Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop - Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge





Hello and welcome to the Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop for July.

Each month a wonderful group of creatives get together to share projects with a theme. Below is an image of the crew and where we live around the world.





This month was are creating using Tic-Tac-Toe whilst CASeing one of our fellow team members. We are CASeing the amazing Aurélie Fabre.




I started my project by selecting the Suite I wanted to use.  The Painterly Pears suite had just arrived and I was eager to use it. 

 I perused Aurélies' amazing work and found the image below. It was the perfect project for this CASe. 
Don't you love her stunning card!

I went with Metallic, Line and Bright from the image above.




My card base and matt layer are Basic White card stock. I used Darling Duckling ink and a Blending Brush to create colour behind the die cut pieces on the matt layer. I adhered this to the card base using glue.



I die cut three pears, their stems and three of the pink flower sprays. I die cut some of the small flowers in Basic White card stock and some leaves in Mossy Meadow card stock. I arranged them on the card front and used glue to adhere to the matt layer.




The sentiment was Heat Embossed in White on Mossy Meadow card stock and cut out using the die from the bundle. A length of the beautiful Mossy Meadow & Gold ribbon was cut to go under the sentiment and adhered to the bottom right using Dimensionals. The final touch was adhering six of the Old Olive Sparkle Dots around the central image.

Colour INKspiration #191



Hello and welcome to Colour INKspiration #191!

We have another gorgeous colour challenge for you this time. Such beautiful and vibrant colours.

This beautiful image was chosen by crew member Nicole Wilson.

I wanted to honour the vibrancy of the bright colours rather than tone them down as I am known to do.  The Charming Day rose was perfect for this colour challenge. I truly love colouring this beautiful image.




My card base is Basic White as is the matt layer. I spritzed the matt layer with Blackberry Blitz ink from the Blend. I added a strip of the blackberry Bliss Designer Series Paper  to the left hand side of the matt layer and adhered it with glue. The matt layer was adhered to the card base using Dimensionals.
.



I stamped the floral image in Memento™ Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White card stock and coloured the flower in using the Berry Burst and Blackberry Bliss Stampin' Blends. Then the leaves using Lemon Lime Twist and Granny Apple Green Blends. I then die cut this piece and some leaves in Basic White to place around the blooms. 

I die cut a rectangle in Basic White using one of the Textured Notes Dies. I adhered the rectangle to the front of the card base using Dimensionals. Then arranged the leaves and bloom on top adhering with Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment in Blackberry Bliss ink on Basic White card stock trimmed and adhered to the bottom of the bloom using Dimensionals. Three Berry Burst Shimmer Faceted Dots were placed around the bloom and the final touch, a small double bow in white twine adhered to the bottom left of the floral layers.

I really love this suite and look forward to using it often. I am such a flower person and you cannot go wrong with roses.

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you will join us for this fun colour challenge!
