Colour INKspiration Challenge #17 Blog Hop

Welcome back to another Colour INKspiration challenge. We have some beautiful spring colours for you. Spring has sprung here in Australia so these are the perfect colours to celebrate.

My Stampin' Up! order arrived just as I was having a coffee and pondering what to make for this challenge. Talk about good timing! Inside was the Tags and Trimmings bundle. Coffee drunk, idea percolated! I have made a special easel card using Bronwyn Eastley's Coffee Cafe Easel Card tutorial. The tutorial has a neat trick for making easel cards using die cut shapes. Once you have mastered it you can use it with other sets like I have done here.

I am so glad I got this bundle. Right up my alley - lots of bits and pieces plus lots of scope for projects. I thought the colour scheme for our challenge would be perfect for a fun, vibrant stocking.

It was such a windy day today - not ideal for taking photos of easel cards! Some of them became action shots!

 How cute is that pom pom trim? And the stitched detail?

I love this sentiment. The words, the font - perfect! But what is inside you ask?

Well..... there is a sneaky pocket that hides a gift card.

The gift card is held in place with some ribbon and a piece of stamped cardstock. My nephew and niece often put gift cards on their wishlist so I thought this design would be a fun way to 'wrap' my present.

I know I will be using this bundle a lot. So many ideas and so little time as usual!
