Inspire Create Challenge #180 – Colour Challenge!

Hello Everyone,

Today’s card is made for the latest Inspire Create Challenge Design Team!

For Challenge #180 we are using a colour challenge for all our projects!

You can see the other design team projects and take part in the challenge by clicking below!

Whilst the greys are sombre colours that lend themselves to sympathy cards, they can still make something beautiful.

I’ve worked with four shades today, this sample uses the warmer Gray Granite and Pebbled Path. You can see the difference in the look with cool shades Basic Grey and Smoky Slate below.

I chose to work with the Layers of Beauty decorative masks.

The large image was die cut and added to complementary card bases and layered panels. The bright white was knocked back with the residual ink on my blending brush.

The sentiment was cut with a die or punch with a touch of ribbon behind and finished with some grey pearls.

I would love to be your demonstrator.

Project Share Project Blog Hop – September 2024 – Embossing!

Good Morning Everybody,

Welcome to this month’s Project Share Project blog hop. Our theme this month is Embossing!

See the other projects by using the links below, or use the “Next” button at the bottom of this post!

Heather Forgan – Stamp With Nellie

Victoria Littlewood – Vickie Lou Designs

Jayne Frank – Craft with Jayne

I’ve been experimenting with variations of the Joseph’s Coat technique.

For this one, I used pinks and purples to colour the some Basic White cardstock.

The flowers from the Labelled with Love stamp set wre used to stamp over the background with versamark ink. These were then heat embossed with clear powder.

Berry Burst ink was added over the top of the embossing allowing the background colours to show through.

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial…

This version is more traditional, in that it uses black ink to create the resist. The background was coloured with subtles inks.

And for these….

I used the brights inks with the butterflies, and added Night of Navy.

For something completely different, I went for an ombre background of Coastal Cabana, Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock!

I hope you enjoyed this project.

First Christmas Card for 2024!

Hello Everyone,

So here it is, the first Christmas card of 2024. This one is very simple though, using some festive colours with the layout.

I used the Perennial Postage dies to cut a panel, which I blended with some Poppy Parade ink. I probably should have added more than I did… It looks a bit pink!

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial….

Layers of Basic White and Gold Foil were added before wrapping some metallic trim. The panel was then added to Shaded Spruce card base.

I used the online exclusive Greetings of the Season stamp set to create the sentiment, which I cut out with the Modern Oval punch.

This version uses Bubble Bath, Soft Seafoam and Smoky Slate which turned out much prettier, in my opinion.
