Colour INKspiration Challenge #C154

Hello and welcome, 

My name is Vicki Boucher, and I am from Melbourne, Australia. Tonight, is the latest Colour INKspiration Challenge #CI154 this photo was chosen by Rose Packer. 

The chosen colour combination for #CI154 is Berry Burst, Poppy Parade, Pool Party and Crumb Cake. As well as the chosen colours you may also like to add Basic White, Basic Black, Very Vanilla 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: Real Red instead of Poppy Parade .... you get the drift).

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

This is a stunning photo and I love the colours for this challenge, but I did struggle to use Poppy Parade with the other colours for the challenge. I did use it but only for the sequins by colouring some of them in with Light Poppy Parade Stampin' Blend.

I recently received a new Stampin' Up! order and in it came the Joy of Noel bundle (161967), so I just had to use it for my project. I really love the Noel sentiment which is a stamp and coordinating die for each of the letters. I heat embossed the sentiment using White Emboss Powder onto Crumb Cake Cardstock and then die-cut out the word. To make the sentiment pop out from the wreath use the Foam Adhesive Sheets (152815).

To make the wreath I used the detailed pine die from the Joy of Noel Dies and die-cut out a number of times using Basic White Cardstock. Then add colour by using Berry Burst and Pool Party with a Blending Brush, leave some white space at the top of the foliage. When I make wreaths, I like to have a guide, so I use the two larger circle dies from the Stylish Shapes Dies to form a wring and then I add the foliage with adhesive. 

The background white panel is dried embossed using the Christmas Tidings Embossing Folder (162115) and layered over Crumb Cake card base.

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.
