Ink.Stamp.Share Blog Hop - Colour Challenge

Stampin' Up! Nature's Harvest

Welcome to this months Ink. Stamp. Share monthly Blog Hop we our a

group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from all over the world

sharing card making and papercraft ideas and inspiration using

Stampin' Up! Products. Your currently with me Laura Mackie a

Stampin' Up! Demonstrator from the UK.

Each month we host a hop with a theme

and this months theme is a colour challenge

using these Stampin' Up! Colours

How fab do these look together?

I instantly loved the combo and knew I

wanted to use them all! Rich Razzleberry is

my favourite Stampin' Up! colour closely

followed by Polished Pink!!

Here's my card

I started my card by stampin and colouring the flowers,

I stamped it a few times so I had some ready to colour

if i changed my mind!

I stamped the image in memento ink onto

Basic White cardstock using a NEW stamp set

Natures Harvest, I coloured the stem and leaves

with Mint Macaron Light and Dark Stampin' Blends

with Light Soft Sea Foam, and the petals

with Polished Pink Light and Dark

Heres a closer shot of the flowers

I then played around with a few background ideas

and opted for this with the strips of cardstock.

My card base is 5x5 so my strips of cardstock

ended up at around 2cm / 3/4" wide

I kept my card pretty simple, the focus

being those fab colours altogether!!

The sentiment is also from the Natures Harvest Set

and is stamped in Rich Razzleberry onto

Basic White cardstock, which I cut on

my paper trimmer to the size I wanted.

I added a few sparkly faceted gems and

of course a bow tied in Basic White Bakers twine,

to finish my card!

All the products I've used today are listed below,

and our available to purchase via my online store.

I hope our hop inspires you today!

Ink Stamp Share - Showcase Blog Hop

Stampin' Up! Brilliant Wings

Welcome to this months Ink. Stamp. Share monthly Blog Hop we our a

group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from all over the world

sharing card making and papercraft ideas and inspiration using

Stampin' Up! Products. Your currently with me Laura Mackie a

Stampin' Up! Demonstrator from the UK.

Each month we host a hop with a theme

and this months theme is 'Showcase' which

means we get to share with you

what we've been working on

Heres my card:

I saw lots of fellow demonstrators playing with

their Stampin' Blends, Vellum cardstock,

their Heat tool and Isopropranol

and I had held off playing, but loved how fab

the backgrounds looked, so couldnt resist any longer!

Here is the result, this background was created

after I had experimented with just one Stampin' Blend,

which I would recommend playing with One Blend first

before adding two then maybe three!

This background uses Polished Pink - Dark with

Pretty Peacock - Dark Stampin' Blends.

I watched a video on YouTube by Lisa Curcio

who shared a fab video and is well worth

a watch if you would like to give it ago too!

Its so much fun you wont be dissappointed!

Check Lisa's Video out HERE

I kept my card pretty simple

as I wanted the Background I created to be

centre of attention, the Butterfly is die cut

using the Brilliant Wings dies with Basic White

cardstock, my sentiment is heat embossed

in white on Basic black cardstock so

it reallt pops!

Spot the Be Dazzling Speciality paper!

Look at the sparkle its sooo pretty and

really adds a wow to any project!

I LOVE this stuff,

I even punched out the little

tiny circles too.

I hope you enjoy the rest of the hop
