Colour INKspiration Challenge #100

 Hello and welcome,

We have reached the 100th Colour INKspiration Challenge CI#100 which is very exciting!!! I'm so happy to be part of this amazing group of ladies over at Colour INKspiration design team where each fortnight there is a colour challenge.

The first challenge started back in January 11th 2017 CI#01 and was founded by Bronwyn Eastley, she put together a crew of 25 ladies from Australia and New Zealand, we still have 8 of the original members at the Colour INKspiration crew. 

I started joining in the challenges back in July 2017 CI#13 and then I was asked to join the crew in October 2019 CI#65. I've enjoyed looking back at the colour challenges and the cards I've created over the years. 

Now for the latest Colour INKspiration Challenge CI#100 and this beautiful photo was chosen by Bronwyn Eastley. The photograph is at Bridestowe Lavender Farm in Tasmania. I love the bright colours for the challenge.       

The colour combination for CI#100 are Gorgeous Grape, Magenta Madness and Bermuda Bay. 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: Melon Mambo instead of Magenta Madness.... you get the drift). 

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

I started with half a sheet of Basic White Cardstock for the card base, then I added a panel of Basic White Cardstock using the Ombre ink blending technique I slowly added Magenta Madness Ink with the Blending  Brush starting at the top and working my way down until I was about half way. 

I've splattered Magenta Madness Ink using the brush tip from the Stampin' Blend by flicking the brush against the lid onto the Magenta Madness Ombre panel.

Blending ink by using the three challenge colours onto the large flowers and leaves die cut image from the Artistic Dies. I just love the Expressions In Ink Suite so much! 

I've used the stitched label die from the Floral Heart Dies in Basic White Cardstock and I've added Gorgeous Grape Ink to highlight the stitching. 

I also added a few of the smaller die cut images from the Floral Heart Dies mixing them up with the Artistic leaves Dies.

The sentiment is from the Create with Friends Stamp Set I've fussy cut out the stamped image 'Celebrate' and heat embossed the 'Let's & You' using Versamark Ink, White Stampin' Emboss Powder and Heat Tool. To finish off I added a few of the Clear Epoxy Essentials to the card.

I 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.

CI#100 will run until 7pm (ADET) on Monday 7th June 2021.
