Colour INKspiration Challenge #CI123

   Hello and welcome,

My name is Vicki Boucher and I am from Melbourne, Australia. Tonight, it's the latest Colour INKspiration Challenge #CI123 and this photo was chosen by Lou Kitzelman. I love the colours in this photo. I just love green and pink together when it comes to paper craft.  

The colour combination for #CI123 is Blushing Bride, Soft Succulent, Shaded Spruce and Evening Evergreen. As well as the chosen colours you may also add Basic White, 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: Mint Macaron instead of Soft Succulent .... you get the drift).

 The challenge will run for almost 2 weeks until 7pm (AEST) on Monday 20th June 2022 details to follow at the end of my blog.

Today's card is using the Cottage Rose Stamp Set and Cottage Flowers Dies which is on page 57 of the  2022-2023 Annual Stampin' Up! Catalogue. I just recently purchased it and i just couldn't wait to try it out. I love the large flower and foliage stamp the most.

I've stamped the images using Versmark Ink onto Shimmery White Cardstock adding Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder and heat set with the Heat Tool. Then I got out my Water Painters and challenge colours ink pads to do some water colouring. Blushing Bride for the roses, Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen for the leaves, It's such a pretty colour combination. 

Next I had to use Shaded Spruce for the challenge, so I used my Blending Brush and lightly added Shaded Spruce ink onto Basic White Cardstock. I also stamped lightly using the leaf image a number of times onto the panel. In each of the corner of the Basic White panel, I added Blushing Bride ink with the Blending Brush to give it some warmth.

To finish off the card, I used Blushing Bride Cardstock for the card base, I splattered Shaded Spruce ink using the Stampin' Blend and also Blushing Bride Write Marker. The greeting is from the Cottage Rose Stamp Set and stamped in Shaded Spruce ink. I also added Linen Thread and Polished Dots to the card.

I hope I've inspired you with the latest challenge and I do hope you'll join in. We so look forward to seeing a variety of projects using the challenge colours. Please ensure that your project is new and made specifically for this challenge.

Use all of the challenge colours (or close substitutions) unless stated.
