Inspire.Create. Stamping Challenges Challenge#163|Colour Challenge

 Hello and welcome to the Inspire.Create Stamping Challenge. I am Karen Farquhar from Australia. This week we have been set a colour challenge. The challenge colours being Fresh Freesia, Lemon Lime Twist and Pretty Peacock. Very pretty.


For this challenge I have chosen the gorgeous Stamp Set Translucent Florals and it is available as a bundle with its Translucent Florals coordinating die set. In my online store.




 For my stamping I have 'stamped off ' the floral images to give a lighter colour and for the leaves I used Lemon Lime Twist to ink up my leaves and then used a Sponge Dauber to highlight the edges with Pretty Peacock ink before stamping my images.
I have teamed the Translucent Florals Bundle with the Layered Floral 3D embossing folder from our new Stampin' Up! Mini Catalogue available until the 30th April or until stocks run out. Pretty products for pretty colours. I've been a little pressed for time this fortnight so I was only able to create one project for this challenge.

Inspire.Create. Stamping Challenges Challenge#162|Inspiration Challenge

Hello and welcome to Inspire.Create. Challenge #162. I am Karen Farquhar an Australian Stampin' Up! Demonstrator. This week we have been set an Inspiration Challenge. The challenge is to create a project from anything that appeals to you from this gorgeous Jo Blackman's card.
You could choose to recreate Jo's layout, her colour scheme, her theme, the same stamped images... Anything that appeals to you. There are no wrongs.


I chose Jo's design but recreated it as a Scrapbook page of my Granddaughter on Easter Sunday morning.
The soft pastel colours in the Lighter Than Air Designer Series Paper remind me so much of soft Easter colours I had to use them for this photo. However I have been told purple and yellow are Easter colours.

                                   

I have also created an Easter card again using Jo's design with the sweet Excellent Eggs stamp set and the Lighter Than Air DSP.

Inspire.Create. Stamping Challenges: #161|Theme Challenge All About Love

 Hello and welcome to another Inspire.Create Stamping Challenge. I am Karen Farquhar from Australia. This week we have been set the theme challenge 'All About  Love'. 


I've been revisiting my love for embroidery lately so I thought I might incorporate some cross-stitching into my card making for this challenge.


 I graphed out a couple of simple designs then laid the graph paper designs over my cardstock, pierced the designs through to the cardstock using a sewing pin. Then simply connected the pinpricks with cross- stitches using one strand of DMC embroidery thread. 


I have used two designs from two of the gorgeous Sale-a-Bration FREE Designer Series Paper packs as background papers to my designs.

Inspire.Create Stamping Challenges: #160|Sketch Challenge

Hello and welcome to Inspire.Create Stamping Challenge #160. I am Karen Farquhar from Australia. This week we have my favourite challenge a Sketch Challenge. 


I needed to create a birthday card for my Grandson and I wanted to step away from the usual football/sport inspired cards I usually make for him.

They have 2 very naughty, adorable Labrador very loved furry family members, so when I saw the new stamp Doggone Friendly in our new Mini Catalogue I thought that it really would make a fun card.
So I stamped 3 images of the Doggone Friendly background stamp. I then used one image as the background for my card, cut the 2 rectangular shapes from the next piece to replicate the challenge sketch, then fussy cut the doggies from the 3rd stamped image.
I have lined all the stamped images up with the background images and adhered them in place using Real Red Cardstock as bases for the black and white stamping. I then coloured a few of the stamped details with a Real Red  Stampin' Blends Pen.
Can you name all the dog breeds on the stamp?
