Inspire.Create.Challenges – Colour Challenge. This is an amazing colour challenge. Such bright and springlike colours. Just what we need at the moment with our slightly changeable weather of sunshine one day and rain the next. Poppy Parade, Pumpkin Pie and Granny Apple Green. WOW! I decided that I had to pull my Abstract Impressions Bundle set for this.

As this is CASE the catalogue fortnight, I have, of course, done just that. Page 128 is full of inspiration for the Abstract Impressions Stamp and Bundle set. I have used the Bundle, it save 10%, so is always a great idea if you think you are going to want both (but only until the end of 3rd June!!) Both are carrying over to the new catalogue, but as separate items.

For the die cut element I chose to use re-inkers and the largest Clear Block. Just scribble the colours across the block, spritz with water and lay your watercolour paper over the top. This is going to get messy, but soap and water (and possibly a scrubbing brush) will deal with that. When it is dry, die cut the flower corner. I added second generation Granny Apple Green grass behind the lowest corner of the mat.

The sentiment is in Granny Apple Green and die cut with the new Nested Label Dies coming on 4th June (#149638). I added more Granny Apple Green with the Ribbon, mat and Glitter Dots. The finished card is bright and sunny, which is exactly what I was hoping for. I love the inking technique, you can use it for so many projects and it is so easy.
