Inkspirations Colour Challenge #6

Hi!
I'm back with an attempt at Makeesha's Inkspiration colour challenge for this week. I really enjoy giving them a go! It was especially good to have a play with purely pomegranate before it's gone!
I have to be quick with this post as I'm supposed to be getting organised to go off to Melbourne tomorrow...but you know how it is...just need to fit in a challenge & some card making first!
So here's my creation which is a CASE of a card on the cover of the new catalogue...so exciting!
Check out Makeesha's blog for the colour details.......

Stamp sets: Eastern Blooms & Cheer & Wishes Other: Pretties kit, scallop punch, pomegranate double stitched ribbon, paper piercer & mat pack.

Have a good week...I'll be back after Melbourne!

Sketch Challenge #5 Take 2!

Couldn't resist another go at Makeesha's sketch challenge - I wanted to use colours other than pink, (which I just can't stop using lately!), and wanted to see if I could make something quite different from my first card here.

So, this is take 2:

Unfortunately, the angle of the photo is not great & it was taken at the wrong time of day for the light....but, oh well, it was the best I could manage.....

Stamps: Eastern blooms, short & sweet, linen background (can't see in this photo though) Ink & card: Taken with teal, apricot appeal, groovy guava, certainly celery, bali breeze dsp Other: Fire rhinestone brads, celery grosgrain, paper piercing tool & mat, sponges, nestabilities circle & scallop circle dies (non SU!).

Oooh, not long now until us demos get sneak previews from the new SU! catalogue - SO looking forward to seeing all the new stamps & stuff!

Have a good long WA weekend!

Diary dress up!

This afternoon I gave my work diary a Stampin' Up! makeover, and as you can see in this before photo, it sure needed it!!

This is how it looked after the transformation.......Taa Daa......!

I had decided to use the Bali Breeze paper & then saw Jayne Mercer's card for Kristina's challenge this week & just had to CASE her Eastern Blooms flower design. I have also used Office Accoutrement and the chipboard numbers are SU too, coloured with tempting turquoise ink.

My desk at work will be so much brighter now with my 'new' diary on it!

Have a good week!
