Little Red Wagon Challenge #807

 

I've found a new challenge to participate in!! 

yay I'm always up for a new challenge!

The theme for this challenge is "D is for Die Cut!"

My Card for this challenge used a few different Dies on it. 

The front had the arches from the Everyday Arches Dies as well as the dies from the Darling Dinos after I had stamped and coloured them with Stampin' Blends.

I made this card with my class ladies and they loved it as one of the panels incorporated one of the dino stampsets repetitively stamped over the background to form its own DSP look. 

• Stamps: Darling Dinos
• Ink: Memento Black and Pretty In Pink 
• Card: Basic White, Pretty in Pink, Soft Seafoam, Fresh Fresia and Wildflower Birthday specialty DSP
• Tools: Everyday Arches & Darling Dinos Dies with a Sampin' Cut n Emboss Machine
• Embellishments: - Dimensionals

These three challenges worked so, so well together!

My beautiful cousin turns 50 on Monday the 19th of May and I made her this gorgeous card using some new product that has just become available! It is stunning in real life.

I used a blending brush to add some depth to the Designer Series Paper in the background as well as the top layer of the flower and the tops of the 50 to give it a slight ombre effect.

Colour INKspiration 187 #CI187

  

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 3000 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.

As usual I am a little late. I can create on my days off and this week I only had today off. Here is my card that I have made for a very special relative of mine.

So pretty! Such a nice mix of colours and I am loving that Strawberry Slush is back once again!! I had a whole packet of cardstock so I am pretty happy it has returned.

I used a sponge dauber to put some more Strawberry Slush onto the die cut tulip elements to give it a bit more depth.

If you are interested in joining in on this great challenge.
