Colour INKspiration Challenge #66 Blog Hop

Hey guys. Spring is well and truly happening here in Australia so why not really get Spring-y with some gorgeous colours for our Colour INKspiration challenge? You can use 3 or more of the colours.

As we are in the middle of Summer over Christmas I thought that these colours would be great for a fun, fresh Southern Hemisphere Christmas card. I've used all of the colours except Coastal Cabana.

The background was created using a fun technique using stencils and heat embossing. You can see a quick video on how I made it in this post. This background was actually left over from a class I held on Monday using this technique. It just happened to be in Pineapple Punch .... the perfect base!

The baubles and holly are from a really fabulous bundle called Christmas Gleaming. As it gets closer to Christmas (and time quickly gets away from me) I know I will be using this stamp set and the 2 coordinating punches a lot. You can quickly make 3D baubles by stamping and punching 3 baubles, folding in half and gluing the halves to each other. Once dry, I used a hole punch so I could attach the twine. Love quick and easy projects that look more complicated! Minimum effort, maximum effect all the way!
