CI#145 Gorgeously Made Easel Card

It's time for another play with some Colour INKspiration colours. 
These are certainly vibrant and eye-catching together.

I don't have Lemon Lime Twist - I must be one of the few demos who doesn't love it! Instead I have used Parakeet Party which is similar tone but more vibrant.

I have created an easel card for  this project- one of my favourite card styles and you can see plenty on my page of Fancy Fold instructions above. (in the heading tabs across the top of the page it's the far right)



I have used the fabulous Gorgeously Made stampset and dies which is becoming a firm favourite for me. You can see some other cards we made in class recently here.

I love how easily you can layer the images over each other for a quick artsy look, and the inside and envelope are easy to quickly dress up with your second and third generation stamping after you stamp the front of the card. I stamped the images then ran the whole piece through the Embossing Folder before adding some sponging with both blues. The accent leaf spray is diecut from the IN Colour Glimmer paper and adds a nice sparkle. The sentiments come from the Warm Welcome set and I love how simple they are. 



My standing easel place holder is some cardstock and some more glimmer paper with some accent piece stamping behind. 


If you would like to join in the colour fun just take a photo of your creation and share it with us on our Facebook page. We'd love to see what you create.

I hope you have a creative week and remember,

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
