Colour INKspiration Challenge #CI128

  

Hello and welcome,

My name is Vicki Boucher and I am from Melbourne, Australia. Tonight, it's the latest Colour INKspiration Challenge #CI128 and this photo was chosen by Lou Kitzelman. I love the soft pastel colours and this photo reminds me of summer. 

The colour combination for #CI128 is So Saffron, Petal Pink, Blushing Bride and Tahitian Tide. 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: Balmy Blue instead of Tahitian Tide .... you get the drift).

The challenge will run for almost 3 weeks until 7pm (AEST) on Monday 12th September 2022 details to follow at the end of my blog.

Today's card is using the Leaves of Holly bundle (159608) which includes Leaves of Holly Stamp Set and Holly Berry Dies and I also used Snowflake 12" x 12" Specialty Vellum (159832) for the background panel. I just love the white vellum snowflakes. All of the products I've used in today's project can be found in the Mini July - December 2022 Stampin' Up Catalogue.

 

Leaves of Holly bundle (159608)

I decided to use the colour palette and go for a non-traditional Christmas card. Starting with the card base in Tahitian Tide Cardstock and layered over with the Snowflake Specialty Vellum. This gives Tahitian Tide a softer look.

My next layer is a smaller panel of Basic White Cardstock, applied with the other three challenge colours and the Blending Brushes. 

I love the Holly Berry Dies as you can do so much with them by keeping it simple or stepping it up with lots of layers. The berry leaves and berries are die-cut out in Basic White Cardstock. I then used the Blending Brushes to apply Blushing Bride, Petal Pink ink for the leaves and So Saffron ink for the berries.

There are two label dies from the Holly Berry Dies the larger one I lightly added Tahitian Tide ink with the Blending Brush. The smaller label I used for the sentiment, stamped in Tahitian Tide ink onto Basic White Cardstock. 

To finish off the card I added a few of the Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels and Tahitian Tide Baker's Twine.

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.
