Colour INKspiration Challenge #CI138

 

Hello and welcome,

My name is Vicki Boucher, and I am from Melbourne, Australia. Tonight, is the latest Colour INKspiration Challenge #CI138 this photo was chosen by Monica Formosa, which was photographed by her daughter's partner tim_wildlife (instagram handle) a beautiful photo of a Gouldian Finch.

The chosen colour combination for #CI138 is Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Tahitian Tide and Highland Heather. 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: Mango Melody instead of Daffodil Delight .... you get the drift).

The challenge will run for almost 2 weeks until 7pm (AEST) on Monday 6th March 2023 details to follow at the end of my blog.

The card I've created is a birthday card using the Two-Tone Flora bundle and Framed Florets Stamp Set. These colours are so beautiful together and are perfect for flowers. 

 

Starting with the floral images from the Two-Tone Floral stamp set I found it was easier to use the detailed flower image in full strength, then use the solid flower image and stamp off before layering the image over the detailed stamped image. I used Highland Heather, Tahitian Tide and Daffodil Delight for the flowers and Granny Apple Green for the leaves. 

For the background panel, I stamped the solid flower image many times in Tahitian Tide ink until fading out. I also used the Blending Brush to add Tahitian Tide ink to the panel. The sentiment is from Framed Florets Stamp Set and stamped directly onto the background panel. 

The other elements to the card are Tahitian Tide Baker's Twine and I coloured in a few of the Petal Pink Pastel Sequins using Highland Heather Dark Stampin' Blend. 

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.
