Colour INKspiration Challenge #74

Hello and welcome,

Tonight, is the latest Colour INKspiration Challenge #74 and this photo was captured by Simone Bartrum a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator who was on holidays on the stunning island of Mykonos last year.  It was one of her favourite places while traveling on the 2019 Greek Isles Incentive Trip.

The colours for the challenge are Night of Navy, Whisper White, Basic Grey and Mango Melody. You can also add Basic Black, Very Vanilla and metallics.

The challenge runs for almost 2 weeks and will end at 7pm (AEST) on 6^th April 2020. I hope you’ll enter into the Colour INKspiration Challenge we would love to see your creation.

The card I’ve created is using the Free As A Bird Bundle and Forever Blossoms Stamp Set. I haven’t used the Free As A Bird Stamp Set for awhile so it was nice to get it out and do a little water colouring.

I started with the Night of Navy card base, added a panel of Night of Navy Cardstock and stamped in Night of Navy Ink using the larger flower branch stamp from the Forever Blossoms Stamp Set. I used a Sponge Dauber with Night of Navy Ink and sponged around the edges of the Cardstock.

I used the second largest die from the Stitched So Sweety Dies and die cut out the Whisper White Cardstock. Using the Sponge Dauber, I lightly sponge Night of Navy Ink onto the Whisper White Cardstock.

I’ve stamped the bird, flowers and leaves images in Stazon Ink onto Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper. Using the colours from the challenge, I’ve water coloured the images in and fussy cut them out. I love the sentiment from the Free As A Bird Stamp Set and I think it’s very appropriate with what’s going on in the world at the moment. We all need lots of hope, virtual hugs and our health to see us through.
