Welcome to COLOUR INKspiration for 2026!

Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.

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

Isn't our first challenge for 2026 sooo pretty!!

I am CASEING our website with one of the new products available - Covered in Flowers accents.  

They come in a die cut sheet and you pop them out and use however you like!!

I've coloured my 2 flowers using blending brushes and Garden Green, Strawberry Slush, and Peach Pie.

The backgroud was made using Fluid 100 watercolour paper.  I wet the paper first, added 1 single drop of Pretty in Pink ink refil and spread it all over the wet paper.  

And the greeting comes from our NEW Product of the Month stamp set - called Fabulous Sayings - exclusives to customers who place a qualifying order!!  It has everything you need!!  

The lovely sparkly Lemon Lolly glimmer paper has been embossed with the Damask Designs folder with the super gorgeous Pastels Shimmer Speciality paper - ANOTHER online exclusive product!! 

INside the card features another gorgeous floral bouquet and the stunning glimer paper.
