Delicate Forest - Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop - Jan 2024

I am so pleased to be participating in the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop for January with a Colour Inspiration Challenge! Be sure to hop along with the list below to see the gorgeous projects from my talented colleagues!

This beautiful photo was our inspiration for this Colour Challenge.

It was the first 3 colours that grabbed my attention. They are some of my favourites for creating sunsets! I decided to use a fun technique on my new Glass Mat. I started by colouring strips directly on the Glass Mat, in a rectangle shape which matches the size of my Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper layer. I used Stampin' Write Markers in Poppy Parade, Melon Mambo and Daffodil Delight. The grid lines in the mat made it really easy!

I then used a Stampin' Spritzer to spray water on the coloured rectangle.

Next came the Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper which I pressed into the ink.

I used a Heat Tool to dry the layer and then attached it to a Basic Black mat.

I also die cut several pieces in Basic Black from the Delicate Forest Dies and attached them to the coloured layer.

I wrapped black twine from the Baker's Twine Essentials Pack around the layer, crossing in front and attaching it on the back. The sentiment, from the Delicate Forest Stamp Set, is stamped in Versamark and heat embossed with White Stampin' Emboss Powder. I adhered it over the twine with Black Stampin' Dimensionals.

I attached the layer to a Melon Mambo card base and added a Basic White insert. I finished the card with 3 of the 2022-2024 In Color Pearls.

Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop - Last Chance Products

Welcome to December's blog hop! Our theme this month is "Last Chance Products" from the September - December 2023 Mini Catalogue and I chose to use the retiring Above It All Bundle along with the Fragrant Forest Stamp which is not retiring! As of this writing, the Above It All Dies (162172) are available on sale for 30% off but products are starting to sell out! I'm going to use mine for scrapbooking, too! Be sure to hop around below to see the projects made by my talented teammates!

My card was inspired by the Hell's Gate Airtram not too far from my home in Hope, British Columbia!

The card base is Garden Green and the mat is Basic Black. I stamped the Fragrant Forest Stamp in Shaded Spruce ink on Basic White cardstock. I then took a Blending Brush and added Garden Green ink over the whole piece to make it more spring-like. If you'd like it to be more of a winter scene, just leave the ground white!

After adhering the trees panel to the Basic Black mat, I wrapped some Black & White Gingham Ribbon around the panel, on an angle, and taped it on the back. I then adhered the panel to the card base.

I die cut all the pieces for the tram in Poppy Parade, Basic White, Holographic Trio silver paper and Vellum cardstock, and glued them together. I adhered this to the card using Stampin' Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment in Versamark on Basic Black and heat embossed with White Stampin' Emboss Powder. This sentiment is from the Above It All Stamp Set but you can add any sentiment you'd like!

Enjoy Hopping!
