Papercraft Crew 432 #PPC432 & Just Add Ink #JAI560

 

How cute is this sketch from over at Papercraft Crew?

I have decided to team it up with the gorgeous colour combo over at Just Add Ink this week.

I made this card for a really super special birthday that is coming up during the next school holidays.

My little (or not so little anymore) girl is turning 11.

Where has the time gone?

Using a different shape for the strips at the back gives this card a point of difference and using blending brushes and a bit of ink on basic white paper, then cutting out the butterfly gives the two tone effect.

Simply embossing the background gives the card texture and dimension.

• Stamps: Blossoms in Bloom
• Ink: Versamark, Blackberry Bliss and Coastal Cabana
• Card: Basic White, Basic Black, Blackberry Bliss, Grey Granite, Coastal Cabana and Vellum
• Tools:  Stitched Triangles, Pierced Blooms, Brilliant Wings and Potted Succulent Dies and Tasteful Textile Embossing folder with a Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine & White embossing powder and a heat tool 
• Embellishments: Dimensionals

Fab Fri 216 meets Freshly Made Sketches #FMS491

I have done a little mix up of two great challenges this week.

&

The simplicity of the sketch and the colours just worked so well together.

Simple strips of the challenge colours embossed make such a great background on this simple card.

The rest was colouring with Stampin' Blends including the white ribbon, (coloured with the Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Blend) which was then ruffled under the picture panel.

It was finished off with a white embossed hello on black cardstock and a few opal round gems .

 

• Stampset: Dressed to Impress
• Ink: Memento & Versamark
• Card: Basic White, Basic Black, Fresh Freesia, So Saffron, Granny Apple Green and Flirty Flamingo
• Tools: Dotty Hearts Embossing Folder, Stitched So Sweetly & All Dressed Up Dies with a Stampin' Cut N Emboss Machine, White Embossing Powder, Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green, Fresh Freesia and So Saffron Stampin' Blends.
• Embellishments:  Dimensionals, Opal Rounds and White Faux Linen from the Flowers for Every Season ribbon combo pack

Colour INKspiration 102 #CI102

 

Welcome to Colour Inkspiration!

What is Colour INKspiraton? – a Facebook based bi-monthly colour challenge.

Anyone with Facebook can join in.  You don’t need a blog and you don’t need to be a demonstrator.

I have joined in these challenges and love them as Colour challenges for me are actually a real challenge.

 Click here to join the Facebook page which now has over 2300 members and see what it’s all about.

Here’s some of the basic details about the challenge –

The Colour INKspiration Crew! consists of a team of talented Aussie and NZ Stampin’ Up! ® Demonstrators that create projects based on Pinterest inspired colour swatches.

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 post on their blogs.

Then you have a 12 day period to upload your own creations using the colours provided.

If you have a blog, feel free to link back to it, but all entries will be via Facebook.  The design team will select 5 projects to be ‘design team picks’ and then the Facebook group will select an overall winner from this shortlist.

Colour INKspiration 102

I have always loved a pink and gray/ grey colour scheme together!

Using the textured paste, coloured with Basic Gray and Smokey Slate re-inkers to colour the paste to make an ombre Grey textured background I then slathered it over the new triangle mask from the Plenty of Patterns Decorative Mask set with a palette knife. I purposely made it so it was chunky and textured. Who wants a perfectly smooth background using texture paste? Not me!

I can't wait to see what you come up with! 

Remember to upload your cards to our facebook group here!

Just Add Ink 559 #JAI559

Just Add Ink Challenge #559

This weeks challenge is a just add two challenge

I have decided to go with Stitching and Stripes for my card

This card didn't have any stamping bar the sentiment! 

Dies can make a card really pop and using patterned DSP to cut the shapes from just add that little bit of texture to it. Both the leaves and flowers were cut out of the Expressions In Ink DSP. 

I really love the pop of gold in these papers, it adds elegance to the card.

• Stamps: Hand Penned Petals
  
• Ink: Versamark
• Card: Basic White, Basic Black, Polished Pink, Pattern Party and Expressions In Ink DSP
• Tools: Stitched Rectangles and Penned Flowers Dies as well as Pretty Flowers Embossing Folder with a Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine, White Stampin' Emboss Powder and a heat tool

Global Design Project 296 #GDP296

  

Hi Everyone I have been a bit MIA lately as I have just spent the last 6 months studying Aged Care. 

I can tell you it is a total eye opener but it is a very rewarding course to do.

This week I have decided to jump back into some creating and saw this pretty card by Emma Goddard. It was case the designer so this is what I came up with along the lines of Emmas card.

I decided to go against the strips of paper and incorporate the colour with using daubers and blending brushes for the same sort of effect.

I did try to use the same colours that Emma used along the side of her card but when using ink it does show up alot darker than the cardstock pieces.

The white piece was stamped with the Shaded Summer flowers randomly with the Smokey Slate Ink and it was finished off with a white embossed sentiment on black cardstock cut out with a die from Hippo and Friends.

• Stamps: Shaded Summer and Friends are like Seashells
• Ink: Smokey Slate, Night of Navy, Misty Moonlight, Coastal Cabana, Melon Mambo, Mango Melody, Daffodil Delight and Versamark
• Card: Basic White and Basic Black
• Tools:  Hippo & Friends Dies with a Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine, White Embossing Powder with a heat tool. Sponge Daubers and Blending Brushes
• Embellishments: Dimensionals, White Bakers Twine, Pool Party sheer ribbon  & Blue Adhesive Backed Gems
