I’m Back………Global Design Project #049 | Colour Challenge

Hi all……

Its been a long time…I have busy over the last month or two with

a new shop that has opened here in my local town. Its called Highland Handmade

( have made reference to it in other posts), in making products to sell.

Good news I’m back!

I have also updated my blog and worked out how to use Lightbox Plugins…

so now you can enlarge the pictures I add.

(so exciting!)

Well this weeks Challenge from Global Design Project is a Colour Challenge

Colour ChallengeLove these 3 colours together, so fresh and since its almost spring I had to do something with flowers.

Now this wasn’t an easy…..I had an idea in my head and everytime time I stamped I made a mistake.

So after multi attempts, this morning it all came together.

2016-08-17 09.00.15These flowers and leaves are a 3 step stamping process.

!. Stamp the outline image of the flower

2. Stamp the flower all over colour ( stamping off to lighten colour onto scratch paper)

3. Stamp detail image.

I have also layered the flowers using a Masking Technique.

The beautiful sentiment I have used from the Floral Phrases Stamps

The inside of the card I have used some of my extra card fronts….trimming the bottom away and mounting it onto

a piece of Daffodil Delight

Now I just need to workout how I’m going to use all the extra flowers I have…LOL!

Yesterday I started working on the cards that we will be making at “Coffee’n’Card” Tuesday (2nd August)

and this will overlap to our Friday Night Card class with 2 extra cards to match.

IMAG1258

The Card on the right was CASed from a card Stampin’ Up! suggested for a class,

but I have made a couple of small changes and now it would also make a fantastic Christmas Card…

just by changing the sentiment.

Here is a card that I have been working on using sponging to get the different tones on my flowers.

I used 4 different colours for the flower head – Pink Pirouette, Sweet sugarplum, Perfect Plum and Wisteria Wonder.

And for the stem – Pear Pizzazz and Old Olive.

Once completed and cut..a bit of scrunching a touch of “Wink of Stella”

(maybe a bit more than a touch- I squeezed a bit too hard), and a few peals to finish.

Remember this is ONLY available for one month starting on the 2nd of August

You will find this item in my STORE on the 2nd August.

There’s a new business opening soon near me…..

I’m so excited….

There is a new business open up here in Moss Vale.

Moss Vale is a quite little farming community (this how I look at it),

its part of 3 major towns Mittagong, Bowral and Moss Vale and then lots of little outlying villages.

And we make up part of an area called Southern Highlands.

Its a tourist area will Berrima being one of its major draw cards.

We’re not far outside Sydney so is always great for a drive in the country.

Well to get back to Moss Vale and new business…..the business is called

“Highlands Handmade”

And the EXCITING bit is…… I will have my cards and other crafts items there to sell.

So if ever you are down this way call into Moss Vale and call in to see Angus

and have a look at what the locals here can make.

Now!…..it’s NOT open yet, so I will let you know when the doors are open.

SO STAY TUNED!
