So 2022 is here and happening. This is our first Colour INKspiration for the new year for you to enjoy.

When I first saw the fresh seaside inspired colour combination I immediately knew the fabulous 2022 January – June Mini Catalogue products I would use. The image is a view of Mooloolaba Beach. I love living in the Sunshine State!

I definitley wanted to create a beach scene using the featured colours. To do this, I used the NEW Oceanfront Stamp Set and the Paradise Palms Bundle.

I love the #simplestamping way to use the Oceanfront Stamp Set. Starting with a layer of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the Coastal Cabana water image and then stamped the Balmy Blue sky image. Then I stamped the Sahara Sand beach image.

The seagrasses were stamped using Granny Apple Green and Sahara Sand.

I took a 5-5/8″x 4-1/8″ Pacific Point cardstock and cut out a large window, using the Stitched Rectangles dies. This frame was then embossed using the splatter folder from the Strips & Splatters 3D Embossing Folders. The frame was embossed twice because it was wider than the embossing folder.

The Foam Adhesive Strips were perfect for lifting the embossed Pacific Point frame above the stamped beach scene.

The image that has INKspired this #114 challenge features the gorgeous pandanus tree. Without a pandanus palm image I opted for the new Paradise Palm Bundle.

I stamped the palm tree trunk in Sahara Sand and cut it using the coordinating die from the Palms Dies. Then I stamped the palm fronds image three times and cut it using the coordinating die from the same set.

The tree trunk was adhered directly on to the embossed card frame. The three die cut tree fronds were adhered to the top of the trunk using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

To finish the card, I stamped the sentiment onto a small piece of Basic White cardstock before cutting it using one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies. After the first cut, I repositioned the die to achieve this smaller stitched rectangle piece.

I also used some of the new Embellishments from the 2022 January – June Mini Catalogue. Although these embellishments are not a ‘perfect’ colout match, they still work well on this project. I used the absolutley stunning Pebbles Enamel Shapes and the Faux Sea Glass Shapes as a feature on this card.

I think they coordinate perfectly.

Living in Australia means that we are still enjoying all the wonderful features of Summer. If you are close to the coast, you may be enjoyingan amzing vista like this one.
