Colour INKspiration Challenge #CI134

 Hello and welcome,

My name is Vicki Boucher, and I am from Melbourne, Australia. Tonight, it's the latest Colour INKspiration Challenge #CI134 and this photo was chosen by Cheryll Miller. Love this photo it reminds me of summer.

The colour combination for #CI134 is Sweet Sorbet, Parakeet Party and Basic White. 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: Poppy Parade instead of Sweet Sorbet .... you get the drift).

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

Today's card is a Christmas card and I've used the Decorated with Happiness bundle which includes the Decorated with Happiness Stamp Set and Decorated Pine Dies where is located in the Stampin' Up! Mini Catalogue 2022.

I haven't used this bundle for a while, and I just love the tree branch stamped in Parakeet Party a number of times onto Basic White cardstock panel. Then I added Parakeet Party ink with the Blending Brush to the panel.

I die-cut out the large branch die from the Decorated with Happiness Dies in Basic White cardstock and added Parakeet Party ink with a Blending Brush. I left the edges of the die-cut pieces white to add some contrast. 

The Sweet Sorbet ornaments are a watercolour wash onto Shimmery White Cardstock, once dry I then heat embossed the ornament images by stamping in Versamark, added White Emboss Powder and heat set with the Heat Tool.

To finish off the card, I added a couple of gold foil stars to the panel and the greeting is stamped in Parakeet Party. 

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.
