Colour INKspiration #175 bright and beautiful yellows

I've been away for a lovely long holiday and have not done any craft for ages.....you may have noticed I haven't posted anything for a while.....so it's been nice to create a little card. The CI challenges are a great way to find a starting point for creation.

If you need somewhere to get started with your crafting, a colour challenge is perfect. We would love it if you joined us in this challenge and share a picture of whatever you create using these sunny tones. Join us in our Facebook group. You have 2 weeks to share with us.I have to admit I have lots of scraps lying around - as I am reluctant to discard beautiful pieces -so this is card is one using up some scraps from the desk - a little bit of old, a little bit of new....

I took a white diecut from my useful box ( old parts of projects that need a new life)  and applied some Lemon Lolly and some Crushed Curry Ink as well as a little touch of Crumb Cake using the wonderful Blending Brushes. Then I carefully peeled back the Adhesive Sheets layer and fastened it onto a sheet of crumb cake. This piece needed to be matted on a white layer to give the card some depth. The Adhesive Sheets make life so easy as they eliminate the risk of making a mess with liquid glue on your fine pieces. You can get lots of embellishments cut from one pack. I highly recommend them.

The sentiment is from Kindest Expressions which I heat embossed with the gorgeous new Metallics-wow! Embossing Powders using the copper, which worked a treat. ( The new branded powders have much better coverage and more definite colours, they are great)  This piece is layered on some crushed curry for impact.

The Crushed Curry ribbon is now retired but it was good to finish off that roll and make some more space in my ribbon box. It was easy to make some loops and hold them together with glue dots - simple and effective.

To create the flowers I used both yellow inks on some Fluid 100 Watercolour Paper and once it was dry I used the fabulous Flowers of Beauty Dies to cut out a bunch of flowers. These look lovely once I put the Irridescent Pearl Basics in the centres.

I hope you have a creative week and do please share your creations with us in the Colour INKspiration Facebook page, and remember,

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.

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...
