Colour INKspiration Challenge #CI132

 Hello and welcome,

My name is Vicki Boucher, and I am from Melbourne, Australia. Tonight, it's the latest Colour INKspiration Challenge #CI132 and this photo was chosen by Cathy Pinchbeck. I just love this tropical photo; it makes me want to go on a holiday and preferably where it's not raining! 

The colour combination for #CI132 is Tahitian Tide, Orchid Oasis, Starry Sky and Old Olive. 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: Pear Pizzazz instead of Old Olive .... you get the drift).

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

Today's card is a slimline birthday card using the True Beauty bundle (158984) (visit my Stampin' Up! store to purchase) which can be located on page 67 in the Stampin' Up! 2022-23 Annual Catalogue. I just love the soft watercolour look of the floral images and this stamp set is perfect for lots of stamping in the challenge colours.

Starting with a sheet of Basic White cardstock measured at 8.5cm x 21cm. I always start with the largest image then work my way around the cardstock with the different images and colours. I finish off by using the Blending Brush and add ink in Orchid Oasis and Starry Sky ink. This way I don't leave any white space around the edges. I also like to splatter ink by using the Stampin' Write markers in the challenge colours.

Next, I added a few torn strips of Starry Sky 2022-2024 In Color 6"x 6" DSP to the stamped panel. I used the Organic Beauty and Forever Flourishing Dies to die-cut out some of the images and layered them under the sentiment.

A fun way to use the Old Olive Twill Ribbon is to unravel the threads of the ribbon and you'll end up with lots of fine strands. 

To finish off the card I used the sentiment from Artistically Inked stamp set and stamped in Starry Sky ink. I added a few of the In Color 2022 - 24 Matte Decorative 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.
