Colour INKspiration Challenge #99

 

Hello and welcome,

It's the latest Colour INKspiration challenge #CI99 and this stunning photo was chosen by Jacque Williams one of the Design Crew Members. This colour combo is so beautiful and something I normally wouldn't create using these colours, but I do love a colour challenge!

The colour combination for #CI99 are Mint Macaron, Just Jade, Smoky Slate and Soft Suede. 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: Gray Granite instead of Smoky Slate.... you get the drift). 

The challenge will run for almost 2 weeks until 7pm on the 31st May 2021 details to follow at the end of my blog.

Today's card is a watercolour handmade card using the Simply Succulents Stamp Set and Potted Succulents Dies. The challenge colours I thought are perfect for the succulents, by mixing the colours together with different combinations to achieve a variation of colour.

I've stamped the images using Stazon Jet Black Ink onto Shimmery White Cardstock and I applied ink with the Water Painters. I like to use the fine tip brush for the succulents and large flat brush tip for the planter pot. 

Before layering the die cut pieces to the card, I added Smoky Slate Ink with the Blending Brush to the panel of Basic White Cardstock. The sentiment is also from the Simply Succulents Stamp Set, I stamped off before randomly stamping the image three times to the Basic White panel.

To finish off the card, I've heat embossed the sentiment with Versamark Ink, sprinkled White Stampin' Emboss Powder and heat set using the Heat Tool. The card base is Smoky Slate Cardstock and the bow is White Baker's Twine.

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.

#CI99 will run until 7pm (ADET) on Monday 31st May 2021.
