CI # 144

Hello and Welcome to another round of fun and vibrant Colour INKspiration.



I love the texture in the inspiration photo, but mostly I loved the layers / blocks of colour so that is where I went with my birthday card.

I used the new stampset Circle Sayings and stamped the cupcake 5 times in crumb cake. ( the bundle with the circle punch is great but I jsut used the stampset for this project ). I don't have too many blends so I coloured each one using my Blender Pen and each ink.  It wasn't hard to fussy cut each one.

I do find that sometimes images fade a little when coloured this way so to preserve the colour I covered each one completely with Versamark and Clear embossing powder.  this also gives each cake lots of gloss.
A simple touch of Bubble Bath ink sponged onto the background and a few pastel sequins and I'm done.
The sentiment comes from the Welcome Home set and is very simple so as not to take away from the cakes.

I hope you've been enjoying the other fabulous creations using these beautiful colours in the Facebook group

These are predominantly pastel colours but gee they look bright in this gorgeous picture 
Here's what I used.
 
Don't forget we'd love to see what you create with these beautiful colours. Just join the Facebook group, take a photo and upload it to our page. Maybe you could be invited to be a guest designer! 

Happy Stamping

I hope you have a creative week and remember,

 post something pretty!"

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
