Jar of Flowers for Retro Rubber 166

This time around at Retro Rubber, we have an inspiration photo to get you thinking. You can be inspired by the images or the colours or whatever you see in it. Of course, as this is RETRO rubber, you do need to use at least one stamp that's older than a year and give us an approximate age for it.

I've used Jar of Flowers, from the 2020 Annual Catalogue. I got it out for something else recently and was pleasantly surprised to be reminded of the many different looks it offers.

I stamped the sunflower image a couple of times and coloured them with Stampin' Blends. I cut up the second one to add in some extra depth to the bouquet.

The wooden table in the picture lead me to using the wood grain DSP from the In Good Taste pack as a panel and the Timber embossing folder for the circle.

For further inspiration, I used the sketch at Hand Stamped Sentiments and the challenge is open for another few days.

You can see what the rest of the Design Team have done, and link up your entry, at the Retro Rubber Challenge site.

Jar of Flowers for CI105

Welcome to a new challenge at Colour INKspiration! Our last colour challenge had a huge number of amazing entries, which we enjoyed looking at. We're hoping that this challenge is just as popular. I'm especially keen as I had the pleasure of choosing this inspiration picture.

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 two 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. This time, we have Tracy Held joining us as Guest Designer.

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

The first freesias and daffodils are poking up their heads in my garden, so spring must be near although with yesterday's freezing weather, it was hard to tell! In the craft room, it was very spring-like with this colour palette and Jar of Flowers. Here's what I came up with....

I started by stamping the flower image three times in Tuxedo Black onto Very Vanilla and colouring with Stampin' Blends, I did it multiple times because I like to cut up the image to add in extra blooms and extra dimension. I also die cut some stems in Old Olive using the Sunflowers dies to flesh out the bouquet further.

I stamped the jar and stems onto Very Vanilla and used the Jar punch to punch it out, along with a jar shape in Vellum. I attached the Vellum jar over the top to create the illusion of milky glass.

The sentiment is from Best Year (one of the sweet surprises in the Annual Catalogue), punched with the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch, then stamped over with the flowers image in Mango Melody.

The embossing folder is my favourite thing from the July-December Mini Catalogue - Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder.

When you visit the Colour INKspiration site to enter, don't forget to check out the album of Crew Cards for further inspiration.

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.
