Welcome back for another Colour INKspiration challenge. This inspiration picture which has inspired our colour palette was chosen by Crew Member, Bronwyn Eastley. Aren't they a stylish lot of colours!
As soon as I saw these colours I thought of the Shining Brightly Designer Series Paper. It has some gorgeous Night of Navy paper, which funnily enough I didn't end up using. I used one of the Very Vanilla and gold pieces to create my origami star.
The star is detachable so the recipient can pop it on their Christmas Tree!
This is one of the cards featuring in one of my upcoming classes. Let me know if you'd like to learn how to make it and other fab cards.
The Stars At Night bundle is stunning! It contains an amazing Hybrid Embossing Folder. Can you see the depth of the embossing? Gorgeous!
The sentiment die cut was the perfect shape for me to thread my decoration hanger through. I am sure I will be making a lot of these!
****Edited- This star is something I have been making for years and I originally found it in an origami book for children when I was teaching primary school children. I can't add a copy of that here due to copyright but if you do an internet search for 'origami star pentagon' you will find many tutorials. I have just spent a bit of time getting the pentagon templates just right in 2 perfect sizes - one for 6" x 6" paper and a larger one where I will be able to get 2 from a 12" x 12" piece of paper. I've added the templates here if you would like to use. I'd love it if you would link back to me if you use it online. It is set up for A4 paper so if you are printing on a different size paper remember to make sure you keep the original size and not shrink to fit.
Download the Origami Star Pentagon Template here.
You simply cut each template out and trace around it on the back of the DSP. For the large template you can fit 2 on a 12" x 12" piece of paper and it works best to trace the 2 before cutting as the top sides butt up against each other.
If you'd love to come to a class in my Buderim Studio please send me a message.

ReplyDeleteAwesome project Lou! Will definitely be giving this a try. I am waiting for the bundle to arrive, unfortunately the paper is not back in stock yet. Will have to wait a bit longer for it. Thanks for your inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Connie. The paper is well worth waiting for. Happy creating.
