Colour INKspiration challenge #CI06

Never entered a challenge before!!!

 This was something new for me, but I thought I would give it a go.
The colours set for us from Colour INKspiration  were :

Calypso Coral
Bermuda Bay
Night of Navy
Gold foil

I was inspired by these colours  - don't they look so exotic, so fun???!!

My mind went into overdrive with ideas.

Some worked, some didn't!

I tried the "smoosh" technique, where I pressed my card against the inks that have been watered down on a block.  Uh-ah, no, that didn't come out too good.  Ended up with a, sort of, brown mess.

I knew I wanted to use the Delicate Details stamp set  in the gold or the sentiment in gold.  I have limited Stampin' Up sentiments but enough to make this work, I thought.

I ended up with two very different cards - and I love them both!!

My first card using the Delicate Details with some paper roses to finish it off.

 

 The second is using the Falling flowers stamp set and May Flowers framelits


See!  Two so different.  Just shows where your ideas can take you sometimes!

 So I posted them on the challenge site and I hope they like them as much as I do!

Crazy Crafters Blog Hop with Wendy Cranford

Welcome! This week we have another exciting blog hop with Wendy Cranford from Luvinstampin.com. I really enjoyed looking through her blog finding a project that I was going to CASE (copy and selectively edit). The project I chose was this one: I was taken with the colour blending and the use of the die cut over it. I decided to use a watercolour wash for my colour blending.  I used Night of Navy, Bermuda Bay, and Soft Sea Foam.   The beautiful die cut is from the Lovely Flowers edgelits, which I put over the top allowing some of the watercolour wash to peek through. I finished it off with some Bermuda Bay ribbon and a sentiment form the Incredible Like You stamp set.  I love these colours but just think how many other colourways you could do this card! Give it a try! But before you do, hop on over to the next blog and see what my fellow Crazy Crafters have designed this week.

Kylie's Demonstrator training February Blog Hop.

Thank you for joining us for our Demonstrator Training Blog Hop this month! We are all part of a training program that has the sole purpose of improving our Stampin' Up!® businesses and to learn from a variety of top Stampin' Up!® Demonstrators from around the world. Please be sure to 'HOP' all of the way around to all of the projects on this Blog Hop, there is a list at the bottom of the page that will help you to make your way around. Today I wanted to challenge myself to try something a  bit different by showing the versatility of any stamp set - even if it only has a few images - and do three cards  with either different techniques or use the stamp in a different way.  Maybe even look at the stamps in the set and see what else I can do with them. I thought this would be a good way to show someone, that may be interested in a particular set, or trying to decide, or thinking a particular set didn't do very much, to think again and see the possibilities....
