Hello Everyone,
Today’s card is my design team make for the latest Inspire Create Challenge!
For Challenge #220 we are all making single layer projects!
No dimensionals today! 🤣
You can see the other design team projects and take part in the challenge by clicking below!
I have used the Nature’s Frame stamp set.
A 3-colour rainbow ink blend was created with Calypso Coral, Lemon Lolly and Balmy Blue – all from the Subtlest.
For a blend like this, I start with the yellow across the centre, as this will also create the orange and green bands where the colours overlap.
Some water droplets were added to lift the ink for a bleached look.
Once it was completely dry, the background was stamped in versamark ink and heat embossed with white powder.
A black sentiment from Scalloped Blooms was added and embellished with rhinestones.
Finally, some dots were added with a white gel pen!
I would love to be your demonstrator.

I have not had a chance to use this delightful new punch bundle yet! This set is featured on the cover of the mini catalogue and has proven very popular.
You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial….
The embossing on the background panel adds some detail.
I love the bold contrast of the Pecan Pie but the subtle look using Crumb Cake is lovely too!

Hello Everyone,
Think week I am creating a watercolour background in a really fun way!
The colours I picked out for the video are Coastal Cabana, Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock.
You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial….
Once the background was completely dry, I stamped the leaves with versamark ink and embossed with copper embossing powder.
The panel was layered with Coastal Cabana cardstock and matching embossed sentiment was added.
Here’s another version using Soft Sea Foam, Granny Apple Green and Garden Green!

Hello Everyone,
I’m combining some favourite techniques to make the background for today’s cards… Heat embossing and ink blending!
I started by adding Moody Mauve ink to the top and bottom of the card layer before adding the snowflakes.
Fresh Freesia ink was added to the central portion, revealing white snowflakes.
Blackberry Bliss ink was added to the top and bottom, revealing pink snowflakes.
You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial…
A spritz of water added some extra interest too. Layering on to white cardstock makes the colour pop!
The Scallloped Contour dies fit the sentiment perfectly, and some adhesive sequins finish it off!
The blue combo uses, Boho Blue, Gorgeous Grape and Starry Sky.
I hope you enjoyed this project.

Hello Everyone,
It’s been a while since I did any heat embossing. This idea came about as I have been using a lot of Wild Wheat cardstock as a substitute for gold, so I extended that to copper and silver…
I have used Medley Mix and the coordinating Inked and Tiled punches to create the background panel.
You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial
Here is the original card with Wild Wheat and gold heat embossing.
And finally, I also used copper embossing powder on Copper Clay cardstock.

Today I thought I would show you how you can use the Rays of Light background stamp with the Stamparatus tool.
In this example I used Balmy Blue, Pacific Point, Starry Sky and Night of Navy inks.
You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial….
The Stamparatus made it easy to layer the colours and add the versamark ink!
This sample used Daffodil Delight, Mango Melody, Pumpkin Pie and Cherry Cobbler inks.
Why not try stamping onto patterned paper or an ink blended background?

Welcome to my blog today sharing with you my design team project for the Inspire.Create.Challenges blog!
Our challenge this time is to use this card sketch.
See the other design team creations HERE
I chose to use some ink blending to create the vertical panel.
You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial…..
This colour combo reminds of a sunset on a summer’s evening!
The black layer ties the embossing and sentiment together.
This card takes on a completely different look by using these deeper colours. White embossing would look good too!
