Colour INKspiration Challenge #86

 

Hello and welcome,

Today’s Colour INKspiration Challenge #86 is using these stunning colours – Coastal Cabana, Pacific Point and Shaded Spruce. I love these colours together and isn’t the photo for our challenge just gorgeous!

I felt inspired to create a Christmas card for the colours and one of my favourite techniques at the moment is ink blending and with a little water resist. I’ve used a panel of Shimmery White Cardstock to cover the card front.

Using the Sponge Daubers for each of the colours, I started off with Coastal Cabana then Shaded Spruce and finished off with Pacific Point. Blending the colours together until I was happy with the application.

I applied water droplets by using the fine tip Water Painter and flicked water onto the Cardstock.  

The In The Pines Bundle is very useful for any Christmas card and the Pine Wood Dies have different sizes for the Pine trees. 

The larger tree I applied Coastal Cabana and Pacific Point Ink Sponged onto the tips of the tree. To add a little sparkle, I’ve used Shimmery Crystal Effects and Dazzling Diamonds Stampin’ Glitter which sadly is now retired.

The other two trees I sponged Pacific Point and Shaded Spruce ink onto the trees. For the snow tips I’ve heat embossed White Stampin’ Emboss Powder onto the trees.

The Stag is from the North Pole Dies, I’ve added Coastal Cabana Ink and glitter. The sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Christmas Stamp Set and is heat embossed using White Stampin’ Powder. To finish off the card, I added tiny snowflakes from the Snowflake Sequins.
