Colour INKspiration #114




Welcome to the first Colour INKspiration Challenge for 2022!

I hope you enjoyed the festive season and are keeping well.

This challenge we have the most gorgeous beach image chosen by Lou Kitzelman. It is a photo of Mooloolaba Beach in Queensland Australia. Boy doesn't it look so perfect  I would love to be there right now. 

The colours for this challenge are so lovely and I have the new Oceanfront stamp set and set about creating my own beach scene with this fabulous stamp set.




Here is my card for this challenge featuring the new Oceanfront stamp set and the sentiment from the Sale-a-Bration! stamp set Special Moments.



  1. Start with a Coastal Cabana card  base measuring 21cm x 14.8cm scored and folded in half
  2. Cut another piece of Coastal Cabana to measure 9cm x12.5cm
  3. Cut a piece of Basic White card stock to measure 8.5cm x 12cm
  4. On the BASic White piece of card stock stamp the sky in Balmy Blue, The Ocean in Pacific Point and the Pebbles in Sahara Sand
  5. Stamp the Rocks in Sahara Sand  and the Grass in Granny Apple Green then fussy cut them and adhere to the card front using Dimensionals and glue
  6. Glue the stamped layer to the  Coastal Cabana 9cm x12.5cm piece and then pop that layer up with Dimensionals and adhere to the card front
  7. On a small piece of Coastal Cabana, stamp the sentiment in Versamark™ ink, sprinkle with White Embossing Powder and set with the heat tool
  8. Dir cut the sentiment using the banner die from the Tasteful Labels Dies and adhere to the card from using Dimensionals
  9. Place three grey Pebbles Enamel Shapes next to the rock at the base of the card 



I hope you like my card for this challenge as much as I do. The Oceanfront stamp set is so easy to work with and with just a few layered pieces your card comes together.

Many thanks for visiting today. I hope you are able to make some time for creativity this week!

Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop - Sketch Challenge

 



Hello and welcome to the first Stamping Inkspirations  Blog Hop for 2022!! I am so looking forward to be joining the team to bring more creativity to you this year.

The crew have some wonderful inspiration for you this year and we are starting off with a Sketch Challenge for January. A sketch can be a great place to start if you are unsure about what stamp set to use. I looked at the square that is the focal point of this sketch and decided to use the sweet image of a lady sitting on a window ledge from the In The Moment stamp set as the layout would make the stamped and coloured image look great.




Here is my card with the new In The Moment stamp set that is currently available in the January to June Mini Catalogue.



  1. Start with a Misty Moonlight card base measuring 21cm x 14.9cm scored and folded in half
  2. Cut a piece of the Misty Moonlight Pattern Party DSP to measure 10cm x 14.3cm and glue this to the card base
  3. Cut a piece of Misty Moonlight card stock to measure 7cmx 7cm
  4. Cut a piece of Basic white card stock to measure 6.2cm x 6.2cm. Stamp the image in Memento™Tuxedo Black ink and then colour the image in with Stampin' Blends as in products used below. You can also use watercolour pencils. I have coloured the cushions in with Calypso Coral and then put some fun dots on the cushion using the bullet endow the Stampin' Blends
  5. Glue this to the Misty Moonlight card stock measuring 7cmx 7cm on an angle as in the Sketch. Then pop this up on the card front using dimensionals
  6. Cut a piece of the woodgrain In Good Taste DSP into a 10cm x3cm strip then tear along the 10cm side. Glue this to the bottom of the card
  7. Stamp the sentiment in Versamark™ink on a piece of Misty Moonlight card stock. Sprinkle with White embossing Powder and set with the heat tool. Cut down to size and banner ends if you like with paper snips. Use dimensionals to secure to the card front
  8. Tie a length of Linen Thread in a double bow and use a glue dot to adhere to the left side of the sentiment

I love this image of the lady looking out the window especially at the moment as we are all staying at home more often.  I look out the window at my amazing view often throughout the day and feel blessed as I can see trees, mountains and birds as they fly past.  We have an elevated block of land and I love my view. I do ponder when we will be able to travel again and look forward to that time.
