Colour INKspiration Challenge #93

Hello and welcome,

It's the latest Colour INKspiration challenge #CI93 and this stunning photo was chosen by Monica Formosa one of the Design Crew Members who recently joined our team late last year. This colour combo is amazing! 

The colours for #93 challenge are Sahara Sand, Granny Apple Green and Pacific Point. As well as the chosen colours you may also add Basic White, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Basic Black and metallics to your project. We also allow 'Ivory' and 'Bronze' in the Stampin' Blends. If you don't have all the colour palette, feel free to use the closest SU substitute (ie: Night of Navy instead of Pacific Point .... you get the drift). 

The challenge will run for almost 2 weeks until 7pm on the 22nd Feb 2021 details to follow at the end of my blog.

For my project I've used the Friends Are Like Seashells Bundle which is on page 42 of the Stampin' Up! January to June 2021 Mini Catalogue. This bundle was on the top of my wish list when I first saw the Mini Catalogue. I just knew I had to have it in my crafty stash! I love the Seashells 3D Embossing Folder which coordinates with the large die from the Seaside Seashells Dies.

Using Basic White for the large embossed image I've added colour by using the Blender Brushes. One for Pacific Point and the other for Granny Apple Green slowly adding colour to the image and mixing the two colours together. This brings out some amazing colours and such a time saver too.

To create the Pacific Point Ombre panel underneath is Shimmery White Cardstock, Pacific Point Ink and a Blender Brush. I use circle motions with the brush and making sure I go off the edges too. I really like the contrast between the brightness of Granny Apple Green against Pacific Point.

I've used Stampin' Dimensionals for the layers to give it more depth and even though it's hard to see I did add Clear Wink of Stella to the embossed seashell panel for a little sparkle The card base is a half sheet of Sahara Sand.

Adding a few more layers by using strips of the script DSP in Granny Apple Green and Pacific Point by tearing along one side. I stamped the starfish and seashell in Sahara Sand and with a Sponge Dauber I added colour. 

The sentiment is from the Pretty Perennials Stamp Set, using Versmark Ink, White Stampin' Emboss Powder and heat set with the Heat Tool. The sentiment happy has been fussy cut out.
