Colour INKspiration #175 bright and beautiful yellows

I've been away for a lovely long holiday and have not done any craft for ages.....you may have noticed I haven't posted anything for a while.....so it's been nice to create a little card. The CI challenges are a great way to find a starting point for creation.

If you need somewhere to get started with your crafting, a colour challenge is perfect. We would love it if you joined us in this challenge and share a picture of whatever you create using these sunny tones. Join us in our Facebook group. You have 2 weeks to share with us.I have to admit I have lots of scraps lying around - as I am reluctant to discard beautiful pieces -so this is card is one using up some scraps from the desk - a little bit of old, a little bit of new....

I took a white diecut from my useful box ( old parts of projects that need a new life) and applied some Lemon Lolly and some Crushed Curry Ink as well as a little touch of Crumb Cake using the wonderful Blending Brushes. Then I carefully peeled back the Adhesive Sheets layer and fastened it onto a sheet of crumb cake. This piece needed to be matted on a white layer to give the card some depth. The Adhesive Sheets make life so easy as they eliminate the risk of making a mess with liquid glue on your fine pieces. You can get lots of embellishments cut from one pack. I highly recommend them.

The sentiment is from Kindest Expressions which I heat embossed with the gorgeous new Metallics-wow! Embossing Powders using the copper, which worked a treat. ( The new branded powders have much better coverage and more definite colours, they are great) This piece is layered on some crushed curry for impact.

The Crushed Curry ribbon is now retired but it was good to finish off that roll and make some more space in my ribbon box. It was easy to make some loops and hold them together with glue dots - simple and effective.

To create the flowers I used both yellow inks on some Fluid 100 Watercolour Paper and once it was dry I used the fabulous Flowers of Beauty Dies to cut out a bunch of flowers. These look lovely once I put the Irridescent Pearl Basics in the centres.

I hope you have a creative week and do please share your creations with us in the Colour INKspiration Facebook page, and remember,

"don't just post online,

post something pretty!"

cheers, Liz

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.

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 #11, lovely colour combo

I've had a bit of fun this morning playing with a fe new products. I LOVE the new embossing paste- and I've been waiting for ages for SU to bring out some materials for mixed media. This paste is light and very easy to spread it dries quickly and gives a beautiful finish It can be easily coloured with our refill inks to create a perfect match. This weeks colours are just lovely together. In my card I have used marina mist ink to colour the paste and used the brick wall mask. This is spread over a watercolour wash using Marina Mist- I just love the layers of colour. To create the leaves I used the 3 ink colours from the challenge and the baby wipe technique to get the variegated leaves using the Colorful Seasons stamp set and framelits. I don't currently have any Early Espresso cardstock but I do have some very old (retired) Early Espresso heat emboss powder, and I have used this for the sentiment on vellum. Of course I ended up with ...
