Colour INKspiration Challenge #96




 Hello and welcome,

It's the latest Colour INKspiration challenge #CI96 and this beautiful photo was chosen by Leonie Stuart one of the Design Crew Members. This colour combo is so pretty and I just love the pink bunny!



The colour combination for #CI96 are Petal Pink, Blushing Bride, Flirty Flamingo, Melon Mambo and Granny Apple Green. As well as the chosen colours you may also add Basic White, Basic Black, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Sahara Sand 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: Pear Pizzazz instead of Granny Apple Green .... you get the drift). 

The challenge will run for almost 3 weeks until 7pm on the 12th April 2021 details to follow at the end of my blog.



For today's project that I've created a card using the Pretty Perennials Bundle which is perfect for this bright happy colour combination. I just love the stamped images of the water colour flowers and the detail of the additional layers with the die cut pieces. 




The main largest flower is in Blushing Bride followed by Petal Pink for the second largest flower and then Flirty Flamingo and Melon Mambo for the smaller flowers. I've added Granny Apple Green Ink using the Blender Brush and sponged ink to Basic White Cardstock in circle motion leaving some white showing. This gives an Ombre look to the leaves.




The Basic White panel underneath the flowers, I've stamped the watercolour images of the flowers, first stamp off then stamp multiple times in Petal Pink, Flirty Flamingo and Blushing Bride. Layering the images to give a watercolour effect. Krista Frattin from The Crafty Carrot Co showed us how to use this technique with the Hydrangea Haven Stamp Set and I just had to try it out.




The added sentiment and DSP is in Flirty Flamingo and the Basic White panel is layered over Flirty Flamingo Cardstock. I've used The Elegant Faceted Gems for the center of each flower.




We hope you can participate in this latest round and as we so look forward to seeing a variety of projects using the challenge colours. Please ensure that your project is new and made specially for this challenge.

#CI96 will run until 7pm (ADET) on Monday 12th April 2021.
