Creative Inspiration with a Colour Combination
Here's this month's colour combination:
And here's the project it inspired:
The Gathering Together Suite Collection is one of the suites added to our Online Exclusives Collection this month. The scripted sentiments focus on gratitude, and they are accompanied by leaf and other forest imagery with coordinating dies. Â
A rectangle of the dark bark patterned paper
from the Gathering Together 12" x 12" Designer Series paper measuring 3" x 4¼" was adhered to a layer of Crushed Curry Cardstock (measuring 3⅛" x 4⅜"). The 'Many Thanks' sentiment was stamped on Basic Beige Cardstock using Cajun Craze Classic Stampin' Ink™, and then cut out using a circle die from the Spotlight on Nature Dies (measuring approximately 2¾" in diameter). The die-cut circle was adhered towards the top of the DSP rectangle using Stampin' Dimensionals™.
The three leaf images
from the Gathering Moments Cling Stamp Set were stamped on Basic Beige Cardstock using Cajun Craze and Crushed Curry ink, and die cut using the coordinating dies from the Gathering Moments Dies. These were then added at the base of the die-cut circle, using Mini Glue Dotsâ„¢ and Stampin' Dimensionals.
The completed panel was adhered to a folded Early Espresso card base, and Loose Gold Sequins added as embellishments using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
As you can see, it’s a busy and exciting time in the Stampin’ Up! world—and I’d love for you
to be part of it all.Â
Â
Whether you’re joining me for an upcoming class, playing with Paper Pumpkin, or just finding a quiet moment to create, I hope you’re feeling inspired to get your stamps, ink, and paper out this week.
Â
Until next time, happy stamping—and don’t forget to share your beautiful creations. They always brighten my day!Â
