Colour INKspiration #43 Beautiful Beehive Brightness

Hello again, it's Wednesday and that's Colour INKspiration day!

You may have joined me from the fabulous Rachel, or you may be starting here. Be sure and hop all the way around as there are so many different ideas and techniques and styles in the group. You're sure to find some "INKspiration". Then we'd love you to create your own project and share it with us on our Facebook page.

This round we are focusing on the current In colours - choose 1,2,3,4 or all 5 colours for your projects. Metallics and black/white/vanilla are allowed too. This set of colours is just so bright and fun.

I used 3 - Lovely Lipstick (super colour), Pineapple Punch ( instant pick me up) and Grapefruit Grove (beautiful blender and background colour).

I ran the watercolour paper through the Dynamic honeycomb embossing folder and spritzed the paper. I applied the ink with an aquapainter hoping the colour would pool in the "wells" which it did a little. Then I just 'joined the dots' with more ink and water filling in any areas that were bare of colour.

The water did soften the effect of the embossing folder so that once the piece was dry it was quite easy to stamp the flowers from Wood Words in the corner.

When it was all finished I ran it back through the embossing folder again. I quite love the effect. The little bee is a copper sticker from the embellishment sheets Tea Room Copper Vinyl Stickers. I've had quite a lot of uses from those cute little stickers.

Here's a different view of the profile which the folder gives. Everything looks better embossed! and since we humans are tactile creatures it just invites you to touch it!

Love those copper stickers

Next on the hop this week is one of our two fabulous Guest Designers - Anna Matasci You'e going to love her stylish card.

You could be a guest designer too if your card is chosen from the Facebook group.We'd love you to join in.

I hope you have a creative week and remember,

"don't just post online,

post something pretty!"

cheers, Liz

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,...

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.

CTC#48 Who doesn't love new DSP

Welcome back to CASEing the Catty for this round. You may have come from Rachel's beautiful project or you maybe starting here. There are lots of great posts to visit. This week we are using new Designer Series paper from the Holiday Catalogue - and who doesn't love a pack of new paper? The problem of course is which one to choose.... followed by the problem of actually having to CUT into a pristine pack. ....I know you all know what I mean. I have lots of photos for you today to try and show off some of the designs, but it's not easy to capture and they always look so much better in real life. I have purchased two packs - the Happy Haunting pack on page 47, which I was inspired to get purely from the background piece on the Lighthearted Leaves card on page 44. I don't celebrate Halloween, nor am I usually all that partial to Orange shades, but maybe that's changing! because I really like the designs. The pack has several papers that are specifically...
