Colour INKspiration #40

Welcome back for Colour INKspiration round #40. This round will be up for 3 weeks so you have quite a while to create a project using this week's inspiration photo and post it to our Facebook page.

The photo this week is very regal with strong colours.

I love the woodgrain, the lines, the ornate ceiling rose, the candelabra, the table and chairs. But I don't love Old Olive ( and I can never get it to look the right shade in my photos), and I don't own Gorgeous Grape ink (so I substituted Highland Heather, though I did have the right cardstock). In the end I made a little set of gift notecards using the Hostess set "Seasoned with Kindness" which has been patiently waiting to get inked up.

The Olive paper used to decorate the front of the pizza box is from the new Frosted Floral DSP which will be in the Holiday Catalogue. It's such beautiful paper it could almost make me love Old Olive......

Some of the pots I stamped directly onto woodgrain paper and some I stamped onto Vanilla and coloured with the blender pen.
The Stamparatus was fabulous for positioning the leaves and I was able to stamp off the solid image so that it wasn't too strong, then stamp the lined images several times to get nice dark detail. .......Love my STAMPARATUS!
And of course the Layering Squares thinlints allow you to get just the finest border detail of colour. Much more accurate than just using the trimmer. So many tools to make it easier (Not really faster in my case!)
Next on the hop this week is the talented Kim Oliver, be sure to hop all the way around. It's fascinating to see how everyone interprets the set colours each challenge.

And don't be shy- we love to see how these colours inspire you. Join our Facebook group and post a photo of your project too.

I hope you have a creative week and remember,

"don't just post online,

post something pretty!"

cheers, Liz

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,...

GDP #277 a gorgeous colour combination with Pretty Perennials

The Pretty Perennials Stampset is gorgeous to use on its own but the floral dies really do add a little something special. My card this week matches the colour challenge at the Global Design Project. I have stamped directly onto the Oh so Ombre DSP which is a free Sale A Bration item with a qualifying purchase for the rest of this month. I love the tone on tone stamping for added depth. I have gone over the Happy with Wink of Stella but it's not easy to photograph. The teeny heart is a teeny leftover of some retired Blushing Bride Glimmer paper and I have also incorporated other retired embellishments like the library clip and crystal button - I do love to use them up. Pink and florals - a perfect match. Here's what I used.

CTC#48 Who doesn't love new DSP

Welcome back to CASEing the Catty for this round. You may have come from Rachel's beautiful project or you maybe starting here. There are lots of great posts to visit. This week we are using new Designer Series paper from the Holiday Catalogue - and who doesn't love a pack of new paper? The problem of course is which one to choose.... followed by the problem of actually having to CUT into a pristine pack. ....I know you all know what I mean. I have lots of photos for you today to try and show off some of the designs, but it's not easy to capture and they always look so much better in real life. I have purchased two packs - the Happy Haunting pack on page 47, which I was inspired to get purely from the background piece on the Lighthearted Leaves card on page 44. I don't celebrate Halloween, nor am I usually all that partial to Orange shades, but maybe that's changing! because I really like the designs. The pack has several papers that are specifically...
