Blessings of Home for AYSI 281

How are your cooking skills this week? That's because it's RECIPE week at As You See It! Just take the five ingredients and see what you end up with, it's as easy as that!


And five fabulous ingredients they are, so we'll love to see what you do with them. Here's what I did.

Floral Stamp: Blessings of Home
Watercolouring: After inking the stamp up with Staz On on Fluid100 Watercolor paper, I used ink and water painters to colour the flowers and leaves.
Patterned Paper: under the die cut and the foliage dies are cut from DSP
Punch or dies: Flowers of Home dies (bundles with Blessings of Home) for the foliage and outline, Split Card Texture dies for the background.
Bright Colours: Melon Mambo, Flirty Flamingo, Daffodil Delight, Parakeet Party, Granny Apple Green


I do love the new Split Card Texture dies as they instantly, and easily,  add pizzazz to any layout.


The finishing touch was to add in three Melon Mambo dots from the Glossy Dot Assortment.

The team would love to see what you can cook up. You can see what the rest of the team did with these ingredients and link up your own entry at the As You See It Challenge page.

Blessings of Home for Colour INKspiration 122

 


Welcome to a new challenge at Colour INKspiration! This challenge is a celebration of Stampin' Up!'s 2022-2024 In Colours: Parakeet Party, Sweet Sorbet, Tahitian Tide, Orchid Oasis and Starry Sky. These crisp new colours will be with us for two years. 



For this challenge, you need use a MINIMUM of THREE of the new colours although you can use all five if you want to.

If you haven't played with us before, we are a group of Stampin' Up Demonstrators from the South Pacific. Challenges are shown and entered via our Facebook Group page. If you don't belong, and would like to, click here. Don't forget to answer the three easy questions you'll be asked when you ask to join the group.

Each challenge, Top Picks and a winner are chosen by the crew and the winner offered a chance to Guest Design with us for a future challenge, although there is no Guest Designer for this challenge as we unusually had less than ten entries.

If you don't have an exact challenge colour, feel free to replace it with whatever you have that's closest. - for example Melon Mambo for Sweet Sorbet. Black, White, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Sahara Sand and metallics are free colours, as are flesh toned Stampin' Blends.


These colours are so bright and vibrant! I didn't think that I could, or would use, all five colours but while colouring in this fabulous floral bouquet from Blessings of Home, they all managed to insert themselves into the design!


I used one of the new Split Card Texture dies. This pair of dies is not paired up with any particular stamp set but, as you see, will work with so many sets. I put some Tahitian Tide behind it to give the impression of a bright sky.

The sentiment, stamped in Tahitian Tide, is from the new Seasons of Chic set. This set, is my absolute favourite of the new catalogue, so you'll be seeing plenty of it here in the future!

I like the bright, cheerful nature of these In Colors - I look forward to seeing what everyone makes.

Visit the Colour INKspiration site to check out the album of Crew Cards for inspiration. You can also add your entry there. We all enjoy seeing what you do with our colour palettes, so join in!

Blessings of Home for AYSI 272

Time for a new challenge at As You See It and this week, we're back to the start of our challenge rotation with a sketch by Jane.


I've used the Blessings of Home bundle which is carrying over into the new catalogue.  The strips on the sketch reminded me of the floating strip technique, which I've not used in a while. It's hard to see in the photo but the strips are floating about the textured surface of the card.


If you would like to know how I made this, and maybe do your own version, you can watch the tutorial from my YouTube channel here.





You can see what the rest of the team have done, and link up your entry, at the As You See It Challenge site. You can play along with us until Wednesday 20 April.
