Choose Two....

Hi Everyone,


Over at Just Add Ink they have a new challenge that looked interesting.


I started playing with my stencils, embossing clear, then with gold, then looked over at my card fronts in the Springtime Foils DSP that I had chopped up ready to use.

That's what I went with, abandoning my embossing and stencils.  The foil stripes won!

It needed colour so I though about a bird (feathers) sitting amongst the trees with the sky above.
I grabbed Bermuda Bay, Lemon Lime Twist and Pool Party and started to blend from the edges in starting with Bermuda Bay.


Petal Palette came to mind for the rest of the card.  Black and white images are perfect to add, not distract from, the blended colour I had added to the foil paper.

A quick sentiment - silver embossed on black card tied it all together!



I love how it turned out!

Go onto the Just Add Ink blog and see what others have come up with.

Petal Palette is still available, but you need to be quick!  Jump into my shop now and grab some before it goes!

    This is so pretty, Shirley! I love how you've sponged colour over the foil paper and your black and white details suit this sweet scene so perfectly! Thanks for sharing with us at Just Add Ink this week.

    I just love the way you used your colours to halo the centre Shirley it's such a striking effect! What a great idea to keep your bird and branch black and white, the contrast is wonderful. Thanks for joining us at Just Add Ink 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....

Kylie's Demonstrator training blog hop.

Welcome! 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. What a great way to get ideas on all the amazing new product than with a card swap! Organised by one of the Crazy Crafters, Nicole, we had to create a card front using anything from the new Occasions Catalogue or Sale-a-bration products - those are the freebies you get for every $AU90 you spend - and that is soooo easy to do once you see what's  inside the new catalogue! As the name says, there are new designs for all those upcoming occasions - Valentine's, Easter, Mother's  Day,  and almost anything ...

Crazy Crafters blog hop with Dena Rekow

This week we are hopping with Dena Rekow and using her blog  http:// www.thecreativitycave.com/  as inspiration. I spent so long looking through Dena's blog - not because I couldn't find anything, but because I loved so much! In the end I decided to use this card as my inspiration.  I loved the simplicity and the depth created with the different green ink colours used. And here is the card I created. I used the open leaf from Healing Hugs stamp set and stamped it in the colours  Pineapple Punch, Mango Melody, Poppy Parade and Lemon Lime Twist - such a juicy fruit mix of colours!   I wanted the colours to be uplifting for the sentiment that I used from the Friendly Expressions stamp set.  I embossed the background with the Lovely Floral embossing folder to give added dimension and then mounted the embossed and stamped panels on Pineapple Punch. I cut around the sentiment and layered it with dimensionals. A...
