Colour INKspiration 3rd Birthday Blog Hop - Painted Poppies

Wow, I can't believe the Colour INKspiration team are celebrating their third birthday today and I felt so honored to be asked back, as a past team member, to be part of the blog hop today.

If you've hopped here from the amazing Julia Quinn then welcome or if you have joined the hop from my blog, make sure you hop back and check out Julia's gorgeous creation. Her work is always beautiful!!

So Bronwyn allowed us to pick any colour combo I wanted and I was instantly going to go with a Crumb Cake and Coastal Cabana combo, but then I thought about which stamps I wanted to use and I really couldn't go past the gorgeous poppies. And so with that in mind, my colours for the hop today are, Poppy Parade, Black and Gold,

And here is the card that I created with those colours.

How beautiful is this poppy stamp! I can already tell, this whole suite; paper, stamps, dies and embellishments are going to be a huge seller. Plus the new scalloped stitched rectangles are a must have for absolutely everyone.

The sentiment is actually from a carryover set called Gather Together, and i thought the font and sentiment was perfect for this card.

So guys, a few important notes for you. You can enter as many times as you like and the challenge will run for a whole month over the summer ‘break’ until February the 10^th. That gives you plenty of time to create something gorgeous, just like yourselves.
 
Now, seems the perfect time for you to hop on over and check out the next amazing card, which happens to be super talented and very dear friend Denita Wright-Smee. You are going to love what she has to share with you all.

Happy Crafting,
Chloe

Happy New Year 2020 - Golden Honey DSP

Happy last day of 2019 people!! How amazing that tomorrow will be new decade. This is actually the start of my 5th decade and I'm not even 40 yet, how cool is that.

And to kick off the new year, I decided to send my team a Happy New Years card, which you can see below. Now before I show it to you I wanted to tell you a little secret. This card is the only one I sent and it went to all of my team members. Yep, I sent one card to everyone on my team. Confused? Well I sent the card to one person in my team and I wrote my goal for this year inside it. Now, when that team member receives it, they will write their goal for 2020, in the same card and send it on to yet another teamie. Eventually once everyone has received the card, it will arrive back to me with everyone's goals and dreams all listed inside of it. Isn't that a cool idea!!

I kept the card fairly simple as i wanted the sentiment to really be the star of the card. Plus as it needs to go through the postal system quiet a few times, it has to hold up to all of that handling too.

I really love the sentiment and it comes from one of my favourite stamps, Strong and Beautiful, which can be found in our Annual Catalogue. This set has so many beautiful sentiments and I thought this one was perfect for this card.

Well, I had better get this card in the mail and send it on it's merry adventure. I hope you have a wonderful 2020 and that there is lots of crafting in your future!!

Happy Crafting,
Chlo
