Kristina's Colour Inspiration #20

I know, I know! I only ever seem to post for Kristina's Colour Inspiration lately but I have been super busy. I have a class this week for a mini scrapbook this week at Tomaree Comunity College in Nelson Bay so I have been preparing for that (I will post the book soon for you all to have a look at.) and next weekend I will be doing a Stamp-A-Stack Card Class there too.
All the details can be found here if you are interested in attending.

So this weeks colours are:

Chocolate Chip, Regal Rose, Pink Pirouette (I used Pretty In Pink), Certainly Celery & Very Vanilla.

Heres what I used:

• Stamp Set: From The Garden (Hostess Set)
• Ink: Pretty In Pink, Regal Rose, Chocolate Chip, Certainly Celery
• Card Stock: Chocolate Chip, Pretty In Pink, Very Vanilla and DSP Certainly Celery
• Accessories: Silver Brads and Pretty In Pink 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon.
  

Kristina's Colour Inspiration #19

Well I haven't posted for ages but I thought I would get back into it with one Kristina's Colour Inspiration. This week's colours are Basic Black, Basic Grey, Whisper White and a colour of my choice.

I decided to use a new set I have - yes it is Stampin' Up but sadly it is not available here in Australia...yet. Maybe next year, you never know. I got it from a friend in the US - a fab little pressie.

For this card I have used:

• Cardstock: Whisper White, Basic Black, Basic Grey, So Saffron
• Stamp Set: Fresh Cuts
• Ink: White Craft, Basic Grey, So Saffron
• Accessories: 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon - Basic Black & Whisper White, White Embossing Powder, Silver Brads

Kwerner Colour Challenge #18

Once again Kristina has found a great colour combo to inspire us this week! I don't usually use bold colour schemes ~ I admit I am just a little scared of them ~ but this one was irresistible!

For this card I used:

• Cardstock: Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie, Rose Red, Green Galore
• Accessories: Boho Blossom Punch, Corner Rounder Punch, Pumpkin Pie 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon, Basic Black Brads, Unknown Rubon (non SU).
  

Spring Mini

Although it's still chilly outside Spring is in the air and what better way to celebrate than to treat yourself to some new goodies from Stampin' Up! Our new Spring Mini has just been released and is full of fabulous new items including new Designer Series Papers, Sets, beautiful Satin Ribbons and silver Hodgepodge hardware. You simply must have a look!

If you are interested in getting a copy of the catty for yourself please send me an email.

Swaps

Here are a couple of cards I made for some swaps that I have recently taken part in with some fellow demos. The first one was hosted by fabulous upline Karen which required watercolouring and brads.

And the second one was an open theme on SOS:

A Thank You

My amazing upline Karen has nominated my blog for the following award:


Which is so sweet... Thanks Kaz! and ofcourse Thank you to all of you who read my blog regularly. I will pass this nomination onto my fabulous sideline Mel - who has such a great blog with great challenges and projects. Great work Mel!

Kwerner Colour Inspiration & Card Box

Sorry I have been away a while, I have been busy finishing up my college assignment and then I got a head cold - yuck!

I have been making quite a few cards though which hopefully I will get around to posting for you all to see soon.

This weeks Kwerner Colour Inspiration is to use Rose Red, Regal Rose, Sage Shadow & Whisper White. I had a bit of trouble with this one because I have trouble with pastel colours for some reason. Here is what I came up with:

Another project that I have been working on is a box to keep all my cards in. I bought this neat little lunch tin from Spotlight and decorated it with Berry Bliss DSP and some items from my beloved Pretties Kit ~ I really love how it turned out and the cards fit inside perfectly.

Kwerner & Mojo

Again I am working away busily working away at cards. Today I have done a card for the Kwerner Color Challenge ~ which I always visit but have never done before and Mojo Monday sketch challenge. Here is my card:

For this card I have used: Stamp Sets: Oh So Lovely, Short & Sweet Cardstock/Paper: Certainly Celery, Close To Cocoa, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White and Apple Cider DSP Ink: Basic Brown, Really Rust, Certainly Celery Accessories: Cropodile, Corner Punch, Hodge Podge Hardware

Two In One!

Suffering some insomnia so I thought I would make a card! I have combined two challenges in one to make a fab card. I have used a cute sketch by Katharina from Papertake Weekly and the SCS Color Challenge CC174.

For this card I have used the following: Stamps: Always*, One of a Kind* Cardstock/Paper: Groovy Guava, Chocolate Chip, Barely Banana, Berry Bliss DSP Ink: Chocolate Chip Accessories: Groovy Guava Double Stitched Ribbon, Rhinestone Brads, Flower Embellishments from Kaiserkraft.

The stamp sets with a * will be available from next month. Contact me for more details.
