Well I’m slowly getting back into the swing of things in regards to creating again. This hopefully will mean I’ll be back into more regular posting again.
I have another Challenge card to share with you. It’s another colour challenge and this time it’s the Inkspiration Colour Challenge #72.
Here are the gorgeous colours provided for this week.
I started to think about this one last night but nothing was flowing so I decided to finish up the latest book I was reading and call it a night. However while I was having my shower this morning I was thinking about the colours and an idea came to me. So after getting some washing done and on the line, I then sat down to create my card and it flowed from there.
Here’s what I ended up with.
I’m really happy how this turned out. It’s a pretty clean and simple looking card but I think that’s why I like it so much. Of course those gorgeous colours have a lot to do with it too…..
So what do you think? Leave me a comment and let me know.
Supplies: Stamp sets: Awash With Flowers, Occasional Quotes (Hostess set) Card: Pear Pizzazz, Not Quite Navy, Whisper White, In Colours Pattern Stack – Peach Parfait Ink: Not Quite Navy, Pear Pizzazz & Peach Parfait Inkpads and Stampin’ Write Markers Accessories: Pear Pizzazz 1/2” Stitched Poly Ribbon, Large Oval Punch, Scallop Oval Punch, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Stamp-a-ma-jig
I’ve added a little bit of stamping to the inside to carry through the card.
I’m having a lovely day today although the weather is not as good today as the beautiful day we had yesterday. I took my middle 2 girls to the movies this morning and saw X-Men: First Class which we all enjoyed and have then come home to create again.
I’ve gone with another challenge for this card I’m going to share with you. This time it’s a colour challenge from Cards & Things Challenges.
Here are the colours for this week’s challenge #81.
I was a little stuck with what to do with these colours but I pulled out my Elements of Style Stamp set, some embossing supplies and my bleach and had a play.
I’m still unsure on this card but the more I look at it the more it’s growing on me.
I’ve stamped and embossed in clear the flower image from Elements of Style onto the Peach Parfait cardstock and then bleached the image using an Aqua Painter filled with bleach. It’s been ages since I’ve played with bleach but Kirsty Brown wowed us at Convention with it so I thought I’d have a go.
I had a lovely day yesterday although I didn’t get as much crafting time as I had hoped. Unfortunately I didn’t realise how low our food supplies were getting and therefore needed to shop. I also relaxed with a movie during the day while my girls were at school and then the youngest 2 had a school disco in the evening.
I know it’s only June but I can’t believe how quick this year has gone so before too long it will be Christmas.
For the month of June I have been asked to be a Guest Designer over on Just Add Ink with this week being my first.
When I received the Sketch for this week’s Just Add Ink Challenge I wasn’t too sure what I was going to create. I was looking through the IB&C to decide on a stamp set, initially thinking of flowers as I always do, but then I decided to turn the sketch upside down and knew it had to be a Christmas card.
Here’s this weeks sketch JAI #70 (the right way up….lol)
And this is what I created.
Supplies: Stamp sets: Tree Trimmings, Snow Swirled Card: Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla, Jolly Holiday DSP Ink: Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive inkpads, Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker Accessories: Big Shot, Scallop Circle die, Circle Scissor Plus & Glass Mat, Basic Jewels – Rhinestones, Old Olive 1/8” Taffeta ribbon, Stamp-a-ma-jig, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Glue Stick.
For the inside of the card I kept with the same layering and just added the Christmas verse.
So there’s my first weeks’ creation. It’s very simple but I’m happy with it. What do you think? Have I inspired you to start some Christmas stamping?
During the month of June I will be a Guest Designer over on Just Add Ink. How cool is that?
I’m so excited and I even get to use this badge for the month.
My first Guest Designer challenge will appear tomorrow morning so pop back then to check out my creation for this week.
It’s also my birthday tomorrow and I’m planning on spending most of the day crafting so with any luck my mojo will be back in full swing and I’ll have lots of creations to start sharing with you again.
