Colour INKspiration Colour Challenge #150

 Hi there, and welcome to my blog.

I just love the Colour INKspiration Colour Challenges, and I had to play along with their 150th Challenge!

Congratulations CI Crew on your #150, and for always inspiring with your beautiful creations.

As you can see the colours are divine, and I have made a last minute creation to share for this auspicious occasion.

I have used all 5 colours creating a treat box, from the NEW 'Nested Treat Boxes' found in the Mini Catalogue. 

The 'Nested Treat Boxes' were assembled.

I adhered 6cm x 6cm panels of 'Garden Walk Designer Series Paper' to the top and front drawer, and the sides are 6cm x 6cm 'Calypso Coral' cardstock embossed with the 'Countryside Blossoms Embossing Folder'.

Decorating with die cut flowers from the 'Paper Florist Dies'.

'For You'

The adorable sentiment is from the 'Just My Type' stamp set; heat embossed with 'White Embossing Powder' onto 'Pretty Peacock' cardstock.

Thankyou for visiting my blog and I hope you enjoyed my take on the delicious colours for the Colour INKspiration Colour Challenge #150?

Creation Station Design Team Blog Hop - Monochromatic

It's the first Sunday in the month of September, which means it's Creation Station Design Team Blog Hop time!

Thankyou for joining me, and you may be here after visiting Yvonne in The Netherlands?, or you have started with me in Australia.

Our theme this month is 'Monochromatic'... get ready for some beautiful monochrome creations, and get hopping with the rest of the amazing Design Team at the bottom of my post.

My project is a little bit of a cheats kinda monochrome card, with a touch of gold.

I have used a card base from the 'A Million Thanks Kit' and have added a Christmas theme using NEW product *'Joy of Noel Bundle' from the about to be revealed Mini Catalogue available 6th September, 2023.

I started out with the 'Mossy Meadow' embossed card base, and added the gold embossed 'Making spirits bright' sentiment.

The 'NOEL' sentiment and holly leaves were stamped with 'Mossy Meadow' ink onto 'Old Olive' cardstock, die cut with coordinating dies. and adhered directly to the card front.

The gold bow made from the 'Simply Elegant Trim' was a lovely finish to the greens used for my clean and simple Christmas card.

Next up is Martin from the UK - get ready for some exceptional & amazing creativity!

Thankyou for visiting, and I hope you enjoyed my creation?

Looking forward to seeing you next month for our October hop. D x

Creation Station Design Team Blog Hop - Ombre Blending

It's the first Sunday in the month of August, which means it's Creation Station Design Team Blog Hop time!

Thankyou for joining me, and you may be here after visiting Martin in the UK?, or you have started with me in Australia.

Our theme this month is 'Ombre Blending'... get ready for some beautiful ombre blending, and get hopping with the rest of the amazing Design Team at the bottom of my post.

*Ombre - is the blending of one colour hue to another, usually moving tints and shades from light to dark.

I have created an ombre panel & die cut flowers using 'Fresh Freesia', 'Bubble Bath' and 'Flirty Flamingo' ink and 'Blending Brushes'.

The leaves are coloured using 'Lemon Lime Twist' and 'Granny Apple Green' ink.

An addition of scoring on the 'Thick Basic White' card front using the 'Simply Scored Scoring Tool'.

I love blending ink with the 'Blending Brushes' - you can achieve a beautiful effect with colours of your choice.

'Hello' 

Heat embossed sentiment from the Online Exclusives 'Tropical Leaf' stamp set, and die cut with a label die from the 'Stylish Shapes Dies'.

I added some dots around the flowers using a 'Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker'.

A little bit of 'Black & White 1/4"Gingham Ribbon' was the perfect finish.

Oh, too cute!

I just adore this little tag! The 'Basic Black' tag completed the look with a bow of 'Black Twine' tying together the gingham ribbon.

Next up is Julie, and I can't wait to see her ombre creation!

Thankyou for visiting, and I hope you enjoyed my creation?

Looking forward to seeing you next month for our September hop. D x
