I have a new colour palette here for the latest Colour INKspiration challenge, AND I have some brand new stamps, dies and 3D embossing folder. I just HAD to play along this week.
How is it already June? .... the END of June? I'm so happy I got a project together for this week's challenge, it's been too long since I could commit to participating.
As a Demonstrator one of the perks is getting new stuff before it is officially available to the public. You can get this set early too, if you are already a demonstrator, or you join my team and put this in your starter kit.
I am always drawn to nature sets, and particularly leaves as I sold my last set and then regretted it!
Changing Leaves has 3 leaf image stamps which are a good size for a feature on your card, and 5 sentiment stamps in a simple uncluttered font. There are dies to cut the outlines of the 3 leaves ( in one large single die ) 3 stitched labels and a few detailed leaf dies, as well as a smaller cluster of 3 tiny leaves in one branch. It's a gorgeous set, but the real catch for me is the 3D embossing folder which is a hybrid. This means that you can emboss and diecut all in one pass through your diecut machine.
I stamped the large leaf in versamark and heat embossed with clear powder on Basic Beige cardstock. I then blended Lost Lagoon over the whole leaf. The medium leaf cluster was stamped onto white cardstock and heat embossed with gold powder, then Daffodil Delight and Cajun Craze were blended over the gold leaves before cutting them out. I also used this panel of coloured card for the sentiment. I love the oval edges on the label die. I cut a few small leaves in gold shimmer, and the skeleton leaves in Lost Lagoon, which I made darker by blending more Lost Lagoon ink on top.
With the last of the Lost Lagoon ink on the blending brush I also added a little colour and definition to the embossed DSP panel for the background. The definite ridges of the leaves caught the Lost Lagoon ink from some very gentle brushing. I think you can see the gorgeous detail in this next photo.
The embossed background is some Basic Beige DSP from the Country Lace pack.
The text and a few tiny accents bring in the Real Red

This week we welcome Sharon Dalton as our guest designer. I know her style is detailed and has lots of lovely layers. I can't wait to see what she has created.
You can create a project with these colours too and share it with us on our Facebook Group. It's very easy. You can find more details about the guidelines on the page.
We'd love to see what you are inspired to produce.
Don't forget to order your set of the Changing Leaves 3D Hybrid embossing folder on July 3rd. OR message me if you want to order it early!
Happy stamping
I hope you have a creative week and remember,
"don't just post online,
post something pretty!"
cheers, Liz
