Soft & Pretty CI#64




 Colour INKspiration is a fortnightly blog initiated by Bronwyn Eastley in Tasmania. The design team is made up of Stampin' Up! demonstrators from all parts of Australia and New Zealand.You are at the blog of Rachel Palmieri, Independent Stampin' Up!® demonstrator. I run classes at my home studio in South Morang, Victoria, share Stampin' Up!® products and tools at parties for my customers, coach my lovely team and create cards and the occasional 3D project. Our inspiration picture this challenge features Highland Heather, Purple Posy and Garden Green.


It is quite fun sometimes to have a restricted colour palette, and this inspiration picture totally suggested which stamp to pick up.


Beautiful Friendship is a favourite stamp of mine from page 123 Annual Catalogue. I've used it lots in the last fortnight, it will feature in my October classes, both in-person and Craft By Post classes. I've made some packs of cards as raffle prizes too for some craft fairs I will be attending.



Although not strictly part of the colours, Perennial Essence DSP was close enough, used discreetly in the background. It adds a lovely bit of interest in the background.



Roses are a very easy-to-use stamp from Beautiful Friendship, a pair of roses, which you can see again on the inside of the card, and a small-ish single bloom. Two different leaf stamps allow you to scatter greenery wherever you choose, and the other flower might be wisteria, lilac or even buddliea (butterfly bush).



On To Adventure is a funny little stamp with comical people of mature years going on holiday, retiring etc. but I love this sweet verse which I've stamped on the inside of my congratulations card.

Now you are hopping over to Nikki Spencer and her fabulous project.

Ready To Party CI#60



 Colour INKspiration is a fortnightly blog initiated by Bronwyn Eastley in Tasmania.

What a buzz when you actually achieve a challenge! I feel privileged to be a part of the Colour INKspiration design team, because the fortnightly challenge to create and share is a real motivator. I would never have thought to use these colours with this stamp under normal circumstances, but I am so pleased with how it turned out. I've added in Basic Black, Smokey Slate & So Saffron Stampin' Blends for hair and clothing, but the majority of the palette is true.



I'm a big fan of Young At Heart, these giddy gals look like tons of fun to hang out with! Just like my pals when we get around to going on the town (it's a rare event these days, but summer may induce more socialising).



The Flirty Flamingo version was made for a friend turning fifty. That would probably be my usual colour choice, but I have to admit that the challenge-version then influenced the clothing colours on my friend's card. She didn't make a big deal of her Big 0 birthday and is actually going to celebrate by going hiking in Tasmania, but you can't let a significant birthday pass unnoticed.


I've used the sentiment from Delightful Day to decorate the inside, with a little colouring here as well. Tomorrow night at 8 p.m. I have another blog going live using these stamps again, in a much simpler version. #simplestamping in fact.



Now it is time to hop on over to the amazing Julia Quinn

Daisy, Daisy CI#59

Isn't this just the prettiest, softest colour scheme ever? I just love these sweet colours and decided to tie it in with Daisy Lane, using a little bottle I have as further inspiration. I am very partial to blue and Seaside Spray would have to be a favourite of mine. It is one of the new InColors, so will be current until June 2021 and it is available in card, ink pad, ink refill, Stampin' Marker and Blends - so many choices!!!!!


This is a third daisy included in Daisy Lane. It doesn't have a matching punch or anything, but it is very pretty. As I stamped on thick Whisper White in Smokey Slate, I rotated the image slightly each time. The background was coloured with Seaside Spray Stampin' Blends and I purposely used the darker one around the flower and didn't blend it in.


Two medium daisies were stamped, punched and placed at the edge of the labels. The sentiment is a new one from a stamp set in the Annual catalogue, Welcome To The Team. Those pieces were hand trimmed.



Next stop along this hop is our guest designer, Denise Buetler. Denise lives in Western Australia and was a winner in a recent challenge. Please pop over to see her AMAZING project!
