Stamping INKspiration Hop

 

Welcome to our Febrary hop, I'm Rachael from SE Queensland, Australia and I'm so happy to share my project today with you, using the inspiration colours from this months challenge.

I used most of the colours to create this pretty rainbow card. This beautiful combination of Blushing Bride, Fresh Freesia, Polished Pink and Bumblebee screams icecreams on a warm afternoon vibe to me.

 This new stamp set is quickly becoming a favourite!I also used the cloud punch with vellum to create some subtle layering.

Stamping Dreams Hop - Furry friends

Hi and welcome to my blog and our hop featuring the them 'Furry Friends".  This latest mini catalogue has plenty of little critters in it and this one sat uninked until this hop came along.  I've chosen to use the deer, the tree, the rabbit and a few smaller element stamps from the set.

One of the reasons I was drawn to this set was that it is a 'scene-creator' and with 2 grandsons and a young niece, I love this type of card and using the stamps to create a little story.  

I used stampin blends to colour in and the stitched rectangle dies to cut out some of my main sections.  I finished it off with the new brass butterflies, how cute are they!!

Pop over to the other blogs to see more great projects using our theme.

Happy Stamping,

Rachael xx

 

Monochrome Cards - Stamping with Friends theme

Today I am hopping with the Stamping With Friends group and I'm excited to share my card, using the new stamp set and dies  in the Grassy Grove Bundle, found in the new Mini Catalogue.  I've loved this set since I first flipped through the catalogue and have waited a long time for it to get here.

I chose orange as my monochrome colour, adding Pale Papaya and Pumpkin Pie to my blending brushes to create my background and added the deer and grass with Tuxedo Black before layering on the die cut forest.  

I'm really happy with how it turned out. Thanks for popping by my blog, be sure to hop along to the others as well and leave some feedback for everyone.

Happy Stamping,

Rachael xx

Polished Pink and Granny Apple Green make this a vibrant card, perfect for a Valentines or anniversary card.

Colour Inspiration with Crafty Collaborations

 My apologies for posting my project late for anyone who had to come back… 

I love this colour combo, such a pretty palette! This card came together easily using the new stamp set “flowing flowers. 

Not only are the images lovely in this set but also the sentiments… their meaning and their font are perfect for a range of cards to show you care. I chose to combine two of them on my tasteful label. 

I’m really happy with how it all came together and hope I’ve inspired you to use this colour combination with very vanilla, an often overlooked neutral in our cardstock collection. 

Thanks for popping by. Don’t forget to join the hop and leave comments for all the other wonder participants. 

Happy stamping,

Rachael xx
