CI #30 - Pretty Pebbles

Welcome to Colour INKspiration Blog Hop.  Just a quick post from me as the blog hop has gone live and with it being my birthday I totally forgot to come back and write my post ... so just a few words ...

I love this inspiration photo and the beautiful colours within it:

• Soft Sky
• Cherry Cobbler
• Fresh Fig
• Island Indigo 
• Pumpkin Pie

I decided to use the Petal Passion DSP and colour the white flowers with some of the red based colours from the challenge.  I cut the lattice piece from the DSP to let the Soft Sky layer peek through before adding an Island Indigo lattice piece back in.  

  

I hope you are inspired to join in with this great combo, just add a picture of your project using these colours to the CI Facebook Page.

  

Time to hop on over to Lou's blog to see what she has created this week.

Happy Stamping

CTC #171 - Final SAB CASE

Welcome to another week at CASEing the Catty Sunday Blog Hop, where we take inspiration from the beautiful samples in one of the current Stampin' Up! catalogues to create our project for the week. 

Can you believe this is our last week of looking at the Sale-A-Bration (SAB), as SAB will end on 31 March!  So if there is anything from the current offering, don't hesitate to contact myself, or your own demonstrator to place your order.

For this final challenge I took inspiration from the first release SAB catalogue and this lovely card featured on page 7.  

I had a play around with the emboss resist techinque, but then remembered the lovely SAB Springtime Foils DSP and decided to use that instead.  I used my Ivory Stampin' Blends to colour the background and changed decided the sentiment from Picture Perfect Birthday looked better with a portrait orientation.  I also switched from Berry Burst in the original (I think) to Rich Razzleberry on my version of the card. The flourish and flowers are cut using the aptly named Flourish Thinlits.

  

I hope you are inspired to join in the challenge this week, just take inspriation from one of the SAB catalogues and use it as the basis of your project, then upload a picture to the CTC Facebook Page. 

  

Time to hop on over to see what Kelly has been inspired to create this week.

CTC #170 - Tutti Fruitti

Welcome to another week at CASEing the Catty Sunday Blog Hop, where we take inspiration from one of the current Stampin' Up! catalogues and create a project.

This week we are looking at the projects in the Tutti Fruitti section of the Occasions Catalogue, pages 28 - 35.

 I was inspired by the Easter card on the top right from page 30 of the Occasions Catalogue.

I did an almost direct receration, and will appologise for the quality of the photograph, I just couldn't get the lighting right today.  I used one of the beautiful stamps from Butterfly Basics, a set that hasn't seen ink for some time.  I stamped in Old Olive and coloured using Old Olive and Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends. The background panel was created by sponging Old Olive over the Springtime Foils DSP that I earned free from the Sale-A-Bration collection.

  

I hope you are inspired to join in with us this week, just upload a picture of your creation to the CTC Facebook Page. 

  

Time to hop on over and see what Julia has created this week.
