CI#32 Spots, Stripes and Straws


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 something.




The gold foil piece is cut using the Petal paletts thinlits, and the sentiment is from Just Sitting here.
And for the inside I just repeated the navy spray - stamped off.

I hope you feel inspried to play with these gorgeous colours and share your creations with us on our facebook group.  But first continue around the group to get some different ideas with the same colours. Next this week is the super clever Tanya, she has such a lovely style.  
Also a big welcome to Kim Oliver - our newest design team member. Be sure to check out her work too.
I hope you have a creative week and remember, 
"don't just post online,
 post something pretty!"

cheers, Liz

    What a fabulous idea to use the white ink underneath the navy - it makes a wonderful difference to the intensity of colour. I love the elegance of your card.

    I adore the sublte colour you have added to your flower image Liz. The embossed background along with the twine, pearls and gold trim all come together for the tactile element beautifully.

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
