INKspired Colour Challenge 123 -

 

Hi and welcome to our sunday night hop. Teneale has given us an interesting colour challenge!

Now you may have hopped across from Julie Martin and I can't wait to see what she has done with these colours.

Now they are not my favourite colours combined together but we will see how we go - version 3 is kinda working

I started with Crumbcake as my base card. I then used Pear Pizzaz and ran it through the Greenery Embossing folder. I added a strip of Mossy Meadow to the right edge and then added this then to my crumbcake. Whisper White rectangle was cut out using the Rectangle Stitched Framelits dies and stamped Happy Birthday from the Peaceful Moments Stampset using Memento ink. The leaves were cut from Mossy Meadow as the base and Pear Pizzaz as the top of the leaf.

For the flower I washed Real Red ink over the Shimmery White cardstock and allowed it to dry. I then cut out the base and flower insert from the wash piece. The outline  of the flower was cut from Real Red cardstock.

Thank you for stopping by.

Now it is onto Katrina Healy and I can't wait to see her combination.

Until next time

Happy stamping, stay safe and 
be kind to one another.

INKspired Challenge 120 - Ornate Garden

 

Hi and welcome to our sunday night INKspired blog hop. This week Teneale has us all using the Ornate Garden Speciality Designer Series Paper.

You may have joined my blog from the lovely Allison McLeod and I love seeing what she makes each fortnight.

Started with a main card of Bumblebee cardstock. I then cut Basic Black cardstock and layered two pieces of Ornate Garden DSP to it see below.

I embossed a piece of Bumblebee cardstock with the Ornate Floral 3D embossing folder

and attached it to the bottom of the Basic Black cardstock.

I used one of the small Ornate Layer Dies and cut out a piece of Basic Black.

Stamped Happy Birthday from the Peaceful Moments stampset. I cut this Whisper White cardstock using the Hippo & Friends Dies which are so versatile.

Simple card that shows off the lovely Ornate Garden speciality DSP

Thank you for stopping by. 

Now it is onto Kozue Smith who makes the most amazing cards.

Until next time

Happy stamping, stay safe and 
be kind to one another.

Global Design Project #244 | CASE the Designer - Forever Fern

Love this card that Krista made below and decided to jump on board and join in. Wanted to use the layout for my card and some of the elements that has come from the Global Design Project #GDP244.

I chose to cut away a strip of my whisper white card from the top layer. I am loving the new Forever Greenery designer series paper and it was a hard decision on which side of the strip I would glue down - do you ever find that hard to do? 

I stamped the leaves in the Shaded Spruce and stamped off once for the second set of leaves. I wanted to make the round ones berries so stamped them in Seaside Spray and also cut out some leaves using Vellum cardstock. The Forever Flourishing Dies made it so easy to cut them out.

Stamped the Happy Birthday from Peaceful Moments stampset and cut the black out with the Painted Labels Dies. Added some Pearl Basic Jewels and was finished.

Until next time

Happy stamping

Peaceful Poppies DSP for ANZAC Day

Hello everyone it is saturday the 25th April here in Australia and we are having a very quiet ANZAC Day remembering all our fallen soldiers that never made it home. Social distancing has prevented the celebrations that we usually have across our great country which usually starts with Dawn Services and marches right across the land in every town and city then it is onto the pubs and clubs to share stories and play two up but not this year!

Anzac Day marks the anniversary of the first campaign that led to major casualties for Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War. 

The acronym ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, whose soldiers were known as Anzacs.

 I had made some quick and easy cards with the lovely Peaceful Poppies DSP and the Peaceful Poppies Elements.

You can see below how pretty the Peaceful Poppies DSP is

I used the Poppy Parade cardstock and added a piece of the DSP to the front.

I cut the shape for the words and the black background using the Painted Labels Dies below. 

Aren't these Peaceful Poppies Elments below so quick and easy to use

The words were from the Peaceful Moments stampset

Before I go wanted to share this amazing tribute from the Lindisfarne Anglican Grammer School - so moving

Until next time

Happy stamping
