Colour INKspiration #127 using Brightest Beauty Wattle stampset

Life has been busy in these last few months and I am very happy to be back creating with the crew today for colour INkspiration#127.
It's a beautiful colour combination this week and we hope you are inspired to create something and share with us.
I have a number of new stampsets just itching to be inked up and these colours seemed perfect for the gorgeous Wattle  Brightest Beauty stampset. There are coordinating dies ( Golden Beauty) which also cut out the cutest little wattle pompoms with a lovely texture, but I used only the fancy label and the branch outline for this card. I was delighted with how well the two step stamps lined up and how simple it is to create this lovely branch. There are two wattles currently in flower just down the street which I walk past each day. One type has the grey/green leaves which are long and thin, but the other has leaves with a more rounded tip which are definitely  Pear Pizazz shade of green.




The set has a fabulous texture stamp with tiny triangles which adds a nice depth. I also used this to stamp on the Natural Finish ribbon, which i think adds a nice hint of colour. And tucked in there is a strip from one of the Sale a bration gifts which you can earn with a $90 spend- the Silvder and Gold specialty DSP. It is so easy to sponge and stamp on this paper.


One of my local Wattle trees! They smell lovely


I hope you have a creative week and remember, 
"don't just post online,
 post something pretty!"
cheers, Liz

CTC#86 Everyday is a good day to send a card

Welcome to the CASEing the Catty Sunday night blogshop where we use a section of the Catalogue to inspire this weeks projects. Designers can take a layout, a colour combination, or any element as the starting point to create something new. We invite you to tour around the hop and to join in -after all the Catalogue has so many beautiful samples to inspire us all. If you get lost you'll find the full crew here . You may have arrived from Simone , so welcome. And this week we are really excited to welcome 3 new designers to the team, Krissy, Deb and Kelly  please do leave them a comment and welcome. This week we are using the samples from the Everyday Occasions section (which is a huge section) from pages 66-91. Because this is such a big section we will revisit it in a few weeks.  I have chosen the card on page 71 because I have always been attracted to grids.  I have used the gorgeous new By the Shore Designer Series paper, it has such a lovely fres...

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...

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...
