Oh my, I’m in love with this colour combination. Who would have thought it would include Lemon Lime Twist? When Lemon Lime Twist made it’s debut as an In-Color some years ago, I barely used it but since it’s return as part of our core colour range I’m finding it adds that perfect punch to my cards,
Misty Moonlight is another past In-Color (which I LOVED), now returning as part of our core range and Copper Clay is part of our new 2023-2025 In-Colors. It’s so much fun to have a fresh new palette of colours to play with
I used the Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper and Gorgeously Made bundle to create this card in keeping with the sketch at Just Add Ink challenges #652.
This is a nice and simple sketch which can be worked with in so many ways. I flipped the sketch a bit so the circle is to the left. In place of it I added 2 sets of leaves. One set die cut from Misty Moonlight Cardstock and the other from Basic White and ink blended with Lemon Lime Twist. This added a subtle pop of colour to my earthy card.
A banner die cut from the Nested Essentials dies lays on the Gorgeously Made label which was embossed with the Cane Weave Embossing Folder for added texture. On the base I used the spiral notebook die, inked with Pecan Pie ink and lay it on a small piece of DSP which I scrunched up and attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I just love the extra dimension this added.
I hope you have been inspired to play with some different colour palettes using our new colours.

On my desk, I have a pile of scraps from projects. These are not cardstock or paper scraps. It’s background scraps or bits of watercoloroured cardstock, an extra die cut leaf, a stamped image, some fussy cut images I had extras of. Many times I may not even remember when I created it or the colours I used for it but it comes in handy.
I had stamped a few of the images from the In the Moment stamp set on an A6 size card piece ready to colour whenever I felt like it. This too was in my scrap pile. When in a bit of a creative funk, colouring in can help the process.
I enjoyed the colouring process and used a combination of Stampin’ Blends to achieve the shading.
I followed the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches #582 to complete my card and used Mint Macaron and a feature colour in a bit of a farewell to one of my favourites.
This card would be great to give Mum for Mother’s Day (which is just a few weeks away). After all, Mum would just love a moment to sit, read a book and relax on her day.

Welcome to the Around the World on Wednesday blog hop. This month we celebrate the start of our 4th year as a group and I want to thank Angie Mckenzie who puts in so much effort to organising everything and keeping us running smoothly. I love this group and am grateful to be part of such a beautiful community.
This month our theme is April Showers bring May flowers. Over in Melbourne we’re in Autumn so there are showers but not many flowers and it’s getting a little bit chilly.
We were given a double challenge to create something that reminds us of spring along with a technique. Didn’t matter that spring is gone, I still chose some spring colours and have followed the sketch at Sunday Stamps for my creation.
I started off by creating the 3 centre panels using the Emboss Resist technique.
EMBOSS RESIST PANEL
Using the Artistic Mix Decorative Mask, add Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo and Coastal Cabana ink randomly with a Blending Brush. Use Lighter tones.
Stamp the 2 different leaves with Versamark ink over the entire panel
Add clear embossing powder
Melt embossing powder with Heat Tool
With Blending Brush, go over the entire panel in the same colours. Apply colours a little bit darker over embossed leaves.
Wipe back colour from embossed leaves with a paper wipe.
I used the Mini Pocket Envelope Dies to die cut the 3 panels and then matte it onto Kraft Cardstock.
The card base was covered with a layer of Vellum with a subtle leafy pattern. On this, I added the 3 small emboss resist panels which had been layered onto a long die cut piece from the Irresistible Blooms dies. This was then added to an embossed panel matte with the Naturally Gilded Designer Series Paper. For the strip of Textured Shimmer Paper, I used the Balmy Blue sheet and blended Coastal Cabana over it to coordinate with my colours.
The flower was stamped twice, fussy cut and layered with some heat embossed leaves and smaller Early Espresso Leaves die cut using the Mini Pocket Envelope Dies.
I had to include my favourite Linen Thread and some simple pearls to complete this spring blooms card.

When I created this colour palette, little did I know that a couple of these colours would be farewelling us this year. For my colour palette no. 6 I’ve chosen some beautiful Easter colours. Blushing Bride and Bermuda Bay will be leaving us so it was lovely to be able to use these pretty colours on this card.
I chose the Easter Bunny stamp set in keeping with the colours. The bunny was stamped in Crumb Cake ink and lightly blended with the same ink using a Blending Brush. I added some detail with Rich Razzleberry and Crushed Curry Watercolour Pencils.
I used the Watercolour Pencils to add a light shading of Bermuda Bay, Gorgeous Grape and Rich Razzleberry – picking the closest colours to my palette. These were blended with a Stampin’ Blend Color Lifter.
A cute border was die cut along the sentiment panel with the Penned Dies which I then coloured in with a Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blend. All my elements were added onto a card base in one of my favourite neutrals – Sahara Sand. This colour is also leaving us so if you love this colour, get some cardstock, ink and refills from our Last Chance sale to keep you going.

Over the past few weeks I’ve been sharing colour palette inspiration on my FB page and through my newsletter. This week we have this rich range of colours to work with.
On last night’s Live I shared a card using this gorgeous palette. This design used up some of my scraps too.
I also showed how to use the Gilded Leafing which added a lovely opulent border to this card. Watch the video tutorial for tips on using this product. Don’t forget to like and subscribe to my YouTube Channel for more inspiration.

Hello and welcome to the New at SU Blog where we are showcasing some of our fabulous bundles from the January – April Mini Catalogue with the challenge of not using ANY Basic White Cardstock.
My chosen product is the very cute Easter Bunny bundle. I put my hand up for the product and then I thought – ah, that wasn’t a smart choice without any white!
For my background, I ink blended Pool Party, Pacific Point and Night of Navy ink on Pool Party Cardstock which was layered onto a Night of Navy card base.
I stamped the bunnies on Very Vanilla Cardstock and coloured them in with a mix of Stampin’ Blends, varying the colours for the two bunnies. Then I added some highlights with Watercolour Pencils, Early Espresso for the one on the right and Cajun Craze for the other.
The flowers were watercoloured using a Water Painter and ink pads and some blending using Watercolour Pencils. I really love how the combination of mediums work together.
Leaves from the Forever Fern stamp set were stamped onto Very Vanilla Cardstock in Soft Succulent with highlights of Shaded Spruce. This was blended over with some leftover green on my Blending Brush (possibly Pear Pizzazz) and a bit of Soft Succulent.
I watercoloured a panel of Shimmery White Cardstock with Soft Succulent and Soft Sea Foam and then die cut the sprigs with the Organic Dies. A bit of extra shading was added using a Blending Brush once dry. To tie all the leaves and flowers together I added the solid leaves die cut from Fine Shimmer paper.
A simple heat embossed sentiment was chosen to balance out against the heavy foliage on which the bunnies were set.
I hope you have been inspired by my bunny card and perhaps you might like to consider adding this to your order. Until 28th February, every $90 you spend will earn you a free Sale-A-Bration product so it’s a great time to shop.
