NO BONES ABOUT IT - Global Design Project

Colours are the magic of life. Sometimes having a little inspiration gives you the right push to craft. While I was looking for inspiration I came across this week's Global Design Project Colour Challenge.

The colours inspired me to make a Dino Birthday Card.

One of the things I love about the combination of colours they have used this week in Global Design Project is that I find them neither girlie or boy, but neutral in their tones.

Measurements:

Calypso Coral Card Base 29.6 x 10.5cm, scored at 14.8cm
Basic Black Layer 13.5 x 10cm
Whisper White Layer 10.5 x 10.5cm
Whisper White Sentiment Layer 2.6 x 4.5cm

To order any of the products used to make my project, go to my SHOP NOW button on the side bar which will take you to my online store.

I run regular classes from the Western suburbs of Melbourne. I can show you how to make this, or any other project at your own party, which can either be held online via Facebook or in person. Contact me to arrange a time and to learn more about the benefits of being a hostess at your own party.

DRAGONFLY DREAMS - Color Throwdown #ctd432

Hi and welcome to today's blog post.

Today I have a Dragonfly Dreams card to share with you.

I used the dots in the stamp set to create a colourful background. Simply added some strips of matching coloured card stock and stamped a Dragonfly using Real Red and Daffodil Delight.

The colours used in this card are from the current Color Throwdown Challenge.

If you love this stamp set as much as me and would like to purchase, just click on the picture and it will take you straight to my shop.

Kind Butterfly - Watercolour Wings

I have been getting some great feedback lately regarding the cards I have been making using the Irresistibly Floral Designer Series Paper. It appears that many of you have like the paper as much as I do.

Today I teamed up the Irresistibly Floral paper with the Watercolour Wings stamp set.

The four step stamping in the butterfly makes for a beautiful multi-coloured butterfly, just like the real thing. If you haven't used this stamp set before, don't stress, it is easy to use as it is photopolymer so you can see through to line up. It is also very forgiving if it is not lined up perfectly.

A number of people have asked about how I colour the paper, so I thought I would make a YouTube video to show you just how easy it is.

The card I am sharing today has been entered into two challenges.

This week is a colour challenge over at Global Design Project. As you may know, I like doing challenges as it not only stretches my creativity but also reminds me to use products  that I often forget to use.

Here is what I have made to enter this week using the Festive Birthday Designer Series paper and the Any Occasion stamp set. The stamp set I received for FREE when I purchased over $90AU.

These are the colours in this weeks challenge.

I love these enamel dots to add a touch of colour.

I added a little Daffodil Delight to the designer series paper with a Stampin' Write Marker.

A Big Thank You - Fab Friday #100

I was looking on the internet for some inspiration and typed in "Stampin' Up Challenge" and found this week's Fab Friday colour challenge which took my eye. Can you believe they are up to number 100!!! What better time to join in!

Here is the challenge.

These colours lead me to create today's card.

I sponged Delightful Dijon and a little Mint Macaron on a piece of Irresistibly Floral Speciality DSP to create the main background of my card.

If you aren't familiar with this DSP, it is a dream to work with. It starts off white and you add your own colour. This can be done by using a sponge, a dauber, a brayer or simply wiping an ink pad directly to the DSP. Each pack has 6 different designs with 12 pieces in total.

Global Design Project #061 - Colour Challenge

I was looking for some inspiration today so decided to join in with this week's Global Design Challenge. This is the latest challenge.

What a wonderful colour combination we have to play with this week. I walked into my craft space, took a quick look and decided to pull out a brand new stamp set from my last order - Birthday Blooms (140658).

This is the card that I came up with.

I used a Basic Black to mat the image and then used dimentionals and placed it on a Sweetsugar Plum card base.

I used a blender pen (102845) and inks to colour in the largest flower from the Birthday Blooms Stamp Set.

UPDATE: This card was a special mention at Global Design Project.

Thanks for stopping by I hope you take the opportunity to look at all the other lovely entries for this week's Global Design Challenge,

A Heartfelt Congrats - Global Design Project #049

Inspiration can be found almost anywhere.

This time I found it from this week's challenge at Global Design Project #GDP049. This week they have a colour challenge.

What a lovely combination of colours! This is what it inspired me to make.

The hearts are from the Sunshine Wishes Dies. I cut out three hearts from Flirty Flamingo and Daffodil Delight. I then glued them on top of each other and added a final coat of fine tip glue to the top one.

The sentiment "congrats" also came from the Sunshine Wishes Dies. One was cut from Flirty Flamingo and the other from Daffodil Delight, they were then stuck down off centre to create a shadow effect.

Cardstock:  Pear Pizzaz (1312920)

Global Design Project - #GDP25

Always love a challenge, in fact I find them very useful to get my creativity going. Today I decided to join in with the Global Design Project challenge for this week - a colour challenge.

Here is what I came up with.

We always need a little something special on the inside.

This stamp set is such an easy one to use in so many different ways. To make this card for a little girl, all we need to do is to use some different colours, cause dinosaurs are for everyone!

Make sure you visit Global Design Project and check out all the other entries in this week's challenge.
