Colour INKspiration Challenge #CI149

Hello and welcome, 

My name is Vicki Boucher, and I am from Melbourne, Australia. Tonight, is the latest Colour INKspiration Challenge #CI149 this photo was chosen by Lou Kitzelman.

The chosen colour combination for #CI149 is Fresh Freesia, Moody Mauve and Misty Moonlight. As well as the chosen colours you may also like to add Basic White, Basic Black, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake 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: Night of Navy instead of Misty Moonlight .... you get the drift).

The challenge will run for almost 2 weeks until 7pm (AEST) on Monday 21st August 2023 details to follow at the end of my blog.

These colours are so beautiful together and so is the photo. For my card I went with the Translucent Florals bundle (162253) which is in the new Mini Catalogue Sept-Dec 2023. This will be available as of next month for customers.

I've used a new embossing folder which is also from the Mini Catalogue and it's called Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder. It's part of the All About Autumn Suite and will be available next month for customers to purchase. I've embossed it using Misty Moonlight Cardstock, then distressed the embossed panel with Paper Snips and added White Craft ink with the Sponge Dauber.

Next, I create a watercolour wash background using Water Paper and the three challenge colours. I like to add water using the Water Painter I used the wide brush tip and applied water to the Water Paper. I started with Misty Moonlight ink then added Fresh Freesia and Moody Mauve.

The stamped images from the Translucent Florals Stamp Set add a soft look to the images. I then used the coordinating dies to die-cut them out.

 

The sentiment is heat embossed using Versamark, White Stampin' Emboss Powder and heat set with the Heat Tool. I've used one of the labels dies from Cracker & Treat Box Dies and die-cut out the sentiment.

Other elements I've used are Moody Mauve Jute Trim and Fresh Freesia Tinsel Gems.

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.
