CTC #521 - CASE The Colours of Florals In Bloom DSP

Welcome to another week at CASEing the Catty Sunday Blog Hop, where utilise the projects within the current Stampin' Up! catalogue to inspire our own projects each week. We also invite you to join with us in the challenge each week by using this inspiration in your own creations and uploading a photo to our Facebook page.

This week we are taking inspiration from the colours of the Florals in Bloom DSP, Strawberry Slush, Timid Tiger, Darling Duckling, Summer Splash, Secret Sea, and Petunia Pop.

Here are the colours on their own, aren't they bright and summery?

As usual when faced with a colour challenge I got out my six ink pads and started to play around with how the colours might go together.  I decided use water colouring to colour my flower pieces, stamping first in Saddle Brown Stazon, which gives a much more natural finish for organic images compared to the black Stazon.  I paired Strawberry Slush and Petunia Pop; and then Timid Tiger and Darling Duckling to colour the two flowers, and Summer Splash and Darling Duckling on the leaves. The background frame is using a die from the Impressions Abloom bundle embossed with Pressed Flowers Embossing folder all from the Floral Impressions Suite Collection.  I added some Summer Splash to the raised florals with my Stampin' Brayer to make them pop.

  

I hope you are inspired to join in the challenge this week, just use the colours of the Florals in Bloom DSP to inspire your creativity, then post a picture of your project to the CTC Facebook page.

  

Time to hop on over and see what the talented  Rochelle has created this week.

Happy Stamping
