CTC#43 Artitistic Expression colourful card

It's the CTC blogshop for the Artistic Expression section of the catalogue. There's such a lot of gorgeous cards to see in this section.
Hello ago and welcome from Kathryn's beautiful post.

I am a little bit excited with how this week's card turned out.






After my card class on the weekend where we played with the Babywipe Technique, I used the flower image from Crazy About You and stamped repetitively to cover a panel. I love how it looks and I will be using this technique again especially when I don't have any DSP in the colour I need. I think it looks a bit like fireworks.

 I used the card on the top left of page 117 of the catalogue for this inspiration. I loved the colour and the card layout.






The black scroll from Everything Eleanor was heat embossed onto the panel and the flower was heat embossed onto some typeset DSP before being cut out - love the goose treated this way in the catalogue sample card. For the sentiment I used the fabulous Alphabet Rotary Stamp and heat embossed with white powder on black cardstock. I was really happy with how this turned out, especially because the DSP layer is not "square" on the card and it is not usual for me to work on odd angles- definitely a challenge for me!!


 This is the card from class and you can see more of the details for this one here

Thanks for stopping by my blog. You will find lots of great inspiration as you trip around the group. Next up is the very talented Alison Barclay



thanks for looking,  enjoy your tour around the bloghop

    Such a lovely detailed card Elizabeth. I agree the flowers do look like fireworks! I must get out the baby wipes & try this technique, it looks like fun!

    Love the pops of colour with the black and white theme and the a few rhinestones for a bit off added bling. This card is fab and sure to brighten anyone's day.

    This is so cool - your background reminds me of fireworks or starbursts. Really great card to showcase this technique. :)

New In colour 2025-2027 cards and the FABULOUS Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape.

Don't you love it when a single product creates enough elements to decorate a bunch of cards at one time? The Extraordinary Flora Washi tape is one of those products. I created these for my upcoming Catalogue Launch. I put the Washi onto Basic Beige to cut these flowers and love how it coordinates with the Basic Beige card base. To create these cards I trimmed 2.5cm from the front edge and adhered a 3.5cm strip of DSP to the inside of the card to give an added layer. These were easy to put together. Darling Duckling Secret Sea Strawberry Slush Timid Tiger Cloud Clover June 3 - 30 Stampin Up has an amazing offer where you can get 50% off any second product from a suite. So for example if you were to purchase the Extraordinary Flora Die you would be able to buy the tape at 50% off. Please reach out if you want more information on this great deal. You can see all the available suites in my online store. I am loving all the new colours.  I hope you have a creative week and remember,...

Colour INKspiration#178 Happy Hibiscus

Happy Hibiscus is a new set in my collection and I needed to get it out and play with it, so this colour combination seemed like a good place to start.  Isn't the Inspiration picture amazing? I wish I was a better gardener and could grow these gorgeous treasures. But since that is not my skill I am happy to admire nature. Picture credit - https://leahhopephotography.client-gallery.com/.../print... I used the watercolour 100 paper and created two pieces of colour, one a range of dark and light Calypso Coral, and one a mix of Soft Sea Foam and Old Olive.  Once dry I was able to cut out the leaves and tiny flowers. I stamped the 3 large flowers over the watercolour and cut them out using the Hybrid Embossing Folder - It's so easy and super effective as it embosses and cuts in one pass creating some amazing depth for the blossoms. I love the leaf shapes and definition in these dies, just gorgeous. Lots of white seemed like a good way to let the colours shine, so a simple embosse...
