I’m playing along with the Colour Inkspirations Challenge CI132. With the accompanying photo, it was hard not to go along with the beachy theme.
Instead I went with what seems to be my next favourite, the bird from the Perched in a Tree stamp set. I heat embossed the image in Silver and then coloured it in with Watercolour Pencils. I used colours that were similar to the challenge for this part of my card.
With the sentiment banner I really wanted to add a bit of a floral image so I went with the Fitting Florets collection. I coloured the image with Tahitian Tide, Orchid Oasis and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends.
In this photo you can see the pretty Snowflake Vellum oval which adds a lovely soft touch behind the bird.
Thank you for stopping by and make sure to come by later when I’ll have another card for you for Day 7 of the #30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge.
We’ve been challenged by Martin Stone with a sketch challenge for the #30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge. I must say, I did struggle with this one as I was a bit stumped with the 3 elements on it and tying it all together.
I ended up choosing the tree rings from the Ringed with Nature bundle to form part of my sketch. Two sizes of Stitched rectangles formed the base of the sketch.
The beautiful Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper provided my fussy cut elements along with some die cut leaves to make these elements flow together. I’ll be ordering my second pack of this paper as I’m running through it so quickly! It’s great for all seasons.
The Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper is available while supplies last until 4th January.

I’m looking forward to November with lots of Stampin’ Up! events, new catalogue sneak peeks and Christmas preparations. Lots of cardmaking is definitely on my list of things to do as I have several markets to attend and lots to get ready to giveaway to friends and family. So what a better way to get ready than to take part in Martin’s Mahyem #30dayChristmasCardmakingChallenge. Martin Stone is a member of the Stampin’ Up! Artisan Design Team. I’m so looking forward to this fun challenge.
For Day 1 it’s ‘something red’ and I’ve used the Sweetest Christmas Designer Series Paper to create the backdrop for my card.
For an extra layer of red, I added some ink blending through the Artistic Mix Decorative Masks.
The pinecones are from the Christmas Season stamp set which a carryover from last year and don’t they make a great feature on this card? Some Mint Macaron and Blushing Bride break up the red and create a pretty colour palette. The oval dies are from the brand new Fitting Florets Collection which is available from today. The dies are a must have just for these ovals alone.
Every day in November, my newsletter subscribers will receive a new tutorial for a Christmas project. Today’s tutorial will be for this card.

My card today has been inspired by the challenge at Colour Inkspiration CI131. This colour scheme just had a rustic feel to it (perhaps it was the vintage photo inspiration as well).
I’ve used the yet-to-be released Fitting Florets Dies to create this ornate oval frame for the candy canes. The Fitting Florets Collection will be available for purchase on 1st November. Want it straightaway? Just add it to a Starter Kit. Until 31st October you get to choose $283 of product and pay $169.
I embossed Crumb Cake Cardstock with the Brick Embossing Folder. Then I added Crumb Cake and Early Espresso ink over it using a Blending Brush. On the Early Espresso oval I splattered some Craft Ink with a Water Painter to give the effect of snow.
The candy canes were stamped in Cherry Cobbler and then I added some stripes with a Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blend. I really love the warmth this card exudes for Christmas.
