CI#19 Sunny Yellow

HELLO 
and welcome back for another round of Colour INKspiration, where this week we have a bright sunny yellow palette. I had lots of ideas on what to create with this set but had trouble getting most of them to come together.  
In the end I created a floral card with some triangle elements and several layers.
I love the Falling Flowers suite for heat embossing and colouring.


All the floral elements are heat embossed with white on white then coloured using the markers or a blender pen and markers. I have cut the centre from one of the flowers and raised it up. The accent around the triangle flap is actually silver foil and then Smoky Slate DSP which doesn't show up very well in this photo.
I love the dark tone of the DSP (from the retired Urban Underground DSP) which sits on a separate hinged flap under the first layer.  Hopefully the photos will give you a clearer idea.



The front - still doesn't show the silver between the white and the Smoky Slate.

When you lift the white flap this is the first layer.
The angled piece of Smoky Slate marble DSP is just a cover to hide the mess under the flap and also to provide the Slate edge visible from the front. I used a second larger piece of this paper as the inside of the card where you write your message, the top 2cm of this is the hinge flap which holds the Basic Gray piece in place.
That strip of daffodil DSP and thin gray washi hide the hinge.
I really like the blossom cut in half and adhered to the edges- it sort of keeps the floral theme flowing through without taking over the page.
I'm loving the Hello Friend set at the moment and have recently done some Christmas cards with it.
There wasn't really a pattern to this Fancy Fold, I just built it as I went!


When you lift the "Hello" page this is the final inside

Perhaps the side view will give you a better appreciation of the construction.


Thanks so much for looking, I hope you have a sunny day wherever you are.
Do show us what you can create using the same colours. You have 2 weeks to get a card or other project made and then post a photo to our Facebook page- it's that easy. We love to see how the colour inspire you.

Next on the hop this week is Cathy Pinchbeck, you're going to love her graduated colours.


Have a creative week! 

Thanks for looking, and remember

Envelope Dies perfect for an Acetate Tent card and some new DSP

After creating yesterday's cards I was on a roll and created this one using the beautiful Gilded Autumn DSP and the Fancy Phrases stamp set.  I really love the sentiments in this set.  It is such a simple design and easy to create. You can find all the directions on yesterday's post for Just Add Ink (JAI#518)  I watercoloured the white leaf after I had adhered the gold veins just to soften it, and I added a strip of mint DSP to the front of one of the tent stands as the white was a bit stark. That's the cool thing about this design, you can change it up plenty of ways. I'm sure we can all send these type of cards at the moment. I hope you are safe and well, and staying connected, wherever you are. I hope you have a creative week and remember,  "don't just post online,  post something pretty!" cheers, Liz Product List Ornamental Envelopes Bundle [ 155168 ] $83.50 Envelopes  Dies [ 153531 ] $63.00 Shimmery White A4 Car

#Onstage Sydney 2022 Fancy Flora Suite , Display Stamping # 1 beginner, casual, avid samples

I'm so honoured to have been asked to present the premier suite "Fancy Flora" from the new Mini Catalogue - what a treat. ( Available January 5 - May 12023 ). This is one of a series of posts showing some of the projects I created using this suite. It's a long one so grab a cuppa and enjoy my tips and tricks and first projects. Relieved the presentation is over and with my samples on the board! Firstly I had the pleasure of showing the suite- 2 stampsets, 2 sets of dies, some 6x6 DSP, Shimmer Card, Ribbon and Gems. With every new set I allow myself plenty of time to just play with it and explore the possibilities in colour and layout. In doing this I create a series of Mood boards that make it much faster when I come to use the product to quickly identify how many dies in each set, how many stamps and which ones match the dies, and which ribbons and bling I have in my stash- or in the current catalogues that match the colours of the new suite. That way I don't for
