All Squared Away for TGIF320 and Inspire. Create 92

I've treated myself to some extra craft time today and have combined two challenges for inspiration.Inspire. Create. Challenge has a colour challenge.

Since I'm really enjoying this year's In Colors, this was no hardship to use!

I also used the sketch at TGIF Challenge.

The beautiful square die cuts from the All Squared Away bundle seemed perfect for the sketch. I like the way the stamps set offers various backgrounds that fit behind the die cuts perfectly and that the die set includes the extra little matching flowers so you can layer up.

I also think it's very cute that the larger of the 2021-23 In Color Jewels perfectly fits into the centre of the rounded flower. 😀

The Brick & Mortar 3D embossing folder made a for a clean background for the bright floral squares.

Friends are Like Seashells for Create. Inspire 82

I'm so enjoying the Friends Are Like Seashells bundle that I keep playing with it! This time, I've used the sketch at Inspire.Create as inspiration.

There's so much to love about this set. In this case, I've used the outline stamps for the sand dollar and the starfish and coloured them with Stampin' Blends. The seashell is a DistINKtive stamp, so is lovely by itself. I've added in stamped sea-foliage (which come with matching dies) and cut some seaweed from the large die cut in the set as well.

What looks like a seascape with sky on the horizon is actually a circle cut from the Sand & Sea DSP. I've mounted that on a Stitched Circle of Sahara Sand.

After embossing a piece of Seaside Spray with the Pinewood Plank 3D folder, I rubbed it over lightly with some Whisper White ink to add to the coastal flavour of this card.

Delighted to be chosen as winner at Inspire. Create. Challenge.

Jar of Flowers for Inspire. Create 74

I was playing around today with the 2020-22 In Colours: Magenta Madness, Bumblebee, Cinnamon Cider, Just Jade and Misty Moonlight. Although at first glance they seem to be colours that almost compete with each other, today I was struck by how well they do work together as a group.

I was playing around with making a shaker card I could use in an upcoming class but ended up going a little more stepped up and using all the In Colours. So it fits in nicely with the current challenge at Inspire.Create.

By stamping and colouring more than one of the bouquets of flowers, then fussy cutting them, there is no end to the possibilities of different arrangements that can be created.
