Colour INKspiration Challenge #77

Hello and welcome to our latest Colour INKspiration Challenge #77 and this beautiful photo is our inspiration to create something special. The colours for this challenge are Old Olive, Soft Sea Foam, Garden Green, Very Vanilla and Seaside Spray. You can also add Whisper White, Basic Black and metallics.

The challenge runs for almost 2 weeks and will end at 7pm (AEST) on 25^th May 2020. I hope you’ll enter into the Colour INKspiration Challenge we would so love to see your creation.

I just love the colours for this challenge and here’s my card using the Bloom and Grow Bundle. I haven’t used this bundle for awhile and I thought it was perfect to do water colouring with these colours.

I started off with Fluid 100 Water Color Paper and Gold Embossed the flower image times two. I’ve blended Garden Green with Seaside Spray with my Aqua Painter to create a darker blue/green flower (I think it’s a nice blend). The middle flower is only Soft Sea Foam, stating off with a light touch of ink and slowly adding more colour. The third flower is a light combination of Soft Sea Foam and Seaside Spray which is also a nice combination. Who knew that these colours would really work well together! That’s why I love these colour challenges.

The card base is Thick Very Vanilla Cardstock and I’ve stamped a leaf image from the stamp set in Soft Sea Foam just randomly on the card front. The next layer is a sheet of Soft Sea Foam in gingham Subtles 6”x 6” DSP, die cut out with the Stitched Rectangles Dies. I also die cut out a smaller layer of water color paper with the Stitched Dies and lightly brushed Seaside Spray Ink with the Aqua Painter.

The Soft Sea Foam Cardstock swirls is from the Parisian Dies which blends in nicely with the colours and bundle. The sentiment is in Old Olive Ink onto a strip of Very Vanilla Cardstock and before layering it to the card, I’ve added a strip of Old Olive Cardstock which finishes the card off nicely.
