This is the first time I have inked up this Sale-A-Bration 2-step 10 piece photopolymer stamp set, Avant Garden for this week's CASE-ing the Catty #CTC113 featuring pages 4-7 in the promotional brochure.

You maybe starting here so welcome or you may have come from Kelly Kent and her card is amazing for a special birthday using the Carried Away Designer Series Paper.

I have CASEd the card to the left for my Card Class yesterday, changing the colours to three shades of pink - Rose Red, Sweet Sugarplum and Pink Pirouette and increasing the card to have six of the gorgeous flowers with Soft Suede stamens.

I have used the Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper to highlight the sentiment banner and then with a scattering of pearls and a beautiful bow in the Blushing Bride Solid Baker's Twine.

Cardstock: Pink Pirouette, Rose Red, Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Glitter Paper

Colour INKspiration Suite Sentiments - #CI01

It's finally here the first Colour INKspiration Challenge.  I can not believe how many entries the Facebook group received for our Pre-Challenge.

The Crew is a team of talented Australian and New Zealand Stampin' Up! Demonstrators that create projects based on Pinterest inspired colour swatches and I am so happy to be included in this wonderful inspiring group of demonstrators.

I have taken inspiration from the image as well as using the six colours this week, by creating an oldie but a goodie - an ice block card including a wooden stick.

I made the card measuring 4 1/8" x 3 1/2" in Peakaboo Peach and I have used the Envelope Punch Board to corner the edges, then sponged them and created more of a dimension with some sponging in the four corners.  I then took the Stampin' Write Markers and used the direct ink to the stamp in the individual colours for the sentiment and then layered circles colour to make it pop.

Stamp Set:  Suite Sentiments
Cardstock:  Peakaboo Peach, Tempting Turquoise, Sweetsugar Plum, Whisper White
Ink:  Blushing Bride, Tempting Turquoise, So Saffron, Mint Macaron, Sweetsugar Plum, Peakaboo Peach
Accessories: 1 3/8" Circle Punch, 2" Circle Punch, Envelope Punch Board, Ice Block Stick

It's now time to hop to Bronwyn Eastley the creator of this amazing new Colour Challenge Facebook Group.
