Welcome to the colour INKspiration bloghop. What a stunning and dramatic colour scheme we have this week. I'm excited to see what these colours inspire everyone to create. I love Nicole's gorgeous card this week, so many lovely details.
I wasn't sure where to start but thought I should definitely challenge myself with a stamp set which I loved in the catalogue but haven't really used yet. So I pulled out the Tasteful Textures stampset and the coordinating dies. They really are gorgeous and I feel bad that I haven't experimented with them very much.
The gorgeous colours just had to be watercoloured, so that was my starting point, and that huge round moon suggested a large round element on the card.
The champagne foil worked well to let the colours show through and I teamed up the sentiment on Gray Granite with a narrow textured strip of each of the colours. Taking inspiration from the sample on page 11 of the catalogue with the image of the bundle I tied a (retired) silver embellishment onto the sentiment panel.
The foil circle is raised up on (quite a lot of) mini dimensionals, which lets the light play and bring out the background.
And since I had the inside pieces of the foil left over I adhered them to a second watercolour panel. I ran the whole panel through the Subtle EF.
It feels good to have opened the set and used it. Can't wait to get some more samples made with this set, It really is as lovely as I had hoped.
Next on the hop this week is Tanya, be sure and hop all the way around for some amazing projects.
Don't forget we love to see what you create with these colours. Pop a photo on our Facebook page.
I hope you have a creative week and remember,
"don't just post online,
post something pretty!"
cheers, Liz

Oh yes! What a gorgeous collection! Like you, I haven't used Tasteful Textures as much as I thought I would but you've inspired me to get it out and give it some more play time.... if only there were 36 hours in every day!
ReplyDeleteOh clever use of the dies! And I always love a bit of watercolour wash in the background. Lovely cards!
ReplyDeleteThat watercoloured background is just so beautiful. Really lets the champagne element shine! Just love it! x
ReplyDeleteWow 2 beautiful cards!! I love the watercolouring on both, but the second card with the subtle embossing folder looks amazing!!
