Colour INKspiration #176 Petunia Pop Bouquet

What a beautiful colour combination for CI#176.

This is such a lovely fresh colour palette, I had a lot of fun putting this card together.

I wanted to use the Textured Floral stampset as it has been sitting on my shelf a teensy bit neglected. It was perfect to use with only one colour of flower. Petunia Pop is bright and breezy and all 5 In Colours are available in the 2024-2026 12 x 12 specialty Glimmer paper which was a lovely lift for the flower centres.The Granny Apple Green leaves add a brightness and I used the olive glimmer paper (from the Berry Burst, Old Olive and White Glimmer Paper )to add some sparkle. It was nice to use just the one stampset and Textured Floral dies for this project - although the label die for the sentiment is from a retired set. I am not always great at cutting straight strips so this die gets me out of trouble sometimes.

This week was the Backyard Bird Count across Australia so it's fitting that the inspiration picture contained a bird- and what a cute little fellow he is. Picture Credit for this goes to https://diply.com/112062/australian-pink-robins-are-cute-and-vibrant-and-oh-so-very-roun


I embossed the Basic Beige background using the Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder and splattered a little bit of gold ink on this piece. I don't have a lot of black card at the moment ( How does that happen?) but I do have plenty of black and white DSP so that worked well for a mat layer. The black and very vanilla large check  ribbon is such a terrific addition to your craft stash, it adds a big presence to your card. Here I cut it down the middle to give 2 narrow pieces which made a lovely loopy bow



You can never have too many thankyou cards, and this is a beautiful sentiment, which is also in the Textured Floral set.

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...
