Colour INKspiration Birthday Bash Blog Hop #70

Hello and welcome,


It’s Colour INKspiration Birthday Bash Blog Hop #70, back on 11^th January 2017 this amazing group was launched on Facebook and now we are celebrating! It’s our 3^rd birthday and the theme is Birthdays.

You are invited to join in the fun too! Just choose any three colours from Stampin’ Up! plus you can also use Neutrals, Metallics to help with creating your project. You can enter as many times as you like too. Now that’s worth celebrating. The challenge will run for a month until the 10^th February. I hope we can inspire you with all of our blogs, to enter I’ll place a link at the bottom of the post. 

My three colours that I have choosen are Melon Mambo, Coastal Cabana and Pretty Peacock. The products that I’m using are Timeless Tropical Bundle which is from the new Stampin’ Up! Mini Catalogue for 2020. If you would like a copy of the new Catalogue and live in Australia I would be happy to give you one. Contact details are at the end of this blog post.

When I saw the Tropical Bundle in the Catalogue it was perfect for my daughter who just had her birthday yesterday, so this was perfect timing to create a birthday card for her. I just love the retro tropical imagery of the Timeless Tropical Distinktive Stamp Set and no need to fussy cut out the images as there are coordinating In The Tropics Dies.

I’ve stamped the flower images in Melon Mambo and Costal Cabana. To create the blended palm trees and one of the leaves, first stamp the image in Coastal Cabana, then with a Sponge Dauber I inked up using Pretty Peacock and lightly sponged the ink onto the stamp before stamping the image onto a piece of Whisper White Cardstock. The other palm tree is full strength in Pretty Peacock and the leaf is in Coastal Cabana. 

The 13 Dies in the In The Tropics Dies are just gorgeous, also included is a big pineapple, cute flowers and different types of leaves. I’ve used just some of the smaller leaves in Gold Foil and just to add a little glimmer to the card. To balance out the Gold Foil, I’ve placed a Gold Foil Embossed strip under the sentiment. It’s Embossed using the new Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder. The sentiment is from the Timeless Tropical Stamp set and stamped in Pretty Peacock.

The card base is Thick Whisper White, I’ve sponged with a Sponge Dauber and Pretty Peacock Ink onto the Cardstock. The following layer which is a piece of Whisper White Cardstock, die cut out with the Stitched Rectangle Die and before layering all of the layers onto it I also sponged ink using Coastal Cabana.  I wanted to create a tropical Island and giving that floating feeling about it. 

I’ve added three Pretty Peacock Woven Threads Sequins to finish the card off and now it’s complete.
