Hi There! I hope this email/blog post finds you well.

I appreciate you taking the time to stop by today - I know you are all busy people and I'm grateful that you have taken the time to look at my project.

Today, I am entering in a new challenge blog/facebook group - Colour Inkspiration. It's made up of a group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators from Australia and New Zealand and fortnightly, there will be a different colour challenge released and everybody is invited to 'have a go' at the colour challenge. So, that's what I have done today.  Here is the ink-spiration image;

Whoah! There was a colour that I have never used before (like EVER - I'm talking about you Garden Green) and Wisteria Wonder - we use the stamp pad so infrequently that it is still the old style of ink pads. But, that's why it's called a challenge.....

Here is the card I ended up with;


I have been wanting to use this Sale-a-Bration item since it arrived at our home and this seemed like the perfect opportunity. For some reason, when I saw this colour combo, I thought of ice-cream.

To make the stripe background, I stamped the long strip stamp from the Thoughtful Banners stamp set. I then cropped this piece of cardstock closely and mounted on a piece of whisper white.


I then stamped the truck, coloured in with Stampin' Write Markers and cut out. I stamped the sentiment onto the Wisteria Wonder strip on the truck.

I also stamped the ground part of the truck stamp onto the striped background.


I used some of the Garden Green enamel shapes on the hubcaps. I mounted this onto the striped background and then mounted this onto a piece of whisper white. I was looking for something to run across the bottom and found a washi from the Affectionately Yours Washi collection.

Finally, I mounted this onto a Mint Macaron card base.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. Today, I'm having a part in the blog hop with the Stamp Review Crew once again. This is a group of stamping enthusiasts - usually, each blog hop features ONE STAMP SET, thus showing how versatile that particular set it.

Today, however, the hop revolves around some of the products that you can receive FREE during Sale-a-Bration 2017. Before I get to more details about Sale-a-Bration, let me share my card with you;


This product uses a free Sale-a-Bration item called Designer Tee.

I used the markers to directly colour the stamp in three colours (Basic Black, Real Red and Daffodil Delight). I coloured the image above to highlight this.

This coordinates with a bundle from the occasions catalogue


I used the T-Shirt stamp and the T-Shirt framelit. I LOVE this bundle and this free item is an awesome addition to the bundle.


Originally, I had the white background plain. But, I decided just before mounting the T-Shirt to stamp the sentiment in Smoky Slate to create a background.

What is Sale-a-Bration?

Sale-a-Bration

Both of the sheets from the free set of paper and non-balloon themed. I teamed both of the sheets with the relevant coloured card-stock.


I stamped the sentiment on white (its a two-step stamp) and then fussy-cut it out and mounted on another piece of white card.

We have some incredible projects to show you today. What we are MOST excited about is having the talented Val Moody from the UK hopping along with us. 

Inspiration

So, not only are we hopping with Val, but the theme for the hop is 'Case-ing Val Moody.'


This is the card I am Case-ing;


Funny story - Val actually cased it from Shelli Gardener. Here is the card i ended up with;


The coloured background was made by placing the white cardstock directly into the stamp pad. I used two colours - Bermuda Bay and (my least favourite colour) Peekaboo Peach. I actually really like the two colours together and i like the effect that they are slightly offset from one another.


I stamped the Empire State building in Versamark and white embossed the image. I then mounted onto the Bermuda Bay DSP from the Brights stack.


I then white-embossed onto a small piece of Peekaboo Peach, cut a small banner and mounted using dimensionals.


Finally, on the inside of the card, i used some Washi tape in each of the two colours.

Thanks for the inspiration Val (and Shelli).
