TGIF Colour Challenge #384

Posted on by

Hey Everyone

I was able to create projects for a few challenges over the weekend. Love weekends like those. The card I’m sharing tonight is for the latest colour challenge at TGIF Challenges.

I created a card that features all five of the 2022-2023 In Colours. Thought I’d challenge myself and see if I could get them all on my card.

I started this card by taking a Artistic Decorative Mask and a piece of Basic White Cardstock. After sticking the cardstock and mask down with some old Washi Tape, I took a Blending Brush and all three blue In Colours – Tahitian Tide, Orchid Oasis & Starry Sjy- and blended over the mask to create a multi-coloured decorative background.

The final two in colours – Parakeet Party & Sweet Sorbet – were then used to give the flower and leaf images life with my blends. This gorgeous image is from the Blessings of Home Stamp Set. This image was fussy cut out, even though I have the die for it… I added a couple of leafy Basic White die cuts from the matching Flowers of Home Dies.

The sentiment is also from the Blessings of Home Stamp Set. I trimmed this sentiment in half to just use the thank you part of the stamp.

For a final bit of interest, I added a torn strip of Starry Sky Cardstock and added it to the edge of front panel.

Here’s my card:

Blessings Of Home Card – part II

Posted on by

Hey Everyone

This is the second card I made today while I had the Blessings of Home Stamp Set open on my desk. My previous card featured a cluster of flowers and leaves. This image I’ve used is the smaller one in the set. The flowers have been coloured with Fresh Freesia and Rich Razzleberry Blends. As with my other card, I took the Dark Smoky Slate Blend and added shading to the centre of the flowers and leaves. The leaves were mainly coloured with my Pool Party Blends.

The image has a matching die so that you don’t have to fussy cut it out. I’ve also paired the image with some leafy die cuts from the Flowers of Home Dies in Pool Party.

My card base is Pool Party and on this, I layered a piece of Basic White Cardstock and the oh-so-pretty DSP from the Heart and Home DSP pack – both of these layers have roughed up edges.

At the moment, I’m addicted to Kraft Cardstock, so I added a panel of this and roughed up the edges. I then layered a circle die cut and on this, I placed my sentiment, collection of flowers and leaves and a torn piece of Fresh Freesia Cardstock. Every piece of cardstock, no matter how thin, is kept for this very reason.

The three little black gems are also new to me. These are called Classic Matte Dots and will be available along with all the products from the Heart & Home Suite in January.

Thanks for stopping by.

Flowers of Home Card

Posted on by

Hey Everyone

I’ve had a weekend away and have come home to ink up my new stamp set called the Blessings of Home Stamp Set. This set is part of the Home Project Suite that comes with coordinating dies called the Flowers of Home Dies. These products will be available in the January 2022 Mini Catalogue.

The gorgeous woodgrain DSP I’ve added to my card is from the Heart and Home Designer Series Paper pack. This paper pack is part of the Home Project Suite, also available in January 2022.

The flowers have been given colour with a combination of Crumb Cake, Soft Suede and Pale Papaya Blends. I then took the Dark Smoky Slate Blend and added depth to the centre of each flower. The leaves also had a bit of Smoky Slate Blend treatment.

Once I was happy with the amount of colour of wanted for the blooms, I took the matching die to the image and cut it out. I cut the image in half and layered it around my sentiment. The sentiment has been cut with a label die from the Tasteful Label Dies. These dies also cut the banner and circle die cuts I added to my card.

A Linen Thread bow finished off my card.

Here’s my card:
