Ink and Inspiration Blog Hop February 2022 – Boughs & Blossoms

27 January 2022
10 Comments

27 Jan

Hello, lovely ladies,

Welcome to my blog! My Today’s card is for Ink and Inspiration Blog Hop. 

Blog Hop Theme: – Colour Challenge 

Stampset: Boughs & Blossoms 

All the Stampin’ Up! products I used here are available at my Online Shop. Check out the image at the end of the blog post. It will take you to my Online Shop.

Here are the colours used for Today’s challenge. 
Merry Merlot as Base card – 10.5 cm x 29.7 cm scored @14.9cm 
Layer 1: Fresh Freesia-10 cm x 14.4 cm 
Layer 2: Basic White  9.8cm x 14.2 cm 

I used stencils to blend the colours on the background. Used Merry Merlot in very light shade, Magenta Madness as a next layer, little hard in shading, Highland Heather light shade and finally very light shade of Fresh Freesia.

Then I sprinkled some water into the background to get the light touch. 

I used a layering stencil to colour the flower using the same colours, stamped the leaf in Evening Evergreen, and then fussy cut the flower. 

Adhere the Layers of circles using Highland Heather and Very Vanilla on the background of the stencil flower. 

I stamped the sentiment on Highland Heather cardstock using the Basic White embossing folder. 

Attached is Gold & Rose speciality paper and a little scrap piece of Magenta Madness Cardstock.

Finally, I added the fussy cut stencil flower to the layering circles using stampin’ dimensional. 

. 

I hope you like Today’s card. Check out other blog hop members projects below for more inspiration.

Today’s post is for the Be Inspired Design Team Bl Today’s post is for the Be Inspired Design Team Blog Hop. Every month we have a different theme, and this month it’s all about simple techniques you’ll use forever.
One technique I always go back to is splattering… I like to call it my little “splatter of happiness” 😊 You’ll see it in most of my cards, I just feel it adds that extra touch and makes both me and the person receiving it a little happier.
For this card, I used watercolours to colour the flowers. I actually got this set on OnStage2026 and didn’t use it there with blends, but when I came home I tried it with watercolours instead - and I really love how it turned out! 
Make sure you check out all the other Design Team projects below-you’ll get so many lovely ideas!

One of the best things about OnStage is meeting so One of the best things about OnStage is meeting so many wonderful people #onstage2026 . I was so happy to meet most of my amazing friends. Sharing a few photos I captured during the event. ❤️
Welcome to Hop Abroad March Insta Hop, each month Welcome to Hop Abroad March Insta Hop, each month there is different theme, this month theme is something interesting thats NO STAMPING!
I created this card for today’s challenge - and the fun part is, there is no stamping at all! 😊

Sometimes it’s nice to step outside our usual crafting style and try something different. By playing with colours, layers, and textures, you can still create a beautiful and interesting card. Challenges like this are a great way to spark creativity and try new ideas.
Have you ever made a card without stamping?
