Creative Colour Challenges - #127

 Good Evening Everyone,

As you may or may not know - I run the Creative Colour Challenges blog. Each week three Stampin Up Colours are randomly selected and I ask you to create a projects using those colours! Some week's are easier than others - but what I do find is that there's a lot of inspiration given from those who participate, so I thought that on a Sunday, once I have announced the Winner of the Week's Challenge over on Creative Colour Challenges Blog, I'd hop on over here and share the entries with you in the hope that we can give everyone some more inspiration, and I will link to those I can (as anyone can enter, you don't have to have a blog or a website), so It's also my chance to share there work and show some support.

I do hope to continue this as long as possible, with the entry numbers as they are now, this is something I'm happy to work on, but if by some amazing force,  the numbers grow in strength I may have to reassess how I do this!

Botanical Layers Thank You Card. The Project Share Project Blog Hop. February 2024

 Good Morning Everyone.

Happy Saturday and as it;s the first Saturday of a new month we have our Project Share Blog Hop. The theme for this hop is 'Inspired by Nature'. 

I've been using quite a lot of floral images recently, so for this theme I decided to go with a lot of leaves and some earthy tones! The Botanical Layers stamp set was perfect, and the Bough punch helped add some extra detail.

What do you think?

------------------------------------------------------

Take the Pecan Pie Card Stock and fold along the score line to create your card base, adding one of the Basic White pieces to the inside.

Using the 2" circle punch cut out a circle of Basic White. Position this in the centre of the remaining piece of card stock and adhere down with a tiny bit of seal. I take my finger over it a bit once its down to remove some of the 'stick' and you will want to remove the circle once you have stamped. There is repositionable and temporary adhesive you can get, but this method works fine for me.

Once the circle is in place, ink up leaf images from Botanical Layers and go around the circle in the different colours. I used Mossy Meadow, Garden Green, Copper Clay and Pecan Pie along with first and 2nd Generation stamping (stamping off) to get a variety for shades. 

When you are happy with the pattern remove the circle in the centre and discard.

Cut out a circle in Pecan Pie Using the 2 3/8" circle punch and one in Basic white using the 2" punch. Stamp the sentiment in Mossy Meadow ink in the centre of the Basic White circle. Layer these two together and add to the centre of the card covering up the stamped edges.

Punch of some of the sprigs using your Bough punch and some scraps of Mossy Meadow, Garden Green, Copper Clay & Pecan Pie, then add a few around the circle, tucking the ends under the centre panel.

I hope you have enjoyed my card today. Please take a few minutes to continue through the hop to get lots more inspiration Inspired By Nature.

Darling Details Happy Birthday Card. Monochromatic Insta Hop

 Good Evening Everyone.

Today I we have another installment of our Monochromatic Insta Hop and this week our colour of focus is Pebbled Path. I absolutely love this colour, it's a brilliant Neutral and works so well with a lot of other colours, but today I'm showing how awesome it looks just on it's own!

I've used the Darling Details stamp set to create a background, then the same image for a focal flower adding a small amount of Silver Simply Elegant Trim to add a little shine.

Measurements

Pebbled Path Card Stock

1pc - 4 1/8" x 3 7/8"

1pc - 3 3/8" x 2 5/8"

Basic White Card Stock

2pc - 3 3/4" x 5 1/2"

1pc - 2 1/2" x 3 1/4"

1pc - scrap

-----------------------------------------------------

Take the Pebbled Path Card Stock and fold along the score line to create your card base, adding one of the Basic White pieces to the inside.

Ink up the flower outline stamp and cover the remaining larger piece of basic White, then go in with the solid in fill stamp and 'colour' them in using 2nd Generation stamping (stamped off onto scrap paper once).

Stamp this image towards the top of the smaller piece of Basic White. Also stamp this image onto a scrap of basic white - pop to one side for later.

Ink up the outline leaf pattern and stamp close to the flower. It doesn't matter if you end up overlapping - as the flower head will be covered.

Stamp the sentiment below the flower.

Layer this to the Pebbled Path card stock. Wrap the silver thread around this panel a few times and secure on the back. Pop this panel into the centre of the card front with dimensionals.

Bring back the scrap flower and fussy cut, then with a dimensional adhere it directly above the stamped image on the sentiment piece, making sure you line it up well and that you cover any overlapping leaves.

Bring back the scrap image and fussy cut. Then with a dimensional, add it directly over the same shape on the card front.

I hope you have enjoyed my card today - I loved creating it. Please, if you have a few minutes, pop on over to Instagram and check out the rest of the participants using Pebbled Path as their focus colour today - www.instagram.com
