I am delighted to be able to play with Inkspire Me because I loved the idea of being able to add my own colour to the neutrals.
I chose a colour that I seldom ever use - Pumpkin Pie. I found myself colouring in the flowers from Amazing You, a Sale-a-bration set, in the bright orange almost against my will!
I started with a sponged stencilled background in Smoky Slate. I stamped the flower from Amazing You in Tuxedo Black and stamped extra leaves around it. The spray is built up with Pumpkin Pie blooms, and die cuts in Smoky Slate and vellum from Bouquet Bunch framelits.
The sentiment is from Perennial Birthday, a new set from the Occasions catalogue. The Pumpkin Pie sequins are also from the Occasions catalogue and I've added a small rhinestone in the centre of them and one in the flower centre to make three.
If you live anywhere in New Zealand and don't have a Stampin' Up demonstrator, I'd love to help you with ideas and Stampin' Up products. Sale-a-bration is on and there's a new Special Occasion Catalogue out. Please message me through my Facebook page, linked in the sidebar of this blog or leave a comment below.
And, of course, you can shop with me from anywhere in New Zealand.
Update: Utterly delighted to be the Top Pick at Inkspire Me!

ReplyDeleteThis is such a lovely Card! Pumpkin Pie looks great even I don't use it very often too! Thank you so much for playing Inkspire_me this week! Greetings from Bavaria, Kirstin
ReplyDeleteA wonderful card! And I feel with you, I hardly ever use Pumpkin Pie anymore even though back in my early SU days I used to take it for each and every project. Nice to see it here :-) Thanks for playing along and best wishes, Annemarie
