Colour INKspiration Challenge #CI141

 Hello and welcome,

My name is Vicki Boucher, and I am from Melbourne, Australia. Tonight, is the latest Colour INKspiration Challenge #CI141 this photo was chosen by Jan Clothier.

The chosen colour combination for #CI141 is Very Vanilla, Basic Black, Gold and your favourite from 2021-23 In Color Collection. 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: Polished Pink instead of Melon Mambo .... you get the drift).

The challenge will run for almost 2 weeks until 7pm (AEST) on Monday 24th April 2023 details to follow at the end of my blog.

The In Color I have chosen is Polished Pink I think this is the perfect colour to go with the other three challenge colours. Pink, gold with vanilla is elegant and I've used Basic Black for the sentiment. Simple but very effective. What do you think? 

I decided to use Two-Tone Flora bundle which includes the stamp set and Dies from the Jan- April 2023 Mini Catalogue and I'm so happy to say this will be carrying over into the new Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue 2023 - 2024. The stamps are two-step and I've just stamped some of the images off onto scrap paper first before stamping onto Very Vanilla Cardstock. I just love the colour of Polished Pink stamped onto Very Vanilla Cardstock. It's so pretty!

The gold leaves are heat embossed with Gilded Leafing. First stamp the leaves in Versamark Ink then add Heat & Stick Powder, heat with the Heat Tool, then quickly add the Gold Gilded Leafing and brush off any loose bits with your fingers or a brush. I also added Gilded Leafing to the edge of the Very Vanilla Cardstock panel. This time I lightly used Multipurpose Glue applied to the edge of the paper, dry with the Heat Tool and added Gilded Leafing.

The other gold elements are Pastel Adhesive Backed Sequins, Gold Simply Elegant Trim and Gold Shimmer Ribbon which is on sale now and will be retiring soon. The sentiment is from Go-To Greetings Stamp Set and this will be carrying over into the new Annual Catalogue. 

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.
