Inkspirational Photo Challenge

We have a colour photo challenge at Inkspirational for the next two weeks and we would love you to join us!

 

I have used some of the very colourful Watercolor Wonder DSP from the Seasonal Catalogue and I have used the sketch from CAS(E) this sketch challenge.

 

Of course I have added some butterflies and the embossed Designer Frame around the sentiment has been cut using the Ovals Die.  Also I have used my new Banners Framelits Dies.

 

The sentiment is from the retired stamp set Upsy Daisy as set I have kept when it retired.

 

Here is my card:

CAGI on the Side

At Come and Get It This week, Shell is hosting and the challenge this week is to add your focal image to the side of your creation.

 

I have used the current sketch at Try Stampin on Tuesday blog and the colours were inspired by the current challenge at Pals Paper Arts.  I just had to find a stamp.

 

In the end I chose the Swallowtail butterfly stamp which had been sitting there un-ink and layered a section of the image.

 

Here is my take on the sketch:

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Swallowtail, Upsy Daisy
Card: Calypso Coral, Baked Brown Sugar, Very Vanilla
Ink: Calypso Coral, Baked Brown Sugar
Accessories:  Large Oval Punch, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive

Upsy Daisy Challenge

Hi everyone,

 

Just a quick post to share with you a card I have created for the Diva Coffee Break Design Sketch Challenge # 225 & the colour challenge # 39 from ColorLab.

 

Here are the challenges below and you can view the sites if you click on these images.

 

 

The base card is Pumpkin Pie and I have used Very Vanilla as the neutral card stock.

 

I have also rotated the sketch and my card and use the Upsy Daisy stamp set.

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Upsy Daisy

Card: Pumpkin Pie, Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive, Very Vanilla 
Ink: Pumpkin Pie, Rich Razzleberry

Accessories:  3/8” (1 cm) Very Vanilla Taffeta Ribbon, Mat Pack for Paper-Piercing, Square Lattice Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive

 

 

 

Unfortunately I did not have enough room for the sentiment on the front of the card but I will add that on the insert inside the card.

 

A quick card, I like it – if you want to let me know what you think, please leave me a comment.

 

Until next time….. Meg x

Pink Flamingo – Two Step Stamping

Sometimes I find that I cannot decide on what colour combination to use or maybe I just need something new, so I like to use the colours within the Designer Series Papers as an challenge and/or inspiration.

 

The Pink Flamingo Designer Series Paper contains a lot of bright colours that I would not normally use and in each card I have used the paper as the background.

 

The colours within the Pink Flamingo DSP are Chocolate Chip, Real Red, Tempting Turquoise, Summer Sun & Cameo Coral. 

 

In the cards below I have used the retiring colour Cameo Coral and a little bit more two step stamping by using the Wonderful Favourites stamp set.

 

 

Supplies:
Stamp sets: Eastern Bloom, Wonderful Favourites and Upsy Daisy 
Card: Cameo Coral, Real Red, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White
Ink: Real Red, Cameo Coral, Chocolate Chip
Accessories: Scallop Edge, Large Oval & Scallop Oval Punches, Chocolate Chip & Real Red

1/4” Grosgrain Ribbon, Pink Flamingo DSP, Snail Adhesive, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Blender Pens

 

Below is another example using the same DSP inspiration this time with the retiring colours Summer Sun and Cameo Coral.

 

 

Supplies:
Stamp sets: Eastern Bloom, Cottage Garden
Card: Cameo Coral, Tempting Turquoise, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White
Ink: Real Red, Summer Sun, Chocolate Chip
Accessories: Scallop Edge, Wide Oval & Scallop Oval Punches, Pink Flamingo DSP, Snail Adhesive, Stampin’ Dimensionals

 

I hope you have enjoyed looking at my creations and maybe these cards  have given you some inspiration too!

 

Till next time….  Meg
