CI#93 FEB 10

Hello again, and welcome back to Colour INKspiration.

We have a great colour combination this week and I ended up with a few different versions, but I love the simplicity of the stamping using the Pretty Perennials set which will feature in my February class. I did find that it works best to stamp the berries and then add the stems after rather than the other way around.

I created a full A4 sheet of stamping with the 3 colours and wasn't sure what to do next but after cleaning up my craft room ( for the new year resolution!) I found a few cards and envelopes which were just begging to be used. I was particularly looking for a design that used only the stampset.

I also added in a few bits and pieces that were lying on my desk- the  strip of striped brown DSP and the blue glimmer paper as well as some rustic twine.

It really is a bright fresh colour combination, I hope you will play along with the challenge this round.

And I would also like to share my first samples. I wanted to show that the berry stamp from the Sale A Bration set can be used other than just for blueberries and makes a great background and texture stamp. I also used the berry  outline over the top and heat embossed with silver rings. I had the cut out turtles on my desk so they found their home on the front too. The Happy card is also a shaker using the sequins from the same suite.

The cut out letters from the first card worked really well as the inside message for the second card.

I hope that gives you some ideas for your own creativity.
