My Inky Friends Challenge #8 - Color!

http://myinkyfriends.blogspot.com/2018/07/my-inky-friends-design-challenge-8.html

Hello Inky Friends! This month's challenge is a color challenge, and I LOVE it! I never would have thought to put all those colors together at the same time, but they totally work! I had so many ideas it was hard to pick just one, but I finally decided to take Serene Garden for a spin, since I hadn't inked it up yet.

Heart's Delight Cards, Serene Garden, Thinking of You, MIFDC8, Stampin' Up!

All the images were stamped on Shimmery White cardstock and colored with an Aqua Painter dipped in the ink inside the lids of the ink pads. You can either put a drop of ink refill in the lid, or squeeze the front and back of the case together to transfer some ink from the foam pad onto the lid.

To see what the Design Team came up with for this color challenge, just click the banner at the top of the page. We would love it if you would play along with our challenge! It's not hard, just follow a few simple guidelines:

1. For a sketch challenge, follow the general design of the sketch, although it can be flipped. For a color challenge, Stampin' Up! colors are listed. You can use compatible colors and add neutrals as needed.
2. Create something new that has not been posted before.
3. Post your creation on your blog or online gallery, and please provide a link back to our challenge. Provide a direct link to your project or post to the Linky on the challenge page. 
4. Feel free to combine up to three challenges, as long as you include a link to the Inky Friends post.
5. Most important of all - have fun!

Only One More Week

The end of the month is rapidly approaching, and with it comes the end of two fabulous promotions. The first deal is the Buy 3 Get 1 Free Designer Series Paper promo. This is a great way to add to your stash, or stock up on the Under the Mistletoe Christmas DSP so you can start those holiday cards. It will be here before you know it!!!


The second is the additional TEN INK PADS for free in the starter kit. I honestly don't understand why more people don't take advantage of the starter kit deal. Not only do you get to choose $125 in products for only $99, but the shipping is free on the kit. And this month you get to choose which color collection you want in the ten free ink pads!


That's it - there is no other obligation. There is absolutely nothing to lose, so why not try it and get the awesome deal? And this month I'm adding the coordinating cardstock assortment to match your ink pads, so you get even more fun stuff!

More Darling Label Cuteness

Heart's Delight Cards, Darling Label Punch Box, Thanks, Thank You, Stampin' Up!

Here's another card using the same stamp and layout as Saturday's card, but with a completely different look. This one is more soft and feminine, whereas the other card was more bold.

Instead of using leaf die cuts, I used some beautiful Delightfully Detailed Laser-Cut Specialty Paper. A couple of quick snips released the border from the sheet so it could be glued to the card. Flirty Flamingo DSP makes the Flirty Flamingo flowers really pop.  Thanks to Stampin' Blends, the flowers and leaves were colored faster than a New York minute!

Everything else is the same as the other card, just different colors and die cuts. Isn't it amazing (and awesome) the different looks you can get using the same stamp?! Same stamp and pack of DSP, totally different feel.
