Thank you for stopping my to visit my blog. If it’s your first time here, welcome. I was chosen as the winner of the Colour Inkspiration challenge a few weeks back and I want to thank the Colour Inkspirations team for giving me the opportunity to be a Guest Designer this week.
I must say I struggled to get going with this colour palette and had everything – ink pads, Blends, Markets – the works on my desk. Eventually, I settled on a stamp set and worked up from there.
My first thought was to go a more pastel project but as you can see, I went bold. I started off with an ink blended background in Orchid Oasis and Polished Pink.
I chose the Summer Shadows stamp set which I hadn’t use in a while. It’s good to show some love to some older sets amidst all the shiny new products we’ve got!
Using my Stamparatus, I was able to ink up the floral image in different ink colours. Adding shading using a sponge dauber is so easy with the Stamparatus as it lets you repeat the process to achieve a darker colour.
Some flowers and leaves were die cut from Fancy Flora Designer Series Paper using the Summer Shadow dies. I also added a larger die cut flower from Orchid Oasis Cardstock, tying in my brighter background. For the leaves, I blended Balmy Blue and Evening Evergreen on Basic White Cardstock and die cut the larger leaves from it. This gave me a softer green to blend with my project.
To break up all the colour I added layered White circles which made the floral image stand out against the bright background.

Hi friend, Welcome to our Sale-A-Bration themed Blog Hop.
What is Sale-A-Bration? It’s a Stampin’ Up! sale where you can a free product from the Sale-A-Bration Catalogue with every $90 you spend. This sale is usually held once a year but this is our 2nd Sale-A-Bration this year which is great because that gives YOU a chance to get some free craft products to add to your stash. There are 2 levels of freebies – some with a $90 order and others with a $180 order.
The Summer Shadows Dies can be earned free with a $180 order. These dies complement the Shaded Summer stamp set beautifully. There are dies to cut out the stamped images as well as individual dies which are perfect for adding detail to your projects. I’ve been creating quite a lot with this set and I love how easy it is to come up with pretty designs.
This card had several layers of leaves, including some in Silver Foil to enhance that floral bouquet. Our Silver Foil sheets come in a pack with 3 finishes – Brushed silver, matte charcoal, and mirrored charcoal – giving more choice.
I added heat embossed sentiment on black to create a contrast against the bouquet. Then those Matte Black Dots (I use them ALL the time) were added to pick up the black from the sentiment.
Thank you for stopping by. As you see all the beautiful projects, please take a moment to leave us a comment as we love hearing from you. For more inspiration, please click on the Next Blog button to follow through to see Joni Metras’ lovely creation.
