Colour INKspiration #127 using Brightest Beauty Wattle stampset

Life has been busy in these last few months and I am very happy to be back creating with the crew today for colour INkspiration#127.
It's a beautiful colour combination this week and we hope you are inspired to create something and share with us.
I have a number of new stampsets just itching to be inked up and these colours seemed perfect for the gorgeous Wattle  Brightest Beauty stampset. There are coordinating dies ( Golden Beauty) which also cut out the cutest little wattle pompoms with a lovely texture, but I used only the fancy label and the branch outline for this card. I was delighted with how well the two step stamps lined up and how simple it is to create this lovely branch. There are two wattles currently in flower just down the street which I walk past each day. One type has the grey/green leaves which are long and thin, but the other has leaves with a more rounded tip which are definitely  Pear Pizazz shade of green.




The set has a fabulous texture stamp with tiny triangles which adds a nice depth. I also used this to stamp on the Natural Finish ribbon, which i think adds a nice hint of colour. And tucked in there is a strip from one of the Sale a bration gifts which you can earn with a $90 spend- the Silvder and Gold specialty DSP. It is so easy to sponge and stamp on this paper.


One of my local Wattle trees! They smell lovely


I hope you have a creative week and remember, 
"don't just post online,
 post something pretty!"
cheers, Liz

Because this is such a big section we will revisit it in a few weeks.  I have chosen the card on page 71 because I have always been attracted to grids.  I have used the gorgeous new By the Shore Designer Series paper, it has such a lovely fres...

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,...

Colour INKspiration#178 Happy Hibiscus

Happy Hibiscus is a new set in my collection and I needed to get it out and play with it, so this colour combination seemed like a good place to start.  Isn't the Inspiration picture amazing? I wish I was a better gardener and could grow these gorgeous treasures. But since that is not my skill I am happy to admire nature. Picture credit - https://leahhopephotography.client-gallery.com/.../print... I used the watercolour 100 paper and created two pieces of colour, one a range of dark and light Calypso Coral, and one a mix of Soft Sea Foam and Old Olive.  Once dry I was able to cut out the leaves and tiny flowers. I stamped the 3 large flowers over the watercolour and cut them out using the Hybrid Embossing Folder - It's so easy and super effective as it embosses and cuts in one pass creating some amazing depth for the blossoms. I love the leaf shapes and definition in these dies, just gorgeous. Lots of white seemed like a good way to let the colours shine, so a simple embosse...
