CI#123 Vintage Bottle of pink sequins with flowers

Welcome back for colour INKspiration again and a gorgeous colour combination to play with. I was tempted by the inspo photo to pull out the wonderful tropical plant Artistically Inked set,  but the bottle punch was at hand and it's just so cute I went with that.

I've used a Shaded Spruce wash, a jar full of Blushing Bride sequins and Effervescent Elements, some Metallic Woven Ribbon and some watercolour 100 diecut floral elements using the Flowers of Home Dies. Add to this some stamped and fussy cut greenery sprigs from the Bottled Happiness set. Set a piece of Layering Designs vellum as your background layer and add half a foil frame from the Fabulous Frames dies and finish it off with some In Colour Opal Rounds and there you have it.


When you elements are cut from Watercolour Paper or Shimmer Cardstock you can paint them up with variegated colours as you go.
The elements are fun, and your card will not be too bulky to post. You will need to wrap it in some lightweight card to protect it in the envelope - I use a strip cut lengthways from a manilla folder and wrap it around the entire card. 
In Australia your card still fits in the Large Letter slot so it only costs 2 stamps instead of 1.

Rolled paper roses Frames

Two new Frames for the Handmade Expo Markets this weekend. These are hand rolled vanilla paper roses, with newsprint DSP in the red version. Sentiment is from Painted Petals, making the paper roses is made easier using the Spiral Flower Die thanks for looking. Of course these can be mDe to order, liz

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
