Inspire.Create.Stamping Challenges Blog Hop - Colour Challenge #049

It's Inspire.Create.Stamping Challenges time, and this week we have a 'Colour Challenge'.

We would love for you to join in the fun, 

and you can add your creation to our gallery here.

Colours: Basic Gray, Mango Melody & Pool Party.

You can also use 'Whisper White, 'Black Black', 'Very Vanilla', 'Crumb Cake' & Metallics.

I started out with the elephant stamp from 'Wildly Happy'.
I coloured the images with 'Basic Gray Watercolor Pencils' and blended with a 
'Blender Pen'.

I love the arrow with leaves image from the 

*Host set, 'Believe You Can'.

I stamped each of the colours, and fussy cut the arrows to make a feature.

Thankyou for visiting, and I hope to see your creations in our gallery. Don't forget to check out the Design Teams creations for inspiration.

See you next Challenge. D x

Inspire.Create.Stamping Challenges Blog Hop - Theme Challenge #045

The Inspire.Create.Stamping Challenges Design Team have had a whole lot of fun with our new Theme Challenge; 'Embossing'.
And there is another fun part, where you get to create something with our Theme Challenge, and submit to our Blog Challenge page gallery - click here to enter the gallery.

I have used 3 different forms of 'Embossing' for my creation, and I have also used the NEW 'Free as a Bird Bundle'.

1. 'Heat Embossing' - using 'Embossing Powder' and a 'Heat Tool' to turn stamp images into glossy raised designs.
2. 'Stitched Nested Labels Dies' - create faux stitching and unique die cuts with a quick run through a die-cutting and embossing machine.
3. 'Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder' - place cardstock in the embossing folder, and run it through a die-cutting and embossing machine and the cardstock is transformed with a textured design.

Prepare the 'Sahara Sand' cardstock with an 'Embossing Buddy', to prevent extra powder sticking to your project.

I stamped the birds on a branch image onto the cardstock using the 'Versamark Pad', 
then covered the image with 'White Stampin' Emboss Powder.

Grab your 'Heat Tool' and watch the powder melt to form a glossy raised design ready to colour.

I coloured the birds with a 'Blender Pen', and a combination of 'Crumb Cake', Soft Suede' & 'Early Espresso' ink. The tummy is coloured with 'Seaside Spray' and I daubed a touch of 'Coastal Cabana' on top.
The flowers are a combination of 'Flirty Flamingo' & 'Melon Mambo' ink, and the leaves are 'Old Olive' & 'Soft Suede' ink.

I heat embossed the 'White Stampin' Emboss Powder' onto 'Basic Black' cardstock for the sentiment, and used 'Paper Snips' to cut the sentiment.
The 'Magnolia Ribbon Combo Pack' is just beautiful, and it looks lovely featured with my little birds.

Thankyou for visiting my blog, and I hope to have inspired you with my 'Embossing' creation?
See you for the next Challenge. D x

I have a couple of NEW products to show you, and they will become available June 3rd, 2019 with the Annual Catalogue.
