Beach Wedding

 My customer requested a card to suit a beach wedding, such a pleasure to design this one. This is when it really is an advantage to own a large collection of stamps, because I used a bit of this one and a bit of that. I'm happy to let you know the details if you need to know.

Copper heat embossing has featured on the card, for all the sentiments, as well as the sand and shells at the bottom. Watercolouring is perfect for this type of card too.

There is a layer of copper foil on the inside as well as the outside, for a touch of luxury. There are currently a lovely selection of phrases and sentiments to add to a special card like this.

You can shop for paper, stamps or ink at any time with me, by using the Online Shop. Add the host code, and there'll be extras in the mail when I get back. Order more than $100 using the Host code and you'll go into the draw for  one of these exclusive shopping bags.

Magical Mermaid CI#26

Colour INKspiration has a new colour inspiration for you every fortnight on a Wednesday at 8:00pm. Tonight is that night! The crew 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 love to create cards and the occasional 3D project.

Do fishing nets even come in those beautiful blues and greens? I'm sure I won't be the only person who continues along the maritime theme, but I couldn't go past this pair of mermaids for a young lady who lives on the coast. I actually had never inked up the Magical Mermaid till now, but I've pinned heaps to my Pinterest board!

Tranquil Tide seems a bit washed out from the photography which is a shame, as the colour is quite intense. 

I imagine that it is a mum mermaid and her little one swimming in the ocean and I'm sure Alice will too, since she is sure her mum is a queen and she is a princess. The littlest mermaid is from Magical Day, which has unicorns, wizards and knights. I think it is one of the best kids sets we have had in a while, and not totally restricted to kids either (Dungeons & Dragons, Harry Potter?)

What can you make using Emerald Envy, Bermuda Bay, Tranquil Tide and Sahara Sand? Don't forget to share it on our Facebook page.
