We Fall In... Colours - March 2020 Blog Hop

Hi Crafters,

I have a very exciting post today.  I've been invited to join a colour challenge blog hop and I'm so excited!  The We Fall In...Colours team are an international group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators who share their creative makes following a colour theme each month.  If you've come from Samira's awesome make you're on the right track. 



The colour challenge for this month is Granny Apple Green, Blueberry Bushel and Rococo Rose which are some of my favourites.




This colour palette lends itself to floral projects but I wanted to push myself so I've made a home decor project using ink blending through a mask.  I also put my Cricut electric cutting machine to work with some adhesive vinyl for the sentiment.



It was pretty hard to capture this project in a photograph due to either too much light or not enough.  I hope you can see how the sentiment sits on the glass raised above the inked image within the shadow box.

I started with a piece of Whisper White cardstock cut to 6.5" square.  I attached the mandala stencil from the Pattern Party Decorative Masks pack using low tack tape.  I applied the three inks - Granny Apple Green, Blueberry Bushel and Rococo Rose with Stampin' Sponges making sure to overlap the colours.  I trimmed the cardstock so that it would fit inside the shadow box and layered a piece of Thick Whisper White cardstock behind for some added rigidity.



I took inspiration from the Crafting Forever stamp set for the sentiment and made my own version in Cricut Design Space.  I cut it out with silver adhesive vinyl which shows up much better in real life.





I hope you're feeling inspired hopping along with our projects.  To keep going, just click the next button below to head to Shelly's fabulous creation.






Happy crafting,

Alternative Christmas Colours with Stampin' Up!

Hi Crafters,

I have a super simple Christmas card today featuring ink blending and stamping.  This is an alternative Christmas colour scheme but one that I really love.


I started with a piece of Whisper White cardstock and used Rococo Rose and Rich Razzleberry inks to create a blended look.  It would be much easier to start with Rococo Rose cardstock though!  I stamped the tree image from the Stampin Up! Winter Woods stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  I then heat embossed the sentiment from the Stampin' Up! Free Skate stamp set with white embossing powder.  I added white splatters by squeezing some white craft ink refill onto my glass mat, spritzed with water and then picked it up with a paintbrush and flicked it all over the card.  I tried to concentrate the splatter towards the top of the card.   I simply added the panel to the Whisper White card base, leaving a border showing all the way around.  You could definitely add some bling with sequins or by using Stampin' Up!'s metallic ink.  

I'd love to know your favourite alternative Christmas colour scheme.

Happy crafting,
Rachel
