This is my creation... I was a bit slack this week as I couldn't get that creative.. Although I have decided on and started my swaps for Onstage in April so that has to be good right??

The flowers and leaves were stamped onto the watercolour paper and I used an aqua painter to move the colour around so it looked like it was watercoloured.

I made this at a crop night last night and the lady sitting next to me absolutely loved it... I wasn't very sure but I think its ok considering it has colours I normally wouldn't use alot.

• Stamps: Special Reason
  
• Ink:  Wisteria Wonder, Garden Green. Mint Macaron & Soft Sky
• Card: Whisper White, Watercolour, Wisteria Wonder, Soft Sky and Blooms and Bliss DSP
• Tools: Stylish Stems with the Bigshot
• Embelishments: Pearls, wink of stella, Dimensionals and Linen Thread

This is the challenge 

Super super pretty and indeed a challenge!!

Here is the girls hop with it starting with the talented Bronwyn Eastley

This is another challenge where you can request to join the facebook page and upload your creations-  

 https://www.facebook.com/groups/349642308720075/

This is my creation... I was away this week and I had it in my mind so I had to get straight into the craft room to see if it would work.... I thought its not really a challenge unless you try to use ALL the colours.. so I did.

I love this! It is actually the first time that I have inked up my beautiful you stampset..
It definitely won't be the last.

I stamped the background with all the colours using the smaller paint swish from the set.
The lady was stamped off in So Saffron then stamped on the watercolour paper so it was very light. I then used an aqua painter to colour her in with all the colours. Isn't she so soft and subtle?

• Stamps: Beautiful You
  
• Ink:  Memento, Peekaboo Peach, Tempting Turquoise, So Saffron, Mint Macaron, Blushing Bride and Sweet Sugarplum
• Card: Whisper White, Sweet Sugarplum, Silver Glimmer and Watercolour
• Tools: Stitched Square Framelit with the bigshot and an aquapainter
• Embelishments: Rhinestones

The most exciting time of the year - Saleabration!!!!

Hello everyone. 

Today is the most exciting time of the year for me - SALEABRATION!!  

For every $90 you spend you get to choose an item from this catalogue 

Click on the picture to see the great amount of beautiful FREEBIES!!

Coinciding with today is the awesome Occasions Catalogue in which I was lucky enough to receive some beautiful product to make samples with at Onstage Live in Brisbane in early November. 

I love everything about this brilliant catalogue

Click on the image to see the gorgeous products available 

There are some items from the recent Holiday Catalogue that were so popular that they are carrying over for a time and can still be purchased, check them out here

But the fun and excitement does not stop there - HOST a party (or spend $400 yourself) and there are even more rewards! an extra $40 on the hostess rewards on top of the current ones. 

That is something to saleabrate!!

 

Here is something that I whipped up for a friends engagement the other day using some of the new products available from the occasions catalogue

While I was at it her gorgeous little girl had a birthday so I made her a card too

 

Another awesome thing about SALEABRATION is if you join my team (The Inkypinks) you also get to choose TWO extra free stampsets to add to your kit!! WOW!! It truly is the best time of the year to join.

You can join as a hobby demonstrator to get yourself a nice little discount or make it into your full time job... 

The choice is yours.  

The bonus is that if you can not continue with it... there are no exit fees!! 

What are you waiting for???

Pre Colour INKspiration sample

Hi Everyone - There is a new facebook group called Colour INKspiration that consists of a team of talented Aussie and NZ Stampin' Up! ® Demonstrators that create projects based on Pinterest inspired colour swatches. 

There’s also a Facebook group for Stampin' Up! ® enthusiasts who would like to share their paper craft projects using the colour combinations.

This is what is going to happen - Every second and fourth Wednesday of the month at 7 pm (AEDT), a new colour swatch will be uploaded to the Facebook Colour INKspiration Group and the Colour INKspiration Crew will get the ball rolling by providing inspiration for each challenge with a blog hop. The first one starts on Wednesday, 11th January.

Members of the group have the option to join the Colour INKspiration 'Challenge' by uploading photos of their projects and can link back to their personal blog if they wish to.
Make sure you click on the link below and ask to join Colour INKspiration, add the group to your favourites and share it with your crafty friends so they can join in with the challenges too. 

Hope to see you there!
