Take 5 Challenge With Totally Turquoise and Waterfall Inks

Hi Sylvia here with two quick cards for the Take 5 April Challenge Something Blue.  I like to keep a selection of simple cards to hand which can be used for any occasion, especially thank you cards.  These cards are quick to make and look good in any colour.  Blue is one of my favourite colours especially the totally turquoise and waterfall pure colour chemistry inks. 

This card uses totally turquoise Pure Colour Chemistry ink for the background

To make my two cards I coloured two squares of stamping card one with totally turquoise and the other with waterfall spray ink and stamped randomly with a selection of small stamps using the triple sky blue ink pad.  The daisies were die cut from a baby wipe used to mop up the blue inks, these were overstamped with small stamps using the darkest shade on the triple sky blue ink pad and added to the stamped squares.  These squares were matted and layered with navy card then onto a white linen card blanks.

 This card uses  Waterfall Pure Colour Chemistry ink for the background

This type of quick card is ideal for any occasion and makes a lovely gift if presented in a set with envelopes and a ribbon tied round.

Materials Used:

• Pure colour Chemistry Inks in Totally Turquoise and Waterfall 
• Triple Sky Blue pigment ink pad
• White Stamping Card
• Stamps - Sunshine Sentiment & Texture Set and Texture Elements

Keep checking the blog for more Something Blue projects from the design team throughout April.

Something Blue Challenge ~ Rose Bumper Collection

Elaine here with an 8" x 8" card for the April Take 5 Challenge where the theme is Something Blue.

 For this card I've chosen the  Rose Bumper Collection set of stamps - there are 12 stamps in the set, the focal rose, borders, backgrounds and sentiments so it's really useful.  The background is a mix of  Totally Turquoise and Tempting Teal Pure Colours sprayed onto the card and moved around with the solid rose stamp.  Over that I've added the Rose Border and Outline Rose stamped with Midnight Pigment Ink.  The main Rose is embossed with Copper Embossing Powder and then painted with Tempting Teal and Paris Pink Pure Colours.  I had a little Paris Pink left over on my mat so picked this up with the Solid Rose to create the border. It's just finished with the sentiment again embossed in Copper.

Hope you are inspired by my projects. Please keep visiting to see more projects by the Take 5 Team!

Join in our new challenge.

As we move into Summer I know the Design Team struggle to keep making and posting, so I often look for guest designers. This year I came up with the idea of combining the best the team and some specially selected Guest designers. So for 5 months I am going to be running challenges that will feature 5 designers, sending you short posts you can check out in 5 minutes. So there you have it TAKE 5.
Here is a card I made on Hochanda recently. I really loved this one, quite simple and made with just one sheet of Stamping Card.

It inspired me to decorate the envelope too. I used Waterfall Pure Colour chemistry ink and Midnight Colour Chemistry Pigment ink pad with some clear embossing powder. The stamp used is the Clematis Tower

This project also inspired the first challenge, so for April the Challenge is make "Something Blue".
