Colour INKspiration #203 - Balmy Blue, Azure Afternoon & Smoky Slate Video process

 

Welcome to Colour INKspiration Challenge #ci203 Balmy Blue, Azure Afternoon and Smoky Slate. This colour palette was chosen by crew member Monica Formosa. Pleased to welcome our guest designer Verity Pursglove who was #ci201 challenge winner. Congratulations Verity <3

Please join us on this challenge, it is always FUN to see what others create with this colour palette.

Join us in creating a new project for the #ci203 challenge which ends on 23rd Feb. 
You must use Balmy Blue, Azure Afternoon and Smoky Slate,  BUT you can also add Basic White, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Basic Beige, Basic Black and metallics to your project. We also allow ‘Ivory’, ‘Bronze’ and ‘Natural Tones’ in the Stampin’ Blends. If you don’t have the colours in our palette, feel free to use the closest Stampin’ Up! (or any other brand) 

Each of the Colour INKspiration Team Members upload their INKspiration into this album Hopefully this inspires you to try your own variation.

This colour challenge certainly created a few challenges for me. BUT I got there in the end after using our Stampin' Up! Online Store to search the colours that are in this palette to guide me with what products I could use. I initially started out with a completely different set of products to what I used in my design that you seen shown here in my YouTube video

This video shows the process of making these cards, I used lots of different products. All products are Stampin' Up! and are currently all available in my Online Store.

World Card Making Day 2021- CASE the Design/Designer

 Welcome to Studio Shabaz Blog, today I am celebrating
World Card Making Day 2021 #WCMD2021
All around the world there are workshops/classes
being held by Stampin' Up! Demonstrators.
Please join us by clicking on the World Card Making Day 2021 group.

I am a part of a small group of 7 fellow Demonstrators from all over the world
who want to showcase the variety of styles of card making on this very day. 
Our friend Vicky Wright formed this FB World Card Making Day group and we all play our part to create a Make N Take card for our demonstration along with a <20 min video.

So I decided to CASE the design/designer, I love to CASE other peoples designs and put my
own spin on it simply by adding a different element or two. 
What better place to find inspiration than our very own Stampin' Up! catalogue.
So if you flick to page 13 in our 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue you can see the design I cased.

I chose to use one of my favourite stamp/die bundles from the AC on pg 105
Hand-Penned Petals is a photopolymer stamp set.

Along with the HOSTESS reward Pattern Party DSP AC pg 171

You will see here the Supply List to complete my card.
