Hello,
And welcome to this, the second month in the monthly Jems Blog Hop, I can't believe a whole month has gone by since the last hop, there's been so much happening in the SU! world with all the new catalogue excitement!
So, you should have hopped here from the lovely Sharons blog {you can find all the blog links for June's hop HERE if you get lost}and this month we are showcasing the lovely NEW In Colours. I have used an Ink, Spritz and Scrunch technique for these cards and I have made a quick video too, so be sure to scroll through to see it ;-)
Let's start with Sweet Sugarplum...
And a close up of the die cut word, it's all sparkly IRL (in real life ;-)) Hint: how to make this is in the video too ;-)Dapper Denim - I'm a navy kinda gal and so I have used this colour quite a few times already. Keep an eye out here for new combos with this colour coming very soon.
OK, so it's no secret (especially if you visit here a lot) that I also love pink. A lot. So, unsurprisingly I think I would have to say that this is my favourite colour of all the new ones - Flirty Flamingo.
Emerald Envy, I have seen a lot of this colour in the shops since SU! announced the new colours. They really are right on trend with all of them this year!
And Peekaboo Peach, this seems to be the "Marmite" colour, you either love it or hate it! I'm in the love it camp and it goes just great with Flirty Flamingo!
OK, so who wants to see my little video sharing how to get these inky backgrounds?
So, which is your favourite new In Colour?
Well, I hope you enjoyed todays post? It's time now to hop onto the lovely Julie's blog next or if you've missed one, hop back to Sharon's blog, she's the very first one!
