Colour INKspiration Creative Challenge #06

Welcome back crafters

#Thatsthetag #Loveyourmum #motherslove #KOCreationscards #Inspiredbylove #Thankyou #ColourINKspiration #CI06 #Butterflies

I am loving life right now :)...

I was chosen to be a guest designer for Colour INKspiration... 

A wonderful Facebook group that get together once a fortnight and work on a new colour swatch for us. 

They then blog their creativity in a hop to inspire our creativity with.

And I am part of the hop!! Whoot Whoot :D

HAPPY DANCE ME lol
Such an honour to be part of this.
Thank you Bronwyn x

Here is the colour swatch for this fortnight.

Night of Navy, Pool Party, Calypso Coral and Gold Foil

How fabulous are those colours, right!

My Mum does a fair bit for me, as Mums tend to do. She is my number one fan!

My Mum supports my creative habit, attends all of my classes that I teach and helps me with the kids when needed too.

So, to let her know how much she is appreciated, I have made her a little gift using the colours above...I am going to fill the bag with chocolates :) she loves choccies.

It doesn't have to be mothers day to let your Mum know how much you love her, does it? 

No!

This was the perfect opportunity for me to try out the 'That's the Tag' bundle and the 'Gift Bag' Punch Board.

Here are my projects.

Timeless Tags

For my Mum

#Thatsthetag #Loveyourmum #motherslove #KOCreationscards #Inspiredbylove #Thankyou #ColourINKspiration #CI06 #Butterflies

I used 1 sheet of  'By The Shore' DSP. The Calypso Coral dots in lines was my chosen pattern. 

This was just perfect to make my Gift Bag from and then try to build up the other colours with my tag and corresponding layers.

#Thatsthetag #Loveyourmum #motherslove #KOCreationscards #Inspiredbylove #Thankyou #ColourINKspiration #CI06 #Butterflies

For the tags on both projects, I used Gold Foil for the backing. 

I used Night of Navy for the front of the tag, with the butterfly cut out. This enabled the gold foil to peep though nicely.
I tied both both the gold and night of navy tags together with metallic gold thread, so they could swing loosley and apart from each other too.

I added a gold embossed calypso coral flower with a gold metallic shape to carry those colours through a little more.

To add the Pool Party colour in the mix I added a banner behind the tags with a bow, just below the gold binder clips which hold everything in place..

 Did you notice the little butterflies on the card???
They were the waste from the cut out on the tag!...I hate to throw things away and I feel it adds a bit of depth to the card as well as adding another interest point :)

Happy Happenings - Colour INKspiration

Welcome back Crafters.

#Engagement #Love #Shabbychic #KOCreationscards #Handmade #Giftsfromtheheart #Madewithlove #Inspiredbylove #Bestbirds #Happyhappening

My family and myself have been invited to attend an engagement party in around 2 weeks time.

The lovely couple have asked for no gifts! So I found myself in need of a really nice card! 

I know the couple quite well and their style, it is very shabby chic...

I LOVE Shabby Chic...... anyone else!?!

I saw the colours from Colour INKpsiration's creative challenge #CI05 this week and thought it would be a perfect fit to create their engagment card with!
And of course, I made another card at the same time using the same colour scheme.

In case you can't see the text the colours this fortnight are Blushing Bride, Soft Sky and Sahara Sand.

If you would like to join in for this challenge then please click HERE to join the group and become part of the fun :)

Here are my cards

HAPPY HAPPENINGS

#Engagement #Love #Shabbychic #KOCreationscards #Handmade #Giftsfromtheheart #Madewithlove #Inspiredbylove #Bestbirds #Happyhappening

What do you think? 

The one on the left is for the engagement.

I wasn't sure about my back ground choice when I started, so I had a play with a couple of different things...For the Congrats card I used the Hexagons Dynamic TIEF as a stamp with Sahara Sand.
For the Bonjour Beautoful card I used the  Hardwood Stamp and White SU embossing powder.

Both cards have a sentiment from the stamp set called 'Happy Happenings'

I have added 3 little pearl beads from my bits and pieces stash to help finish the Congrats card.

Congrats

#Engagement #Love #Shabbychic #KOCreationscards #Handmade #Giftsfromtheheart #Madewithlove #Inspiredbylove #Bestbirds #Happyhappening

Both cards have a Soft Sky card stock layer for the background.

The lace and the sentiment have both been stamped first in versamark then straight into Saharah Sand then heat embossed with Gold SU embossing powder.

Bonjour Beautiful

#Engagement #Love #Shabbychic #KOCreationscards #Handmade #Giftsfromtheheart #Madewithlove #Inspiredbylove #Bestbirds #Happyhappening

For this card I kept the woodsy theme happening by adding branches, flowers and a tiny little blue bird all from the Best Birds bundle. The branches and flowers have been stamped in Sahara Sand. The flowers have had Blushing Bride applied with a Stampin' Write marker pen. I then pulled the colour out  a little with an aqua painter.
