Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge # 393 – Colour Challenge

This week’s Hand Stamped Sentiments challenge is an awesome Colour Challenge. Take a look at all the beautiful cards created by our design team and then join the challenge.

This card was created with the Splendid Thoughts Bundle. I used In Colour 2022-2024 Glimmer Paper for the greenery and to create the background I used the fabulous Silver and Gold 6X6 DSP from our Sale-a-bration offerings – with Coastal Cabana Ink blended onto it. You can earn this DSP for FREE with a $60CAD purchase.

All of the supplies I used to create today’s card are listed below and on this handy printable recipe card.

You can place an order by contacting me directly or clicking on the image(s) below.

Summer Sale-a-Bration 2022 – Perfect Pomegranate card

It’s the BEST time of year to shop at Stampin’ Up! – SALE-a-bration!!! For every $60CAD you spend you can earn FREE SAB items!

Today’s card was created using the Perfect Pomegranate HOST stamp set (FREE with a $375CAD party or personal purchase). It was also inspired by the TGIF Challenge (#tgifc376)

I used Sweet Sorbet and Crushed Curry inks to create these vibrant Pomegranate flowers. Then I blended the colour using a Blender Pen, which softened the image and brought out more of the orange in Sweet Sorbet.

To add a little interest to the background I also used clear embossing powder on the pomegranate seeds – hard to see in my photos, but beautiful in person.

Stampin’ Up! has also created a few samples in the SAB brochure using the Perfect Pomegranate stamp set.

To see all the details of how I created this card, check out this video. You will also find a full supply list below.

It’s the BEST time of year to shop at Stampin’ Up! – SALE-a-bration!!! For every $60CAD you spend you can earn FREE SAB items!

The Silver & Gold 6×6 DSP (FREE with a $60CAD purchase) and the Making Plans stamp set (Part of the Making Plans Collection that you will receive for FREE when you purchase the Starter Kit for only $135CAD). It was inspired by the TGIF Colour Challenge (tgifc375).

Here is a close up of the Silver & Gold 6X6 DSP. Use it as is, or add some colour to it with your blending brushes. The metallics are a great added detail to any card.
