Colour INKspiration Challenge #CI106

  

Hello and welcome,

I'm a little bit late in posting this blog for the latest Colour INKspiration Challenge here are the details below. 

It's the latest Colour INKspiration Challenge #CI106 and this photo was chosen by Colour INKspiration Crew Member, Lou Kitzelman. It's a stunning photo and I love the colours for this latest challenge. 

The colour combination for #CI106 is Basic White, Real Red, Pool Party and Night of Navy. As well as the chosen colours you may also add Very Vanilla, Basic Black, 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: Poppy Parade instead of Real Red .... you get the drift). 

The challenge will run for almost 2 weeks until 7pm (AEST) on Monday 6th September 2021 details to follow at the end of my blog.

For my card I've created a Christmas card using the Whimsical Trees Bundle which is on page 24 - 25 of the Stampin' Up! August - December 2021 Mini Catalogue. 

The Wonderful Snowflakes are iridescent foil snowflakes and I've used them to create a stencil background with Night of Navy Ink and I lightly added ink with the Blending Brush to the Basic White Cardstock panel. This was also created for the Pool Party Tailor Made Tag die-cut image.

One thing I love to do is create an Ombre look when it comes to paper crafting and Blending Brushes are the perfect tool to do this. The large Christmas tree is in Night of Navy Ink onto Basic White Cardstock and die-cut out using the Christmas Trees Dies. The stitched garland die in Basic White layered over the tree and I added a few of the Real Red Wonderful Gems for Christmas ornaments.

The trio of the smaller Christmas trees are also from the Christmas Trees Dies, die-cut out in Night of Navy Ombre Specialty Paper and the other two trees are pieces of scraps from the iridescent foil which is from the Wonderful Snowflakes. One of them is in Real Red Ink, coloured with the Blending Brush which gives you a softer pinkish/red look. 

I love to create lots of layers, so adding a few of the Tailor Made Tag Dies is always fun. The top tag is in Night of Navy Ombre look again onto Basic White Cardstock. I've tied the two tags together with Pool Party Striped Ribbon and White Baker's Twine.

To finish off the card I've added a couple of the Snowflakes, one of them has a little of Night of Navy Ink which is from stenciling the background panel. The greeting is from the Whimsical Trees Stamp Set stamped in Real Red Ink onto a scrap of Basic White Cardstock and fussy cut out.

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.
