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.

Colour INKspiration #185

Hello and welcome to Colour INKspiration #185. We have such a cute colour palette for this challenge. I thought Easter as the inspiration image shows the gorgeous bunny. The inspiration image was chosen by crew member Vicky Boucher.

I love the Everyday Details Bundle and wanted to use the image of the eggs in the nest for my card. I also decided to create a more rustic look and have teamed the image with some Woodgrain look  Designer Series Paper. 

My card base and mat layer are Crumb Cake card stock. The mat layer was stamped with the spots from the stamp set then I used Crumb Cake ink and a Blending Brush to add colour to the edges of this layer. I glued it on an angle to the card base. I ran the Woodgrain piece of Designer series Paper through the Big Shot using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. before gluing it to the mat layer on an angle as shown. 

I used the die to cut two rows of hole detail on a strip of Fresh Freesia using one of the Everyday Detail dies and glued this to the centre of the card  I let it hang over the edge of the card slightly.

I stamped the nest image in Basic Gray ink on Basic White card stock and coloured using a Water Painter to spread the ink. I coloured the eggs and leaves in using Fresh Freesia, Old Olive and Petal Pink Stampin' Blends and used the Colour Lifter to lift some ink to give dimension to the eggs. I die cut this using a circular die from the Everyday Details Does and adhered it to the top of the Fresh Freesia strip with Dimensionals.

I then stamped three of the floral images from the Teacup in the stamp set in Basic Gray ink on Basic White card stock. I coloured usingFresh Freesia and Old Olive Stampin' Blends. I fussy cut these out close to the stamped edge so as not to show the rest of the image. I adhered these to the bottom of the nest using Dimensionals. 

I stamped the sentiment in Basic Gray ink one Basic White card stock and die cut it using the smallest circle die in the Everyday Details dies. I then adhered the circle to the bottom left of the larger circle die using Dimensionals. I separated a length of Linen Thread into three lengths, then tied these in a bow and glued to the top of the sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you use this colour palette on your next project or play along with the Colour INKspirations Challenges. Have a great week!
