Here we are with another amazing Colour Inkspiration challenge for you!

I love the colour combination this week. We have Sweet Sugarplum, Lemon Lime Twist, Wild Wasabi and Fresh Fig. I know it has “that” colour in it, but it’s growing on me!!

One of my favourite new sets is the Oh So Eclectic bundle. There’s diamonds, flowers, ok I’ll admit it, you had me at diamonds!! So, of course, I had to use some Dazzling Diamonds glimmer paper at the back. I then stamped and die cut some of the flowers and stems out. And Stella has made an appearance on the die cut flowers. You really can’t have too much sparkle! lol

My sentiment comes from the Happiest of Days stamp set which is fast becoming my favourite birthday stamp set.

I hope you are inspired by this card, please let me know in the comments below.

Next up on the hop is the fabulous Krissy Buck.

Happy Stamping

Isn’t the year just flying past? Can you believe we are in June already and have a new catalogue to play with? There are so many lovely new stamps and goodies in this catalogue.

We have a great challenge this week at Colour Inkspiration, Soft Suede, Chocolate Chip and Marina Mist. Can I just mention that I’m really excited to be following Tanya this week! I’ve admired her work for many years and love the fabulous tutorials that she creates.

As always, my first thought is “what can I do with this?” Seeing as I had my new toys to play with, I went with the Climbing Orchid stamp set and the matching Orchid Builder Framelits. Oh, these are so fun to play with. Once I worked out how to create an orchid (harder than you think!!), I was on my way!!

I cut out two branches from the Seasonal Layers thinlits and trimmed one to make a larger branch. I did attempt to spritz the base layer of Soft Suede but I didn’t want to overdo it and as you can see, it’s very lightly distressed!! Ah well, some things work and some don’t!!

As you can tell, I started a new Stella and it came out very sparkly. You can never have too much sparkle!!

I also used one of the sentiments from the Colorful Seasons which I felt was appropriate. I love this stamp set as it is so versatile.

Next up is the fabulous Nikki Spencer.

We would love you to join in with this challenge and add your entry to our Facebook group, which you can join here.

Colour Inkspiration 9

Posted in 1 3/4" circle punch, Blender pen, Colour INKspiration, Crafting Forever by Rebecca S

It’s amazing how quickly each Colour Inkspiration challenge comes around!!

This next challenge is gorgeous!! Dapper Denim, Cherry Cobbler and Pool Party.

I wanted to play with the new stamp set that I received when I attended the recent Centrestage leadership event at Onstage in Sydney. The Crafting Forever stamp set is the new Angel Policy stamp set but it’s perfect for crafters!!

I added in crumb cake as paint brushes and wooden pins need to be brownish and not red or blue! I did a practice stamp on a piece of paper before committing to cardstock and I was happy with the layout. I cut out one of the pins and popped it onto a dimensional for a bit of extra height.

I usually layer up my sentiments but I decided to stick with a whisper white circle to keep the focus on the brushes.

You don’t have to wait too much longer to get your hands on this stamp set. It will be available from June 1 which is only 22 sleeps away!!

Next up on the hop is the gorgeous Nicole!!

Don’t forget that you can join in with the challenge at our Facebook group.

Happy Stamping
