Colour INKspiration 92 #CI92

  

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 2200 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.

This colour combo will run for 4 weeks.

I ran into the craft room and grabbed a set I have had a little play with already but thought it was perfect for this colour combo....

Just stamp off the base of the flowers and use the darker ink for the inside of the flowers and the third stamp (the centre of the flower) is stamped with Merry Merlot on the Magenta Flower and Calypso Coral on the Daffodil Delight Flowers.

• Stamps: All Things Fabulous
• Ink: Versamark, Garden Green, Magenta Madness, Merry Merlot, Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral
• Card: Basic White, Basic Black, True Love Designer Series Paper

Social Stamping "Oh 2020"

 

Hello and welcome to the monthly Social Stamping Hop.

My friend Kelly Kent is the mastermind behind this and she put the group together to share our creations in a time where we were all social distancing and many were in isolation. It was very unnerving time for a lot of people as some have medical issues and loved ones who were compromised and can not afford to get ill. Creating is my sanity as I am a pretty social person and these past few months were a little bit of a struggle.

Life in 2020 has been a "Challenge" for our family. I had taken the last two hops off to have some time to grieve the loss of my beautiful mum. Yes, so I can not wait to see the back of 2020.

You have come from Kelly herself

So here is the next monthly theme that Kelly has set for us and it is "Oh 2020"

I was a little stumped on what I was going to do for this hop but I had actually started to scrapbook a couple of pages of mum using some new product from the Jan-June Mini that I just had to use them for this hop..... I bawled my eyes out the whole time making these pages..

The photo to the left is the last photo she had taken, she was gone 1 1/2 weeks later.

Her last wishes were to have Hydrangeas at her funeral... Well you can now understand the sadness when I opened the new Mini for next year to find a whole suite of them..... (but happy they were in there) I miss her so, so much, so if your mum is still around squeeze her ever so tightly and always tell her that you love her!

• Stamps: -
• Ink: -
• Card: Highland Heather, Rococo Rose, Seaside Spray, Old Olive, Purple Posy and Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper
• Tools: Hydrangea Dies with a Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine
• Embellishments: Dimensionals 

Jump on over to my Stampin' bestie Denise (who has been a godsend to me these past few months... Thankyou my friend xxx)

Stamping Pals #SP10

 

I have had my pre-order for the new upcoming catalogue arrive and I am so in love with the Hydrangea Suite so I used the sketch challenge below to make my card.

Such as pretty suite of colours and everything just matches perfectly together.

This sketch and the pretty designer series papers made this card come together so easily. I used two strips of the papers together to make the background and embossed with the subtle folder for a slight textured background. The leaves were stamped with the shadow stamp first in old olive then I cut the outline with the dies and used a sponge dauber to add colour to make the veins of the leaves stand out. The actual Hydrangea flower is designer series paper also but cut with the flower die. So so pretty. I think that you will see a lot of future cards and a scrapping page coming soon!

• Stamps: Hydrangea Haven
• Ink: Versamark, Old Olive and Mossy Meadow
• Card: Whisper White, Basic Black, Highland Heather and Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper
• Tools: Hydrangea Dies and Subtle Embossing folder with a Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine & White embossing powder and a heat tool 
• Embellishments: Dimensionals, Gorgeous Grape Sheer Ribbon & Pastel Pearls

Freshly Brewed Projects - Saleabration Sneak Peek

My friend Leonie from Stamp a latté has a weekly hop going and I am trying to get myself together to join in but the weeks seem to fly by... today is no different but her theme is Saleabration Sneak Peek and I am currently having a little play with my Saleabration items so I thought I would join in.

I have actually used two items from the upcoming saleabration catalogue can you pick what they are?

I used the gorgeous A Touch of Ink Stampset and the Oh So Ombre paper.

With the butterfly I sponge daubered the Gorgeous Grape and Magenta Madness on the background stamp, stamped it over the black outlined image and then my favourite thing to do... I fussy cut it out...

The sentiment was also stamped on the same ombre paper that was left over from the background and mounted up with dimensionals over the scrolled die cut magenta piece (this has also been daubered around the outside with the Gorgeous Grape)

The last thing I did was coloured the clear epoxy droplets with the Highland Heather Dark blend (closest to the Gorgeous Grape)

• Stamps: A Touch of Ink
• Ink: Granny Apple Green, Magenta Madness, Gorgeous Grape and Memento Black
• Card: Whisper White, Granny Apple Green, Magenta Madness and Oh So Ombre DSP
• Tools: Ornate Frames Dies with the Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine and a Dark Highland Heather Stampin' Blend
• Embellishments: Dimensionals & Clear Epoxy Droplets
