You may be starting here – or you might have hopped on over from Simone Bartrum at Stamping with Simone – either way – WELCOME! Enjoy the Hop!

Our Pinterest Inspired Colour Swatch for Challenge #5 is:

I can hear the ooh’s & ah’s – but I have to say that I’m not really a pastel sort of a gal! However –  joining in challenges is a fabulous way to push us outside of our comfort zones – guess that’s why they’re called Challenges! And these colours do work so well together nad lend themselves to a range of different card types. 

My project for Colour INKspiration #5 started with a card I made for a team member who promoted to Bronze Elite. I’m sure she is going to love the extra 5% discount that comes with that new title  – definitely something to celebrate. Her card was in Blushing Bride, Pool Party and Crumb Cake as I didn’t have access to checking the Challenge colours at the time – so did it from memory! Hmm – close – but not quite right! So She has that one and I made another in the challenge colours!

I’m loving these Celebrations Duo “debossing” folders! There are two in the set – saying Celebrate and Happy – and they give such a cool effect.The coloured dots are from the coordinating Happy Celebrations stamp set.

You run your card stock and Embossing folder through the Big Shot before you do any stamping. I have found that the Thick Whisper White is better for these folders than the regular Whisper White. The extra thickness gives the card more rigidity and helps avoid any ink getting into the debossed area.

 The Basic Black mat was to make the soft colours around the sentiment contrast with the soft colours of the Falling in Love Designer Series Paper that is on the card front. 

I’ve stamped a few images from Timeless Textures onto the DSP in Sahara Sand to give it more interest.

And how cute are those Falling in Love embellishments?!

Hop on over to Rebecca at The Paper and Stamp Addict – you just might get to see a different piece of the fabulous Falling in Love DSP!
