Gears & Textures inspired by Beautiful Gallery CTC#557

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 any Suite from the Annual Catalogue.

I have chosen to CASE the Beautiful Gallery Suite - in particular the lovely soft colours including Basic Beige, and Grays.  

I've used the amazing Gears and Textures bundle and created a fun multilayered card. There's lots of stamping, but then I covered it all up with the fantastic dies used with the Tungston Textured Foil from the Textured Metallic Foils.

I ended up using Gray Granite, Cloud Cover, and Memento Black inks combined with Basic Beige and Basic Gray cardstock.

My finishing touch is some sweet Cloud Cover Moody Dots in the centre of all the gears.

Up next is the extraordinary Peta and her stunning card

Blown away by Blues Colour INKspiration challenge #203

Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.

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

I'm loving the blues and softness in this colour palette.

I'm using a NEW bundle coming in March - Rolling Waves and I've also added some gorgeous Natural Hues paper from the Nature Walk Suite in the Mini Catalogue.  There are 3 colours and I've used the cream.  

The layering of the Rolling Waves dies is just brilliant!!  They all work together, although I have offset my layers to see the colours underneath each layer.  And I LOOOOOVE the gorgeous sea shells that all cut out at the same time - super easy and quick!!  

And I love the ways the stamped image and die waves work so beautifully together.
