Colour INKspiration #186

Hello and welcome to Colour INKspiration #186!

This challenge we are saying farewell to the 2023-2025 In Colours. These have been some of my favourite In Colours due to the earthiness of the colours. We were challenged to showcase our favourites but I have used all 5. It is always lovely to see the lovely new colours come along and this years In Colours are just as beautiful.

I started out creating for this challenge by using one of my favourite Bundles that is retiring soon. The Country Flowers Bundle. I have teamed it with some products that are also retiring. I love the Copper Clay Plaid paper from the Take to the Sky Designer Series Paper. Perfect for my background layer.

The card base is Copper Clay. The Designer series paper  was roughed with scissors at the edges. I stamped some of the splodges from the Elements of Text stamp set in Copper Clay and used blending brushes and Copper Clay ink to darken the edges giving depth. I then ran this piece of DSP through the Stamp & Emboss Machine using the Timber 3 D Embossing Folder. before gluing to the card front.

The Perennial Postage die cut was the perfect background for the main images in Copper Clay

 I stamped the feature images in Memento ™Tuxedo Black ink before using all the In Colour Stampin' Blends to colour then die cut before arranging them on the Postage layer. I layer two lengths of the Gold Ribbon across the card front and secured with Glue dots before adhering the top layers using Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped in Versamark™ ink on Pebbled Path card stock.Sprinkled with White Embossing Powder and set with the Heat Tool. It was then cut with scissors before being adhered to the card front using Mini Dimensionals. I then adhered six of the Copper ClayShimmer Gems to complete my card.

I hope you will join us in our Facebook group and create for this challenge using these beautiful colours and upload your project here https://www.facebook.com/groups/349642308720075

Have a great week!

Around the World on Wednesday - Five Years Around the World on Wednesday

Hello and welcome to the Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop for April. This months we have been hopping for 5 years! It has been a lot of fun creating with this design team and we truly hope you feel inspired by us. Below is an image of where we all live around the globe. 

To celebrate we have been challenged to CASe one of the lovely people instrumental in getting this Blog Hop off the ground. That lovely person is Anne Marie Hile. Follow Anne on Instagram using @stampin_anne.

I set about this challenge by choosing a stamp set first and then looked at Anne's gorgeous projects until one caught my eye that would be perfect. I chose the Textured Notes Bundle and products from the coordinating suite. Below is the beautiful card I have CASed. The coordinating Woven Textures Designer Series Paper worked so well for the background and honoured the card that Anne made. I love the gentleness of Anne's card.

I started with a Mossy Meadow card base. I cut the matt layer from the Woven Textures Designer Series Paper. The die cut layer was cut from the same DSP using the Textured notes dies. 

I stamped the smaller leaf branch in Mossy Meadow ink on the die cut DSP. I then stamped the larger leaf image in Mossy Meadow ink on a piece of the same DSP and fussy cut it before adhering it to the top of the other stamped image using Dimensionals. I let it overhang the side of the die cut rectangle.

I stamped the sentiment in Versamark™ink on Mossy Meadow card stock. Then sprinkled with white Embossing Powder and set with the Heat Tool. I die cut this with another die from the Textured notes Dies. I cut a length of Linen Thread and tied it in a double bow and adhered it to the back of the sentiment and secured it using a GlueDot™. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Dimensionals. I resisted the urge to embellish anymore as I feel this card would work as it is for both men and women alike.

Up next on this months blog hop is the wonderfully talented Rochelle Laird-Smith.
