Sweet Colours CTC#461

Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn



Tonight I’m sharing some colour fun with the Casing the Catty Crew!! 


 To Case it to Copy and Share Everything or to Copy And Selectively Edit and we love to CASE from our amazing Stampin’ Up! Catalogues (CATTY)


This week, we are CASEING the colours of the super sweet Lighter than Air DSP.  I’ve been inspired by the card in the middle!!


I’ve CASED the layout completely and most of the colours.  For my Balmy Blue layer, I sponged with some white ink and masks to try and recreate the patterned crossed paper.


My photos are replacing the hot air balloon as the focal point but basically everything else is pretty much the same.  I’ve used the Lazy Days bundle for the clouds and stamping.


I hope you’re inspired by these pretty colours too!!  

Keep hopping to see lots of great inspiration!

Stippled Rose messy watercolouring


Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn


Today, I'm joining in a fabulous colour challenge - do you like these colours together?


I thought they were perfect colours for our gorgeous Stippled Rose bundle.


I have created a very simple card.  I stamped using Saddle Brown Staz On ink onto watercolour paper.


The watercolour paper was mounted onto white and then onto a white cardbase!!  The watercolouring is very messy (I was going for an artistic look!!)  I love the way the ink and water blends on water colour paper.  


Inside the card is some more little flowers to make it look pretty!!

Scrapbooking Paul McCartney concert!!


Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn!!


Today, I'm sharing some scrapbooking!!  Woohoo.


I've actually created a very simple page - the photos aren't mounted onto mats and theres just a few fussy cut and coloured images and some background stamping.


I do like to get carried away sometimes scrapbooking, but this page is all about the photos!  


I've used the fabulous Enjoy the Rhythm stamp set as well as an old favourite Quiet Meadow for background stamping.


My colours are:  Azure Afternoon, Basic White and Basic Black - and totally inspired by the photos!


I hope you're inspired to immortalise those photos you have a fabulous events and ordinary life!!  

Make sure you keep hopping to see LOTS of great inspiration! .

Adding MORE to your card CTC#460


Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.


Tonight I'm joining our awesome Sunday Night Blog Hop CASEING the CATTY!!


To CASE is to Copy And Share Everything, or to Copy And Selectively Edit and we love to CASE from our amazing Stampin' Up! catalogues.  This week, we are CASEING and stepping up - which means adding more to the card!


As you can see (hopefully), I had no creative imagination this week - so I just CASED the whole page from the catalogue almost exactly - except for the stamp set.  


I've used the Simply Zinnia's bundle (new in our ONline Exclusives this month) and coloured using Water colour pencils for the step 1 card, and then I used Stampin' Blends for the step 2 AND step 3 cards.


Even though the step 1 card is very simple - it was rather lovely just colouring with the water pencils.


This step 2 card (without the die cutting and extra designer paper) is actually my favourite!!  I really like the background stamping on the card base too.  


Inside the card is some basic colouring again.  The colours I've used are:  Tahitian Tide, Blueberry Bushell and Azure Afternoon.  I really like these colours together. 

Make sure you keep hopping to see lots of great ideas.
