Colour INKspiration Challenge #CI137

 

Hello and welcome,

My name is Vicki Boucher, and I am from Melbourne, Australia. Tonight, is the latest Colour INKspiration Challenge #CI137 this photo was chosen by Lou Kitzelman, this looks like a nice place to go on a holiday. 

The chosen colour combination for #CI137 is Polished Pink, Balmy Blue, Orchid Oasis and Evening Evergreen. As well as the chosen colours you may also like to add Basic White, Very Vanilla, Basic Black, Crumb Cake, Sahara Sand and metallics to your project. We also allow 'Ivory', 'Bronze' and 'Natural Tones' in the Stampin' Blends. If you don't have all the colour palette, feel free to use the closest SU substitute (ie: Melon Mambo instead of Polished Pink .... you get the drift).

The challenge will run for almost 2 weeks until 7pm (AEST) on Monday 20th February 2023 details to follow at the end of my blog.

The card I've created for the challenge is a CASE of a beautiful card I received in the mail for my birthday from fellow Artisan friend Silvia Berger from Germany. Her Instagram handle is silvie.creates she makes the most beautiful cards.

I've used the Petal Park Bundle (160577) which includes a stamp set and punch. The flowers are stamped in Stazon ink onto Shimmery White Cardstock and watercoloured in using Polished Pink, Balmy Blue and Orchid Oasis. The flowers have been punched out and the leaves have been fussy cut out.

I used the Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper (retired) in Polished Pink, Foam Adhesive Sheets and die-cut out the HELLO using the Alphabet A LA Mode Dies. The sentiment is from Sentimental Park Stamp Set and heat embossed onto a strip of Orchid Oasis Cardstock.

I stamped the leaves image in Balmy Blue ink onto Basic White Cardstock around the edges of the paper. Silvia had stitched her card by using the sewing machine. I haven't done this in a long time, so out came my sewing machine and did some stitching on my card. 

To finish off the card I layered the white panel over a sheet of Vellum Layering Designs and Balmy Blue card base. Tied a bow using Linen Thread and added a few of Orchid Oasis In Color 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.
