COLOUR INKSPIRATION #102

Hello and welcome. Thanks for popping by to see my latest project.

Today, I’m sharing a project I made for the latest Colour INKspiration Challenge. This is such a great photo of the galahs.

May be an image of bird and text that says '#102 / SPIRATION CHALLENGES Polished Pink Smokey Slate Basic Gray'

The card I made features the Henna Hearts Stamp Set along with the 2021-2023 In Colour Shimmer Vellum.

I started by stamping the heart image using my Stamparatus to space and position them evenly. The panel was trimmed down to fit the card front. The Basic Gray paenl was embossed with the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. Then I used the Painted Texure 3D Embossing Folder to add texture to the Smoky Slate cardstock and Polished Pink Shimmer Vellum. I used the Triple Banner Punch to notch one end of the strip of embossed Gray Granite. These panels were then layered onto the embossed Basic Gray layer.

After the layers were secured, I wrapped and secured some Smoky Slate Textured Ribbon around this piece. Then I adhered this piece to the cardbase. I attached the hearts panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The sentiments are from the Create with Friends Stamp Set. The ‘love’ was fussy cut and the other two words were trimmed. They were each placed on the card front with dimensionals to pop them up.

I’m getting a little better at fussy cutting around words! I like the way all these textured elements look together. Even the heart image appears to have texture.

I was surprised to realise that I haven’t used my Triple Banner Punch in quite a while! It is ever so easy to overlook some of my crafting supplies but always wonderful to ‘rediscover’ them. Do you find you do the same thing?

Happy stamping.

A MIXED BUNCH

Hello and welcome to today’s project share. I’m so pleased that you popped by.

Today I’m using a few different products. I’ve chosen the Quiet Meadow Bundle; Expressions in Ink Specialty Designer Series Paper and 2021-2023 In Colour Shimmer Vellum, Jewels and OPen Weave Ribbon.

You have to love the way the colours coordinate across so many different products. The Pale Papaya and Polished Pink in the DSP allow me to use the coordinating Shimmer Vellum and Open Weave Ribbon.

I stamped the script image on the DSP using the Stamparatus and repositioning the paper between stamping. This was also stamped on the card insert and envelope.

After I cut the Meadows stems I overlapped and adhered them to create a lovely bouquet of meadow flowers. The greeting was stamped and cut. This label die looks great with same Pale Papaya OPen Weave Ribbon looped through it. Some Polished Pink Jewels finish the card.

The Shimmer Vellum is very shimmery – no Clear Wink of Stella for this card.

I like the new background that I’m using for my photos. What do you think?

Who would you send a ‘bunch of flowers’ to? Who are you thinking of?

Happy stamping.

ART IN BLOOM

Hello and welcome to today’s project. Thanks for popping by to check it out.

This is my second project using the Art in Bloom Bundle.

ART IN BLOOM BUNDLE (ENGLISH)

The bundle includes the new Bloom Hybrid Embossing Folder. You can emboss and die cut at the same time – the triple flower die sits in the embossing folder. AMAZING!

I used the Fresh Freesia 2021-2023 In Colour Shimmer Vellum for this card.

I embossed the base layer and adhered it to the front of the card base. Then I embossed and cut the flowers four times – two in the Fresh Freesia Shimmer Vellum and White Vellum. I gave them a gentle scrunch before alternating on top of the base layer flowers.

I embossed some of the Evening Evergreen Shimmery Vellum and fussy cut some of the leaves. Then I cut two of the leaves using the leaf dies. I used some of the Multipurpose Glue to secure the leaves under the flowers. The message was stamped using Evening Evergreen and cut using the banner die from the Bloom Dies. I added some 2021-2023 In Colour Jewels to the card front and then stamped the card insert and envelope also.

The 2021-2023 In Colour Shimmer Vellum is very shimmery – no need for Clear Wink of Stella on this card.

It is always fun to start using new products and this bundle is going to be amazing.

Who would you send this card to? Who makes you happy?

Happy stamping.
