Colour INKspiration 25

Welcome to a new year and a fresh challenge from the colour INKspiration Crew!
These gorgeous colours were chosen by Tricia Raineri.

I just earned Epic Celebrations through Sale-a-bration and thought it was the perfect set to use with this colour combo!

Great card for a teenager boy or girl! I had nearly forgotten about the Foil Frenzy Paper as I have only used it on one card!

With a hint of a neutral colour (black) it pops when the guitar is embossed with white embossing powder. As usual I did do a bit of fussy cutting with the guitar and the black border around the punched sentiment.

• Stamps: Epic Celebrations (Free on a $90 AUD spend)
• Ink: Versamark, Night of Navy and Lemon Lime Twist
• Card: Whisper White, Lemon Lime Twist, Night of Navy, Basic Black, Foil Frenzy Specialty DSP, Myths & Magic Glimmer paper and Petal Passion DSP
• Tools: Lots of Labels Framelits with the Bigshot as well as the 1 1/4 circle punch
• Embelishments:  Dimensionals 

Next up is the ever so lovely Tanya

Stampin Up Saleabration 2018 blog hop

Welcome to 2018 and my first blog hop for the year!

We have lots of creativity to share with you featuring Sale-A-Bration 2018 and Occasions products. 

Here is what I made using the Myths and Magic Specialty Designer series paper, teamed up with the new Myths and Magic Glimmer paper and the gorgeous Shimmer Ribbon Pack from Sale-a-bration.

For anyone who knows me I do love a box card and love to make them! This one came straight to me when I saw the images in the new Occasions Catalogue.

I also love to fussy cut and these gorgeous Mermaids were cut from the

Specialty Designer Series Paper!! 

It is very hard to photograph shimmery, shiny, glittery cards as they do not come up well in photos, but this is such a glimmery card!

• Stamps: Sentiment from Perennial Birthday and Bubbles from Magical Day
• Ink:  Dapper Denim and Bermuda Bay
• Card: Dapper Denim, Whisper White, Myths and Magic Specialty Designer Series Paper & Myths and Magic Glimmer Paper
• Tools: Magical Mates Framelits Dies with the bigshot
• Embellishments: Dimensionals, Shimmer Ribbon Pack & Sequins

Don't know what Sale-A-Bration is all about? It is an annual event where exclusive products are earned for orders placed. A minimum $90 (AUD) purchase is required.

You can earn as many Sale-A-Bration products as you would like.

If you are ready to place your Sale-A-Bration order (In Australia) and don't already have a demonstrator, I would be happy to help you out!

I hope you enjoyed my creation, make sure you keep hopping along to see all the other beautiful Sale-A-Bration projects!

What Will You Stamp 149? #WWYS149

Happy New Year Everybody!

What Will you Stamp Challenge number 149.

I hope that you like what I can come up with for these awesome challenges.

I hope more of you join in with these great stampset challenges as they are fun!

Beautiful Bouquet is such a versatile set! I actually made this card with my class girls a few months ago and haven't blogged it as yet!

It is called the Retiform Technique!

It is pretty simple to make, all you do is mask off a section and grab a sponge dauber to darken the edge and stamp your image in the section. Just move the masks around and repeat! So effective!

• Stamps: Beautiful Bouquet
• Ink:  Berry Burst, Fresh Fig, Pink Pirouette, Wild Wasabi, Pumpkin Pie & Daffodil Delight
• Card: Whisper White, Daffodil Delight & Berry Burst
• Tools: Stitched Shapes, Layering Ovals & Bouquet Bunch Framelits with the bigshot 
• Embellishments: Dimensionals, Fresh Fig Finely Woven Ribbon & Wink of Stella

What Will you Stamp Challenge number 147.

I hope that you like what I can come up with for these awesome challenges.

I hope more of you join in with these great stampset challenges as they are fun!

It is such a cute set for an Australian Christmas!
This time I thought I would use the stamp that I hadn't used in this set and that was the beachy decorated tree.

The background of the tree I have used a new item in the upcoming Occasions Catalogue called Brusho! I have mixed two of the colours to get a nicer green and fussy cut the embossed tree out.

The great thing about our Stampin' Blends is they colour the rhinestones and pearls beautifully.

• Stamps: Beachy Christmas
• Ink:  Memento Black,Crumb Cake and Versamark
• Card: Whisper White, Pear Pizzaz, Silver Foil, Watercolour and Merry Music Specialty DSP
• Tools: Decorative Ribbon Border Punch, Brushos (upcoming Occasions catalogue), Cherry Cobbler and Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends and Silver Embossing powder
• Embellishments: Silver Ribbon, Dimensionals, Rhinestones and Wink of Stella

Just Add Ink Challenge #390

I have had my niece staying with me for a few days so I haven't been creating much.
This weeks challenge is a sketch...

I have been playing around with my Stampin' Blends alot lately and here is a card I made with the pretty flowers from the Petal Passion Designer Series Paper.
I am planning on using all the flowers from the sheet to make various cards.

My sister has a birthday coming up in January I think I will give her this card.... shhhh it's ok she never reads my blog.....

It does have wink of stella on it but it is extremely hard to photograph. Very sparkly.
The flowers have photographed a bit darker than usual. It doesn't help that it is an awful afternoon here in Perth with a storm brewing.......

• Stamps: Sentiment from Perennial Birthday (upcoming Occasions catalogue)
• Ink:  Versamark and Old Olive
• Card: Whisper White, Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive, vellum and Petal Passion DSP (upcoming Occasions catalogue)
• Tools: Rich Razzleberry & Old Olive Stampin' Blends, Stitched Framelits and Layered Leaves Thick Embossing Folder with the bigshot, White Stampin Emboss Powder
• Embellishments:  Wink of Stella and Dimensionals

Colour INKspiration 24

I made another Birthday Card to add to the collection..

It is a vellum cardbase with a smaller insert inside.
It is actually a lot prettier than this pic shows as there is also wink of stella on the flowers.
The watercolour background was made by wetting the background watercolour cardbase and dropping dots of the pool party and tranquil tide inks on it to spread.
Let it dry naturally.

• Ink: Blushing Bride, Tranquil Tide, Pool Party, Cherry Cobbler
• Card: Whisper White, Pear Pizzazz, Vellum, Silver Foil, Pool Party, watercolour & Cherry Cobbler
