Don't forget to add your creations to our facebook page here - we can't wait to see what you come up with.

Here is the inspiration swatch:

*'Seasons of Whimsy' is my stamp set of choice, and I coloured my ornament with a Blender Pen and Classic Ink Pads.

 *This host stamp set is only available with Stampin’ Rewards.

I water coloured the 'Shimmery White' cardstock with 'Soft Sky' ink using an 'Aqua Painter' - giving a lovely soft background for my creation.

 

The ornament is sitting atop circle layers of 'Soft Sky', 'Vellum' & 'Whisper White' cardstock, and hangs with some 'Silver Metallic Thread' through the die-cut pine needles.

Thankyou for visiting, and now it's time to visit my friend Patrice to see her gorgeous take for the #CI21 Colour Challenge.

Keep on hopping to find some gorgeous inspiration and beautiful creations from the Colour INKspiration Design Team.

Have a wonderful day. D x

Inspire.Create.Stamping Challenges - Theme Challenge #003

Hello and welcome to my blog! I am Denita, from Australia, and I am a Design Team Member for the Inspire.Create.Stamping Challenges Blog Hop.
We would love for you to join in with our 'Festive Challenge' #003 for this week and you can add your 'Festive' creation to our gallery here.
 

I have a lovely and simple Christmas card for you to CASE, and not a traditional colour in sight. (I was inspired by a card on page 13 of the Holiday Catalogue.)

 

 I love 'Crumb Cake', and I love water colouring! So, I have combined both of my loves for this little creation.

I also love that you can get all your Christmas cards done with this design. Get your cardstock ready; cut it all up for the card base and also a mat to be embossed with the 'Falling Snow TIEF'.

Hint: You can stamp Santa and his sleigh prior to embossing; the stamped image slips in between the snow fall and it's easier this way than stamping after you have embossed the cardstock.

 

I cut up the 'Shimmery White' cardstock ready for the water colouring.

Now, this is the fun bit! Add water to the 'Shimmery White' cardstock using an 'Aqua Painter'. Then add the inks of your choice; I have used 'Lemon Lime Twist' & 'Emerald Envy' from the Classic Stampin' Pads.

 

Once your water colouring is completely dry, stamp your sentiment on top of the ombre colours. I then adhered some 'Basic Black' cardstock backing to my sentiment and used 'Stampin' Dimensionals' to layer it on my finished creation.

 

Thankyou so much for visiting me, and I hope to have inspired you for some Christmas card crafting? Make sure you visit all the Inspire.Create.Stamping Challenge Design Team blogs for more 'Festive' fun.

Have a wonderful day. D x

Beautiful Ride + You're Sublime - Global Design Project Theme Challenge #GDP019

Hello and welcome to my blog. I am playing along with the Global Design Project Theme Challenge #gdp019. This week the Theme is 'LOVE'. The Design Team have some gorgeous creations and there is plenty of time for you to join in too. You can check the Schedule here. 

With Valentine's Day not too far away, my creation is a bit outside the square. I have definitely followed the brief re: Love, but I have another reason for the theme...

My love is the 'Beautiful Ride' Stampset in the Occasions Catalogue alongside my love for the 'You're Sublime' stampset in the Annual Catalogue. (I was cleaning the house and this little combo of the car & caravan popped into my head!) I also love watercolouring with Aquapens, and I love Pool Party. And I also love Stand Up Paddle Boarding - which we have been doing a lot of lately.

I heat embossed the hearts using Versamark and White Embossing Powder. And then I watercoloured; using the the ink from the Classic Stampin' Pads. I smooshed the inkpad and lid together and when you open the lid the ink is sitting in the middle. Using an Aquapen wet down the Watercolour Paper, pick up some colour with your Aquapen and start colouring. I started with the Daffodil Delight, then added Soft Sky blending the two colours together in the top left corner. Adding the Pool Party then Lost Lagoon. Set aside to dry completely or if you are in a hurry you can use your Heat Tool to speed up the drying process.

And on the inside is the lovely sentiment 'Life is a Beautiful Ride' with a layer of Washi Tape from the 'Everyday Chic' Designer Washi Tape. This pattern amongst the Washi Tape reminds me of a print from a car tyre.

Hold on, I had another idea, and this one is a Wedding card...

I stamped the car image onto the 'Hearts' pattern from the 'Everyday Chic' Designer Series Paper. Snipping out the car, I added the highlights of tyres, side mirror, bumper, tail lights and handle using Smoky Slate and the windows in Soft Sky - yes, all fussy cut and adhered. And so is the luggage!

The sentiment is 'Love Bug' but I added an 'S' from one of the other stamps in the set. Being a wedding card, the 'Love Bugs' surrounded by hearts is a perfect finish, and the layer of another pattern from the 'Everyday Chic' Washi Tape is a bunch of kisses.

My 2 boys love to craft and we had a friend over for some crafty fun. I asked each of them; 'What is the first thing you think of when I say the word "Love"?'
My eldest (7) said 'Birds in a tree and a love heart'. Our friend (7) said 'Cupcakes' and my youngest (6) said 'Crocodiles'. And here are their creations with inky fingers and all!

Thankyou for visiting my blog. I hope you had fun looking at my creations? I love reading and replying to your comments, so don't forget to leave me something to read. See you all next week. D x
