Hello and welcome to the Inspire.Create Stamping Challenge. I am Karen Farquhar from Australia. Today we have been set a colour challenge. The colours being Shades of Blue and Green.


I have gone with a Christmas theme using a very pretty new stamp set Joyful Tidings that landed in my letter box this week. 



 I have water coloured the background on a 5" x 5" piece of basic white thick card stock in a Stampin' Up! Pool Party ink wash. People often argue that the colour Pool Party is green but I think it is more a shade of blue. However either way it meets this challenge.

The wreath was then stamped using the baby wipe technique in Stampin' Ups! Night of Navy and Highland Heather ink refills. I have stamped the image in each corner to form a wreath.
Then I silver embossed another wreath image over the top. The sentiment is from the Stampin' Up's! Jolly Holly stamp set and the die from the Words for the Season Stampin' Cut & Emboss Dies.

I hope you like my project today and I have inspired you to enter the challenge. You can see more inspiration from our talented team over on the Inspire.Create. Stamping Challenges blog site.
