Guest Designer for Inkspirations!
Yep that’s me. I know!! I still can’t believe it myself but it’s true. Keesh has asked me to be the Inkspirations Guest Designer for the month of April for which I am truly honoured and grateful (ok and slightly excited!)
Most of you know that Keesh and I have been friends since our very first meeting at our upline Ngaire’s home when Stampin’ Up! first launched in Australia. We clicked from the minute we met and she has been an enormous support and strength to me since then, not to mention we just LOVE to have a laugh together! I am missing my dear friend since she left for Cairns but the miles are few and far between when it comes to a good friend so thank goodness for cheap phone rates and the internet hey?!
Ok, so to get the ball rolling, we have a colour challenge this week.
I have to be honest and say I haven’t used Brocade Blue for such a long time but that’s what is so great about these challenges – they stretch your way of thinking and make you step outside of your comfort zone. I chose to showcase one of our new stamp sets from the Autumn/Winter Mini Catalogue which is called Medallion. It’s so elegant and stylish and really doesn’t need a lot of work to make it look pretty showy.
Stamp set: Medallion, Vintage Labels (Sale-A-Bration)
Cardstock: Brocade Blue, Chocolate Chip, Creamy Caramel, Very Vanilla
Inks: Creamy Caramel, Chocolate Chip
Accessories: Scallop circle punch, daubers, Chocolate Chip wide ribbon 3/4″ circle punch, Pretties Kit
Pop on over to the Design Team members and check out their take on the challenge. These girls are amazing and are indeed an Inkspiration!
You can join in too! Just pop on over to Keesh’s blog and submit your entry with Mr Linky. It’s super easy to do. I look forward to seeing your creations soon!
Happy Easter! Have a safe and enjoyable long weekend. God bless.
