I was inspired by the Christmas Theme, the colours and seeing it is July, why not Celebrate 'Christmas in July?'

*Being our Winter in Australia.

'Gnome for the Holidays'

I just had to add this gorgeous little guy onto a Christmas card. 

In July. It's Winter in the Southern Hemisphere after all. 

The Holiday Catalogue is on it's way and you can order all of these lovlies in August. A couple of days away.

Stamping Sunday Blog Hop - Forever Greenery Suite

Hello, and welcome to my blog.

The Stamping Sunday Design Team have created some beautiful items for you using the 'Forever Greenery Suite'.

You are visiting me in Australia, if you have hopped to me from the amazing Yvonne, from The Netherlands.

I have created Beginner, Casual & Avid creations.

However, there is no green to be seen!

Petal Pink, Blushing Bride, Flirty Flamingo, Melon Mambo & Poppy Parade are the pinks I inked.

Beginner Crafter:
I started out with notecards 7cm x 14cm - scored & folded at 7cm (6 notecards from 1 sheet of A4 cardstock) or 2-3/4" x 5-1/2" - scored & folded at 2-3/4", and the 'Stampartus' to stamp a single leaf image.
The sentiment was added afterward, and the single 'Hello' was the easiest to stamp.
(The other sentiments have been added using a 'Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker' - only colouring the word required from those particular sentiments within the stamp set.)

Casual Crafter:
I stamped the sentiment into the middle of the 'Whisper White' cardstock card front.
I stamped the leaf image randomly around the sentiment, on all 5 coloured inks.

I added little dots using a 'Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker' before adhering to a 'Basic Black' cardstock card base.

Avid Crafter:
Sticking with the 'Stampartus', I stamped the middle leaf image using 'Flirty Flamingo' ink into the middle of the 'Whisper White' cardstock card front. 
Moving the cardstock every 2.5cm, or 1", to stamp the other images to the right and left of the middle leaf.

Details: 
The sentiment has been heat embossed with 'White Stampin' Emboss Powder' onto 'Basic Black' cardstock, and popped up with 'Stampin' Dimensionals'.
The black thread & bow is 'Linen Thread ' coloured with 'Dark Basic Black Stampin' Blends Marker'.
I coloured the Pearls using 'Dark Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Blends Marker'.
And a few dots added here & there using a 'Basic Black Stampin'Write Marker'.

Imagine the colour combos you can come up with using my creations as your starting point!
Let me know if you CASE me, as that would totally make my day.
Thankyou so much for visiting my blog, and treat yourself and visit our Design Team for more inspiration using the 'Forever Greenery Suite'. 
Next up is Tammy with her delightful projects.
Stay safe, and see you next time. D x

Colour INKspiration #CI82

Hello, and welcome to my blog.

The Colour INKspiration Crew have a new Colour Challenge, 

and we hope you can join in the fun?

This Challenge runs for 3 weeks, finishing up Monday 10th July @ 7pm AEST.

You can add your project to our fb page gallery here, and you might be a Guest Designer for us for a future Challenge.

Just Jade, Melon Mambo, Whisper White & Basic Black.

Metallics can be used as well.

 I have made a very bold and striking B&W card with lovely hints of 'Just Jade' & 
'Magenta Madness' with the tropical die-cut flowers.

 I have heat embossed the sentiment using 'White Stampin' Emboss Powder' onto 'Basic Black' cardstock, adding 'Stampin' Dimensionals to the back to give a lift off the card front.

I have used the retired 'Golden Honey Specialty Designer Series Paper' 
for the B&W striped card front.
You can recreate the stripes using 'Basic Black' & 'Whisper White' cardstock strips.

Thankyou for visiting my blog, and I hope you are inspired to create something for our gallery? The Crew have some gorgeous creations to help your inspiration too.
See you next Challenge. D x
