Inspired by Stamping Challenge 63

I have had so much fun making my 3 cards for the

Inspiration Challenges over at the Inspired by Stamping Home

http://joannamunster.com/

and here is the 3rd one which is absolutely gorgeous.

I recently purchased the hexagon embossing folder 

from Stampin' Up and to my delight the 

Inspired by Stamping hexagon stamp set fits perfectly in it. WOW.

So of course that is what I decided to do 

for this really beautiful colour combination.

I was sooooo pleased with how my card looked when I finished it.

I used - 

Cream card stock 

Various designer paper for the background and hexagons inside

Stampin' Up hexagon embossing folder

IBS Hexagon Stamp Set

IBS Crocher Trim

IBS Flower in centre

Rhinestones

So glad you came by to see this card. Thank you so much.

Here I am again with my second card for the challenge below

IBS Inspiration Challenge 62

I love making cards for colour challenges. They are so much fun.

The one above I thought I would go for a CAS look 

- and here it is

Again I have used white card stock as my base

Added some mottled green dp and heat embossed the images in white,

 a plain strip of brown paper (it does look black) to the top and a

piece of the same colour to the bottom with a MS punched edge.

The sentiment is from GinaK as is the stamped image 

which was inked several times.

The little flourish is from IBS All Year Wishes 2 

and I thought it a perfect finish to this card.

I have my 3rd card for the current challenges to upload so come back soon

to see the really lovely colour combination for that one.

It is that time again and Joanna from Inspired by Stamping 

has some beautiful inspirational colour challenges going at present 

and I couldn't resist playing with them

HERE

I thought I would start with the first one below

and here is what I made

I used the following products on this card

White card stock as my base

Designer paper as a backing

The beautiful roses are from Inspired by Stamping Elegant Flowers

Leaves are GinaK Stippled Nature

Butterfly is GinaK Dogwood & Butterfly

Sentiment is Inspired  by Stamping All Year Wishes 2

Kaisercraft Pearls

SU ribbon.

Gell Pen.

I stamped the images onto the white card stock 

and inked and cut out an extra one to pop on the right hand side.

The butterfly is heat embossed and inked with distress inks and also popped.

Added some highlights to the lovely roses with a glitter gel pen

Finished with 3 pearls.

I am also entering this card in the current
