I enjoy layering elements on a card … and, a bit of bling. Thank goodness for WINK OF STELLA and ENAMEL DOTS.

The sentiment ‘I’M SO GLAD YOU’RE IN MY LIFE’ is ideal for so many situations.

Let me know what you think of this card.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

These are the products I used to make this card. If you live in Australia, you can order any of them through me.

COLOUR CHALLENGE

A little while ago, I shared a card that I made for a colour challenge.

I find it’s a great way to work with different colour combinations – especially if they are not your ‘go to’ colours.

This was the Inkspiration for CI#80. Not my usual palette, but so pretty!

So this is my ‘entry’.

I thought the TODAY’S TILES STAMP SET was an interesting way to showcase the colours without choosing a floral stamp and colouring.

And the TASTEFUL TEXTILE 3D EMBOSSING FOLDER is becoming one of my favourites!

I stamped several times using different colour combinations, then cut strips before popping each strip up onto dimensionals. The three Purple Posy tiles were achieved by using my Stampin’ Write Marker™.

I’m looking forward to inking up some of my ink spots in different colours to make some more cards.

Let me know what you think?

TIME TO DO SOME CHALLENGES!

I have joined in a few challenges over the last year or so. They are fun and encourage me to go beyond my comfort zone.

Earlier this month I saw the latest Colour INKspiration Challenge on Facebook and decided to challenge myself again.

This is such an interesting colour combination – and not one that I would have put together; hence the ‘out of comfort zone’ challenge.

I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to use the IN GOOD TASTE SUITE, that I ordered during pre-order.

Now if you don’t know what a pre-order is, it is one of the amazing benefits of being a Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrator is that you get to see new catalogues a month before they go live to customers and you can order from a selection of the new products before the catalogue goes live.

The ribbon is from the FOREVER GREENERY SUITE and it ruches beautifully.

The feathers are fussy cut and have some Wink of Stella added for a little ‘bling’.

The IN GOOD TASTE DSP is so gorgeous … so many amazing textures.

The floral elements were made using the MANY LAYERED BLOSSOMS DIE and layered.

What do you think of the colour scheme?

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.
