Stampin’ Up! Australia - Stampin’ Up! Merry Medley

Hi!

The inspiration image at The Card Concept's challenge this week is a delicious assortment of fresh summer gelato flavours! mmmmm gelato! I recently returned from a week’s holiday at Coolum Beach and was lucky enough to partake in Gelato Mio’s offerings daily!

I was inspired by the colours and thought it would be fun to make a start on my Christmas cards but use a non-traditional colour scheme.

I used Peekaboo Peach, Flirty Flamingo and Sweet Sugarplum inks in an ombre design on the Merry Medley background stamp.

What do you think?

Here’s the inspiration image:

I hope you like my card! :)

I have closed my online store but I am still an active demonstrator so if you would like to place an order feel free to email me. :)

Stampin’ Up! Australia - Stampin’ Up! Number of Years

Hi!

The inspiration image at The Card Concept's challenge this week is all about citrus colour!!

I was trying to channel some sort of graphic card that featured fun colourful circles but it wasn’t working so I looked to the ‘Number of Years’ stamp and decided to be guided by the bright colours for inspiration.

I thought it would be fun to make a teenage girl card.....keep it fresh and simple.

Here’s the inspiration image:

Here’s the sketch inspiration from CASE(E) This Sketch:

I hope you like my card! :)

Stampin’ Up! Australia - Pineapple Stamp Set

Hi!

The inspiration image at The Card Concept's challenge this week is a colourful array of wall pots...in all the rainbow colours. :)

I have a few new stamps - yay! I thought I would break out the Pineapple stamp for this card. I wanted to get a painted look on the Pineapple stamp so I got the large brushstroke stamp from the Work of Art stamp set and stamped straight onto the Pineapple stamp with each colour.

The colours from base to crown are:

Flirty Flamingo*
Sweet Sugarplum*
Dapper Denim*
Cucumber Crush
Delightful Dijon
Peekaboo Peach*
Watermelon Wonder 

*denotes NEW 2016-2018 In Color

This is a card for yet another ex-work-colleague who is moving to southern pastures, so I heat embossed the ‘congrats’ greeting from the Tin of Cards stamp set and embellished the card with some White Accents.

Here’s the inspiration image:

I hope you like my card! :)

Stampin’ Up! Australia - Stampin’ Up! Fairy Celebration

Hi!

Welcome to this week's Artful Stampers Blog Hop and welcome from Nicole’s blog.

I made this card for little girl in my son’s class. He attended her 6th birthday today and I thought she might like this card. :)

I used the technique for this week - the Faux Wax Seal - on the envelope. I stamped the little fairy image into the molten copper embossing powder and it left a cool effect! Shelli Gardner does a great little tutorial on this on her blog here. 

The seal looks nicer in real life. It kinda looks like a brown blob in my photo but actually it is very shiny and pretty. My advice is to keep the embossing powder nice and thick - you want that displaced look around the edges for an authentic wax seal look.  

I took the colouring cues for the fairy image from the colours featured in the Affectionately Yours DSP. They work beautifully I think. I also put some sparkly Wink of Stella on her wings, the flowers and the toadstool. :)

Here’s our theme for this week:
