Blooming Birthday Tag

Hiya!


It's time for another ColourQ challenge and I just love this week's inspiration pic - so pretty!

I had to substitute a few colours as three of these are retired so I used Old Olive, Tangelo Twist and Cajun Craze. I decided to break out a hostess set and do some colouring and cutting for this one...

I was inspired by the Tag You're It challenge this week and Lyn's beautiful tag card so that was my inspiration for this one. The flowers were stamped on watercolour paper, coloured with an aquabrush and inkpads, then I covered the images with Versamark ink and clear embossed twice to give them a shiny glazed look (you can't really see in the photo but it's really pretty IRL). I keep forgetting that the Tag You're It challenge is supposed to be CAS so I added layers and pearls before realising... oops!


Here's the recipe:
Stamps: Bloom with Hope
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Tangelo Twist, Cajun Craze, Stazon, Versamark
Paper: Project Life card, Color Me Autumn dsp, Chocolate Chip, Watercolour, Naturals White
Accessories: Clear embossing powder, Iridescent Ice EP Tangelo Twist ribbon, pearls
Tools: Angled Tag Topper punch

Make sure you check out the gorgeous creations by the rest of the design team this week!

Aqua Bloom Pizzazz...

Hiya!

Just popping in quickly to share a card I made the other evening while I was playing with my Blendabilities... I combined the Card Concept colours with the Sketch from the Paper Players...

While making this I realised I really need some more designer paper from the new catty! My collection is very limited at the moment and I have none in these colours so I had to make my own backgrounds with stamping and embossing...

I stamped the background with Pear Pizzazz ink onto Pear Pizzazz card then swiped some Whisper White ink around the edges. The image was stamped with Memento ink on Whisper White and coloured with Blendabilities, then die-cut and pierced around the edges. The banners at the side are a combination of card, washi tape and glimmer paper.

Here's the recipe:
Stamps: Bloom with Hope
Ink: Memento black, Pear Pizzazz, Coastal Cabana, Whisper White, Blendabilities (Coastal Cabana, Old Olive, Skin collection)
Paper: Pear Pizzazz, Coastal Cabana, Pool Party, Whisper White, Dazzling Diamonds glimmer paper, Naturals White
Accessories: Retro Fresh washi tape
Tools: Large Polka Dot embossing folder, Ovals framelits, Circle card thinlits

So, I quickly whipped something up this afternoon, combining the pretty colours with the sketch from Just Add Ink...

I played around with the fab new Flower Frenzy die and came up with this...

Here's the recipe:
Stamps: Bloom with Hope (hostess set)
Paper: Moonlight dsp, Lost Lagoon, Mossy Meadow, Wisteria Wonder, Blackberry Bliss, Whisper White
Ink: Blackberry Bliss
Accessories: Antique brad
Tools: Flower Frenzy bigz die, Circles framelits, Window Frames framelits

I'm keeping it short and sweet tonight - I've got a busy day tomorrow!

Thanks for stopping by...
