JustRite Friday Challenge #112 - Color Inspiration




JRFC112
 JustRite is having a Color Inspiration this week so, all you need to do is simply create a card or project using the colors and inspiration photo provided. Well it's been awhile since I have done a card or even done a challenge. My mojo has been AWOL since Christmas. So I started off using a light peach metallic paper for the base which is a 5"x 7" finished card size. I then used Kaisercraft collection called "Key to my Heart" for the rest. For the first layer I used a light blue paper and I over stamped in the four corners using corner stamp using a stamp from the JustRite collection called Lace Vintage Labels Three using Tim Holtz Distress ink called 'Tumbled Glass'. I also did it on the second paper using the same stamp but changed the ink colour to Antique Linen. For the third layer I using this technique by Splitcoaststampers called 'Layered Gesso Background' to add some interest. I then stamped the medallion from the same stamp set using Versamark and embossed using Ranger's  'Gilded Gold'. I then coloured some of medallion using Lindy's Stamp Gang Magicals called 'Blue Hawaiian blue'. I then stamped the corner twice, again using Versamark and embossed using Ranger's  'Gilded Gold'. Then I painted the corners using the same colour which I then popped it up using pop up dots on top of the medallion. From the same stamp set, I used the sentiment which I used black crafter's ink to ink the stamp and used clear embossing powder, stamping on the middle part of the medallion which I cut out using scissors. I cut out 2 corners using Filigree Corners by Becca Feeken using gold glitter paper. I added 3 kinds of seam binding by Stampin'Up in the following colours; Crumb Cake, Baja Breeze and Rose Red. I added a red Velvet Wild Rose flower by Petaloo.

So that's a wrap for 2013, it was a really busy year for me being on 5 different Design Teams which I have truly enjoyed all of them. I have decided that in 2014, I would take a break from Design Teams and truly do something for me whether it was Mix Media, or Scrapbooking, teaching or just making cards for myself. Who knows? I have signed up for  3 online courses which will hopefully give me some more inspiration, anyways I will leave you with this "May all your "new beginnings" be happy ones and for those of you who are looking for one I hope the one you find fills your heart and your mind with everything positive. "To new beginnings and happy fresh starts"! CHEERS!!" Stay Inky!!!
