TIME FOR A LITTLE MORE COLOUR INKspiration

Hello and welcome to each and everyone of you who have popped by to see my latest project. I am so very delighted that you have shared your time with me.

This project is for the #CI103 colour challenge.

May be an image of text that says '#103 Bumblebee Pale Papaya Soft Succulent Evening Evergreen COLOUR s SPIRATION CHALLENGES'

I love the rich, tropical colours that are inspired by this image.

Although it is very tropical, I decided to use a stamp set that has no floral or leaf images. I definitely wanted to try something completely different. So, here it is!

I decided to use the new Delivering Cheer Stamp Set from the upcoming Mini Catalogue. There are lots of elements in this card – let me take you through each step.

The first step was to cut and adhere a piece of Silver Foil to a panel of Bumblebee cardstock. Then, it was passed through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the new Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. These layers were then adhered to an Evening Evergreen cardbase.

Using the Delivering Cheer Stamp Set, from the July-December Mini Catalogue, the upper and lower halves of the ‘person’ were stamped and then coloured using Stampin’ Dimensionals – using Evening Evergreen, Pale Papaya and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends. I also used Clear Wink of Stella to add shimmer to the skirt and elements of the gifts.

I fussy cut the skirt section and the gifts section, before adding Stampin’ Dimensionals behind the two elements so that they could be elevated on the card front. The birthday greeting is from the Sweet Ice Cream Stamp Set. It was stamped in Soft Succulent ink and cut using one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies. The greeting also has Dimensionals used to pop it up and tuck it under the Dark Evening Evergreen shoes.

A length each of Evening Evergreen, Pale Papaya and Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon was cut in half lengthwise and with one half of each colour then tied into a bow. This triple ribbon was then attached to the ‘skirt’ using a Mini Glue Dot.

The gift box image was then stamped onto the card insert and envelope. Finally, I added some 2021-2023 In Colour Gems.

I always love the way that I can use current and new products together to create a unique, new project. This card turned out sooooooo much better than I thought it would – doing my happy dance!

What do you think? Do you like the glimmering Soft Succulent skirt? What about the triple bow at the waist? And, the gift boxes?

Who would you send this birthday card to?

I am looking forward to creating more projects using the Delivering Cheer Stamp Set.

Happy stamping.

Because some of the products I have used to make this card are not yet available to customers, I am not able to show them at this time. As soon as product images go live, I will create this section.
