Welcome to another Colour INkspiration challenge. What a gorgeous colour palette this week. I love Pink and Navy- and who can resist gold. I really enjoyed this card. The inspiration pic is really cute too. I just recently acquired this stamp set  - Touches of Texture - after having it on my wish list for ages. This gorgeous spray of flowers is so delicate. It's really all you need on a card.  I'm so happy the set is carrying over into the next catalogue. To create this I heat embossed the image in white, then I coloured the flowers with Craft White ink and my blender pen. Once that ink was really dry I used the blender again with Navy Ink to colour the flowers.  I find Pink Pirouette such a hard colour to use because it's almost too soft. But it is perfect for the texture background behind this flower image. It didn't show up at all on Crumb Cake but I did stamp it on the Pink Pirouette panel on the card base. Tone on Tone always just adds a little ...

Welcome back to another week of CASEing the Catty.  April is rushing by but I have found/ made some time to be creative this week for this blog and a class. The bigshot is an essential tool in my craft room - and I love it. Stampin' Up! has so many great thinlits and embossing folders to use with it that it's sometimes hard to choose where to invest your money. So I try and purchase items which are able to be used in a number of different ways, and which will be good for gift giving, market stalls and personal use.  The Lots to Love box Framelits set is one of those sets which ticks those boxes for me. I have created a few different items this week to showcase it's versatility. And I have to thank all those generous crafters who share their ideas and projects online.  I am a long time fan of Dawn Olchefski and her great videos (because I am unlikely to create any videos any time soon). You can get the links and some of the techniques for these projects from her...

Hello again, what a busy week with Easter, Onstage and new catalogue excitement. I love the inspiration picture with all the circle and patterns. But it's been so busy that I really needed something simple this week. If I look back over my Pinterest boards Circles are a recurring theme for me. So this was easy to put together. The colours this week were suggested by Monique, Who surprised us all when she appeared on stage as a Display Stamper. It was wonderful to hear her story and see how creative she was with her projects. but Double Surprise when Denita was also up on stage demonstrating too. Congratulations girls - both fabulous presentations. This is a great layout for using up different DSP papers together and I have done variations on this layout quite often. Since I have also set myself a personal challenge to use up DSP this worked well too. The stamping is pretty simple and used Daisy Delight and Lots of Love. Circles of course includes glimmer dots ...
