Inspiration at your finger tips

Images Copyright Stampin' Up! 1989-2010

Our team challenge this month was to use the Idea Book & Catalogue for inspiration, find a card layout we like and create a card. We could only use one colour family plus neutrals. and only one stamp set. I have adored this challenge - it really has been inspiring.

The card at the top is the one I choose on page 126 of the Idea Book and Catalogue, underneath is the one I created.

I used:

Stamp Set: Bugs & Kisses

Card Stock: Night of Navy, Brocade Blue, Rose Red

Ink: Night of Navy, Brocade Blue, Rose Red

Accessories: Brocade Blue 5/8" grosgrain ribbon, scallop edge punch, mat pack, stampin dimensionals.

The next challenge was to select another card layout and create another card using the same stamp set and colur family as the first card. I have created two, I'll post them soon.

Just for Jada

Images copyright Stampin' Up! 1989-2010

I created the card using the whale image while away camping with some wonderful friends (yes all the Stampin stuff went too - unfortunately didn't create as much as we thought), this card was then made by Jada Murray age 8, isn't it cute, I love the Tempting Turquoise and Pixie pink colour combo, and with any girly project she added some dazzling diamonds for a bit of bling.

Thanks for letting me share this Jada.
