Zahra Premji: September 2018

Hello friends, thanks for popping in! I'm Zahra Premji, from Toronto, Canada! Welcome to the Crazy Crafters Blog Hop and my blog, My Pretty Inkspirations. I'm both honoured and excited to have been asked to be a guest on the Crazy Crafters Blog Hop! The Crazy Crafters are Kylie Bertucci's amazing team in Australia!

As you might have noticed, I don't blog often, so when my dear friend Kylie asked me to be a guest, I felt a little frightened and intimidated. But as they say, 'life begins at the end of your comfort zone', so I'm stepping out ;)

At the end of my post, you'll see a list of the other Crazy Crafter bloggers that are hopping with me! Be sure to check out their blogs and lovely creations. Everyone in the hop is choosing a card from my blog to CASE (Copy And Selectively Edit), I've chosen one too!

I chose to CASE this 👆 card using the Quilted Christmas Suite in non-traditional colours from last year's Holiday Catalogue. You can read more about it HERE. I just loved the layers and details on this card. Here's the one I created using the layout as inspiration:

I used products from the new Frosted Floral Suite, which is currently my FAVE in the new Holiday Catalogue 😍 This gorgeous frosted Designer Series Paper has me ~~drooling~~ swooning! I also LOVE the floral image stamps in this set, as well as the font - I'm a total sucker for a good font...

Can you see the stamped florals on the Gray Granite card base? I used a brand new product in the Holiday Catalogue, shimmer paint! I love all things shimmery and sparkly, so this had my name written all over it! It's hard to see the shimmer in the photos, but trust me, it's shimmery and beautiful 😍

In keeping with the non-traditional holiday card colour theme, I went with Gray Granite, Night of Navy and Powder Pink...I just love these colours together, will definitely be using this combo again!

Here's the card recipe:

Gray Granite Card Base - 4.25" x 11"
Night of Navy layer - 3.25" x 4.5", embossed with (new) Corrugated Embossing Folder
Powder Pink layer - 3.25" x 3.25"
Frosted Floral DSP layer - 3 1/8" x 3 1/8"
Layering Scalloped Circle - Gray Granite
Stitched Shape Circle - whisper white
Leaf Punch cutouts - vellum

Here's another card I created, inspired by the same layout, using the Peaceful Noel Stamp set, Joyous Noel Designer Series Paper and the new - and might I say, AWESOME - Sprig Punch
