Social Stamping - In Colours

 

Not sure where the month has gone, but we're back Social Stamping with Kelly Kent and friends with our theme this month using "In Colours". 

Given the 2019-2021 In Colours are soon to retire, I thought I would use that set today, but I will share a card I've made previously for a Challenge using the 2020-2022 In Colours further down.

Using Pieced Blooms Dies, I've cut several leaves from Pretty Peacock, and petals in Purple Posy, Rococo Rose and Seaside Spray with some circle centres from Terracotta Tile. To make it easy to put them together I stuck them all to Adhesive sheet and then randomly constructed my flowers.

I've used a base of Thick Basic White and a top layer of Basic White which I embossed with the (sadly) soon to be retired Subtle 3D Embossing Folder. I've layered the embossed piece onto a mat of Terracotta Tile and adhered it to the base card. Then I've popped all the flowers and leaves into place, it's a bit busy and not colours I'd usually use for flowers. 

Next I've added a greeting from Peaceful Moments in Pretty Peacock and diecut with another of the Pieced Blooms dies. A couple of flowers added to the corner and popped onto the card with Stampin' Dimensionals. To finish I've popped a few of the clear Flowers for Every Season Gems into place.

The layers of flowers are balanced with the depth of the greeting:

As mentioned, I have used the 2020-2022 In Colours for a Challenge some time ago and I shall share it here for a totally different way to use the In-colours. If you want further detail, you can find it on my original post.

 I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's ideas today.

Next up we're hopping over to Mandy:

If you get lost along the way, you'll find all the participants back on Kelly's post here. Thanks again Kelly for your time and energy organising our Social Stamping get togethers.

#CTC309 CASE a Bundle from Pg 75-82

 

You'll find a huge range of bundles and examples to be made with them on Pages 75-82 of the January-June Mini Catalogue.

I've chosen the card on the far left of Page 79:

On a base of Basic Black cardstock, I've added a full height panel of True Love Designer Series Paper. I've cut a 4 1/8" square of Basic Black cardstock diagonally in half and trimmed 1/4" off the right hand edge. I've added a small trim of Whisper White cardstock to frame the panel. Yes, I've cheated a little as the original card had a stamped panel, but this way works too. These panels were attached using my multipurpose glue to each edge.

I've cut some flower pieces using the Pieced Blooms Dies out of Poppy Parade and Whisper White cardstock, along with leaves and a bow from Granny Apple Green. I've stamped a greeting from Happy Thoughts in Black Memento Ink onto Whisper White and diecut using the shape from the same Pieced Blooms Dies. All these pieces were glued into place. 

To finish off I've added some embellishments to the panel as per the original. Mine were my go to Flowers for Every Season Gems.

Not like me, but I've even managed to show some inside love today, this time the trim is Granny Apple Green:

Hard to see the bling:

We look forward to you adding your project to our Facebook Challenge page using the link over on the right and tagging it #CTC309 so we can find it, let us know which bundle you are CASEing as well.

Next up we have our friend Siobhan and I can't wait to see what she has to show us this week:
