WELCOME TO THE FIRST Colour INKspiration CHALLENGE OF 2024

2024 kicks off with Colour INKspiration’s #158 Challenge.

This challenge will run for 5 weeks, so you will have loads of time to create your own project and share it with us – https://www.facebook.com/groups/349642308720075

This week I am featuring the Adoring Hearts Bundle, Thoughtful Moments Hybrid Embossing Folder and Brayer. So I have used these products and the challenge colours to create this card.

I started by using the new Stampin’ Brayer to create the background panel, using three of the challenge colours. This is going to be one of my favourite techniques I think.

The next step was to adhere this to a Thick Basic White card base.

I used 6″ x 6″ pieces of card stock and embossed and die cut the hearts. These were then positioned on the front of the card and secured with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The next step was to transfer Blueberry Bushl ink to the logo side of the embossing folder using the brayer. I carefully placed the coordinating die on the same side of the folder and positioned a 6″ x 6″ piece of Basic White card stock over the die.

After running the embossing folder throught the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, I had all of the greetings stamped and cut.

I used Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach the ‘Love You’ greeting on the front of the card.

With 40 embossed and die cut hearts leftover, I chose one for the inside of the card and one for the envelope.

To finish the card I added some Blueberry Bushel gems, from the Tinsel Gems Four-Pack, to the card front.

Tomorrow is 3D Thursday and I have a cute little gift box to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

This collection is all about using the new Stampin’ Brayer and layering elements in all of your projects.

My first project share is this card.

I chose to use a Flirty Flamingo card base and this checked paper design from the FREE DPS pack.

Using a 6″ x 6″ piece of Real Red card stock and placed it inside the Adoring Hearts Hybrid Embossing Folder and coordinating multiple hearts die.

After adhering the DSP to the card base, I positioned the six hearts on the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I die cut the curved banner before stamping the greeting in Flirty Flamingo.

The card insert and envelope each had a spare embossed and die cut heart attached.

Finally, I coloured some small white Classic Matte Dots with a dark Real Red Stampin’ Blend.

Tomorrow I have a stunning gold card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.
