COLOUR INKSPIRATION CHALLENGE #144

I am so pleased that I am back on schedule with my project for this challenge (and the next one!). I have been late for the last few and have even missed a couple.

This challenge is a sweet treat! Chilled layers of tasty ice cream is always a great INKspiration.

With ice creamproviding the inspiration I knew that I had to use the Shake a Milkshake stamp set. I would have used the dies as well but I cannot find them. How is it possible to misplace a full set of dies?

Here is the sweet card I made – five sweet ice cream cups.

Each of the five dessert cups were stamped in Azure Afternoon. These were then cut using one of the Nested Essentials Dies.

Then I stamped the Bubble Bath, Crushed Curry, Lemon Lolly and Parakeet Party ice cream onto Basic White cardstock. The central ice cream was stamped in Versamark onto Bubble Bath card and heat embossed in white. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop the ice cream up and over the dessert cup.

Four of the ice cream panels were adhered directly onto the Bubble Bath matte layer. The Lemon Lolly panel was placed diagonally on the card front, with Stampin’ Dimensionals to give it height.

The sentiment was stamped directly on the card front before I added some of the Opaque Ovals embellishments to finish the card.

Now it is time to try and find my missing Milkshake Dies – again!

Until next time, happy stamping.

CATCHING UP WITH COLOUR INKSPIRATION #CI143

My last post was a month ago – I know, where has the time gone and why have I been so inconsistent.

In that time, I totally missed posting my #CI142 creation.

The colours for the latest challenge are the new 2023-2025 In Colours.

May be an image of boots and text that says 'Copper Clay #143 COLOUR e NKSPIRATION CHALLENGES In Wild Wheat Boho Blue the of 3 least at Moody Mauve hoos Pebbled Path'

It will be interesting to see how many use all the new In Colours in their challenge projects.

Here is my contribution.

I was inspired by Patty Bennett’s cards showcasing thumbnail images of her father’s watercolour paintings. His paintings are so stunning. It is no wonder that Patty is as talented as she is – apple/tree!

Stampin Up! crafting with you easel cards featuring watercolor paintings by Jim Burns. Cards by Patty Bennett

For my card, I chose a small panel from one of the designer papers from the Fresh as a Daisy 12″x 12″ DSP bundle.

The easel was stamped and die cut. Then I cut the ‘canvas’ in half to accommodate the larger DSP image.

I used a sharp cutting tool to create slits in the easel to ‘hold’ the ‘canvas’ image.

I used trimmmed half a sheet of Copper Clay for the card base.

A panel of Boho Blue cardstock was given texture by using the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder.

I used my Stamparatus to stamp the paint brushes evenly down a strip of Basic White cardstock. The brushes were coloured in the new In Colours.

The paintbrush strip, easel and sentiment panel were all attached to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

To finish the card, I ties a bow using the Boho Blue Jute Trim and some of the coordinating 2023-2025 In Colour Dots.

The card insert and envelope each have the paint brushes stamped in Pebbled Path.

I am so pleased that I have caught up with my Colour INKspiration challenge post – NOW, it’s time to make sure that the next one is added within the deadlines.

My next challenge is to start participating in the GDP challenges again.

Until then, happy stamping.

COLOUR INKSPIRATION #141

I have had my card made and sitting on my desk for over a week and I still managed to post it a day late. Here I was thinking 2023 would be my year to get back on track – seems like it’s still a work in progress.

The colours for this challenge are so rich and elegant but you get to choose the 4th colour.

To get your creative ideas flowing, make sure you check out the Crew’s Project in the CI#141 Album – https://www.facebook.com/media/set/…

May be art of furniture and text that says '#141 Very Vanilla Gold Basic Black 1 retiring 2021-23 In Color COLOUR COLOUR SPIRATION CHALLENGES'

The retiring 2021 – 2023 In Colour I chose was Evening Evergreen.

I kept the colours rich and elegant and selected the Seaside Bay Bundle to fit in with that.

The On Line Exclusive Basic 3D Embossing Folders has three different designs. I used the top left hand design to emboss a panel of Evening Evergreen card.

The Distressed Gold Specialty Paper was perfect for this card. I used StazOn to stamp the greeting.

The gold pearl shell stamped using Versamark and then I heat set the Gold Metallic Embossing Power. For the Basic Black and Evening Evergreen shells, I stamped the image onto Very Vanilla card and then stamped the image again in Versamark. Clear Embossing Powder was then heat set on each to achieve the same glossy appearance.

Sadly, the Stamparatus is retiring soon. I will be keeping mine because it is so handy!

I used it as well for the central shell becuase I wanted to stamp the image on my Silicon Mat to reverse the image.

The three pearls were cut from a piece of Pearlescent Specialty Paper.

After all the paper and image elements were layered on the card front, I popped a green and black stitched rectangle behind the greeting layer that had three looks of gold twine secured behind it.
