Colour INKspiration Challenge #CI150

 

Hello and welcome, 

My name is Vicki Boucher, and I am from Melbourne, Australia. Tonight, is the latest Colour INKspiration Challenge #CI150 this photo was chosen by Lou Kitzelman. They are gorgeous happy colours for our 150th birthday. It certainly reminds me of spring which is not too far away.

The chosen colour combination for #CI150 is Pumpkin Pie, Calypso Coral, Sweet Sorbet, Old Olive and Pretty Peacock. 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 3 weeks until 7pm (AEST) on Monday 11th September 2023 details to follow at the end of my blog.

Happy birthday to Colour INKspiration!! 150 colour challenges which is amazing! I just love our design team and the variety of different colour combinations we get to try out each fortnight or sometimes three weeks. I really love a colour challenge because it challenges me to try out different colour palettes I wouldn't normally use. 

Today's slimline card I have created using the new Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks (162331) which will be available to customers in the up incoming Stampin' Up! Sep-Dec 2023 Mini Catalogue. They are amazing and so easy to use. You get 7 masks in total and 4 of them are to create sunflowers and leaves. I used the large sunflower mask by applying Pumpkin Pie ink with the Blending Brush and two smaller sunflowers in Sweet Sorbet ink. The leaves are a mix of Old Olive and Pretty Peacock I love the shading of these colours mixed together. Then I fussy cut the images out.

I combined a few different stamp sets to go with the sunflowers and the flowers from the Sending Smiles Stamp Set was perfect as they are solid images when stamped and white outline space around them. 

The background panel is Basic White Cardstock using the Lighting the Way and Gorgeously Made Stamp Sets I selected some leaf images to create lots of stamping in Old Olive ink.

To finish off the card I added Black & White Gingham Ribbon, heat embossed the sentiment and added a few Blooming Pearls embellishments in gold and Pretty Peacock. 

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.
