Colour INKspiration - a NEW colour challenge blog. Getting excited for the start!

I have been very keen to tell you about this but had to wait until I had some time to create something new for you to see! So today I have for you A Sneak Peak with new products, AND an invitation for you to join with some other creative people around the world!

 

I have some exciting news to share; I’m on the Colour INKspiration Crew! It consists of a team of talented Aussie and NZ Stampin' Up! ® Demonstrators that create projects based on Pinterest inspired colour swatches. 
There’s also a Facebook group for Stampin' Up! ® enthusiasts who would like to share their paper craft projects using the colour combinations.
Here’s the deal - Every second and fourth Wednesday of the month at 7 pm (AEDT), a new colour swatch will be uploaded to the Facebook Colour INKspiration Group and the Colour INKspiration Crew will get the ball rolling by providing inspiration for each challenge with a blog hop. Our first one starts on Wednesday, 11th January.
Members of the group have the option to join the Colour INKspiration 'Challenge' by uploading photos of their projects and can link back to their personal blog if they wish to.
Make sure you click on the link below and ask to join Colour INKspiration, add the group to your favourites and share it with your crafty friends so they can join in with the challenges too. 
Hope to see you there!

This is what the banner for the Facebook page will look like when it goes live!

So the real beauty of this site is that you don't need to have your own blog to participate! All you need to do is create a card using the colours for that week and take a photo of your creation, then upload it to the Facebook page just as you would any other photo! It's going to be so inspiring. 
So make sure you ask to be part of the group so you can join in!
Message me if you have any questions.

So to get in the mood Bronwyn took a poll of favourite shades of blue, green and yellow and came up with this gorgeous colour combo.  I've had a little play with some new stamps and framelits and I have a card to share with you today.




You might notice new DSP in the background too!
The silver embellishment in the second photo seems to have picked up the colour of my shirt in the photo! It really is just silver!

So now I've given you a sneak peak I'm off back to the craft desk!
I'll have more to show you soon,
Cheers, Liz

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
