STAMPIN' UP!'S SHELTERING TREE FOR JAI #261

I'm back from Stampin' Up!'s last-ever Inspire.Create.Share event in Australia, but I can't say I've fully adjusted to being back home yet!  Stampin' Up! put on such awesome events, that my head is just spinning with all the excitement of the upcoming new Annual Catalogue (out 2nd June).

A few favourite products will be retiring before the new catalogue comes out.  I've used Naturals White cardstock, and one of my favourite paper-piercing templates on this card; they're both going to retire on 2nd June.  Thankfully, there will be awesome new replacements, so I'll try not to be too sad!

Trish has set a great challenge at Just Add Ink this week.  Take a look at the gorgeous inspiration pics, for us to use as a starting block for a card or other papercraft project:




I've pulled out my somewhat neglected Island Indigo stampin' pad and cardstock, and used earthy neutrals to contrast with the bold colour.  Here's my card for this week's challenge:



Listed below are all the Stampin' Up! products used to make my card; if you click on any of the products, you'll be taken to my online store.

The rest of the Just Add Ink Design Team's creations are A-MA-ZING, so be sure to check them out here.

  3. I love how perfectly this conveys your message Christine. It's stark but soft and all the texture is subtle and adds such an oomph of colour. xxx
