Framed Violets for CI#211

Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.

Tonight I'm joining in with the Colour INKspiration crew and our awesome colour combination!!

These is such a super pretty combination!!  Initially I wanted to avoid a flower theme, but in the end I just had to do it!!

I've used a combination of the lovely Framed Violets bundle with the Lovely Arrangements bundle for the larger flowers.  

I love all those sweet little Bubble Bath violets scattered around.  I also really love the white gel pen detail on the centre of the Hydrangea Hue sponged large flowers. 

I've also used this same design for a very special card for a friend - but I do think I prefer the card with only the three larger flowers.  

These colours are just sooo sweet together.  

Can you see the little bit of sparkle I've used on the flowers and leaves using the Shimmer Brush in the Peaceful Pine and Hydrangea Hue?

Banner Sayings CASE CTC#573

Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.

Tonight you get to enjoy our amazing CASEING the CATTY blog hop.  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 (catty!)

This week, we are CASEING a punch bundle project from our new catalogue.

I hope you can see the influence for my card - it's very similar - I've only changed the paper really!!  

This paper is shiny and absolutely stunning!!  It's the Scenic Coast paper - it's 6 x 6 inches and features lots of gorgeous sunsets/ sunrises in gorgeous colours.

The die cuts around the greetings are from the Rolling Waves dies and I've used the reverse side of this paper!!  The stamping is from the lovely Banner Sayings bundle and I've used Azure Afternoon ink.

Up next is the extraordinary Monique
