Colour INKspiration Challenge #CI127

 

 Hello and welcome,

My name is Vicki Boucher and I am from Melbourne, Australia. Tonight, it's the latest Colour INKspiration Challenge #CI127 and this photo was chosen by Bronwyn Eastley. Gorgeous combination of colours and it certainly feels like spring from the photo.

The colour combination for #CI127 is Daffodil Delight, Orchid Oasis and Pear Pizzazz. 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: Granny Apple Green instead of Pear Pizzazz .... you get the drift).

The challenge will run for almost 2 weeks until 7pm (AEST) on Monday 22nd August 2022 details to follow at the end of my blog.

Today's card is using the Blessings of Home bundle (157939) which includes Blessings of Home Stamp Set and Flowers of Home Dies and I also used Honeybee Home bundle (157952) for the bee image. All of the products I've used in today's project can be found in the Annual Stampin' Up 2022 - 2023 Catalogue.

I would have to say that Orchid Oasis would have to be one of my favourite of the new In Colors and I wanted to use it as the main focal point. I just love the richness of the colour so I embossed it using the Hive 3D Embossing Folder and added Orchid Oasis ink with the Blending Brush.

I used Shimmery White Cardstock Stazon Ink for the flower and bee. I used the fine tip brush from the Water Painters to colour in the images. The water colour wash background is Daffodil Delight and I like to use the large flat brush tip for a quick block of colour.

The sentiment is from the Blessings of Home Stamp Set, I've heat embossed it using Versamark, Basic Black Cardstock, White Stampin' Emboss Powder and heat set with the Heat Tool. Orchid Oasis comes in a variety of Stampin' Up! products and I really like it in the Baker's Twine and Matte Decorative Dots. 

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.
