Global Design Project Colour Challenge

Posted in Cards by

I saw these colours and knew straight away that I had to play along, what a delicicous colour combination! And most of you know by now that I love, love, love a challenge.

I have added some Crumb Cake and White to these colours and featured the Gorgeously Made Dies, paired with the Artistic Mix Decorative Masks.
I have used the Decorative Masks to first put a wash of the Azure Afternoon colour across most of the Basic White layer, and then using a different mask, have overlaid the existing colour with the three different colours, Azure Afternoon at the top, Blueberry Bushel in the centre and Berry Burst towards the bottom.

I am just loving the subtle effect that these Decorative Masks can be used for, and for some more dramatic effects as well. I have some more ideas to share using these, so stay tuned for that.
And in the meantime, if you are looking for more ideas using this great colour combo, head on over to Global Design Project where there are some gorgeous projects.

Global Design Project Colour Challenge

Posted in Cards, Flowers by

I do love a challenge, especially a papercrafting challenge. So my card today uses the colours from the Global Design Project’s current colour challenge.

Definitely Christmassy colours, however I have been making heaps of Christmas cards, so decided not to make a Christmas card with these colours!
I have stamped the flowers with black Stazon ink and then coloured them with a Blender Pen and Cherry Cobbler ink, then fussy cut them and popped them onto the card with a glue dot to give them a little bit of height.

The background is swish of watercolouring using a Water Painter, lots of water and some Mint Macaron ink. It’s interesting that it looks a very different colour in the photo to the Mint Macaron cardstock of the butterfly.


I hope you are having a successful day with your creating.
Happy stamping!
Chris

The Blues

Posted in Cards by

It’s been a pretty traumatic and full on few days for my little family.
On the Thursday before Easter, my son injured his finger quite badly, while using a bench grinder in his workshop.
Needless to say, most of our Easter has been spent either in one hospital or another or travelling interstate so that he could have surgery on it.
But we are home and he is doing really well.
And I really needed some time to wind down, so……
I did some stamping, of course!
Monochromatic Butteflies

I made my card using a monochromatic colour scheme for the current Global Design Project challenge.
The photo isn’t great because it is a very cloudy day here, but the base card is Night of Navy and I have used the gorgeous Balmy Blue for everything else.  The white layer also features the Subtle Embossing Folder, although it’s a little hard to see it in the photo.
And of course those gorgeous butterflies from Butterfly Gala, along with the coordinating punch, which I am very happy to say, is carrying over to the next Annual Catalogue.
The butterflies have been coloured using Balmy Blue ink and Blender Pens.

Hope you are having a crafty Easter.
Happy Stamping!
Chris
