Colour INKspiration Challenge #CI158

 

 Hello and welcome, 

My name is Vicki Boucher, and I am from Melbourne, Australia. Tonight, is the latest Colour INKspiration Challenge #CI158 this photo was chosen by Colour INKspiration Crew Member, Lou Kitzelman. This is our first challenge of the year!

The chosen colour combination for #CI158 is Petal Pink, Fresh Freesia, Pool Party and Blueberry Bushel. As well as the chosen colours you may also like to add Basic White, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Basic Black 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: Starry Sky instead of Blueberry Bushel.... for example).

The challenge will run for almost 5 weeks until 7pm (AEST) on Monday 12th February 2024 details to follow at the end of my blog.

It's great to be back and start creating again for Colour INKspiration Challenges they are always fun to do and try out different colour combinations. This colour palette is so beautiful! There is plenty of time to join in this challenge with almost 5 weeks to enter the challenge.

I've used the Notes of Nature bundle (162640) which is in the new Stampin' Up! Mini Catalogue for January to April 2024. This bundle was on my wish list when I saw the catalogue and it is part of the Nature's Sweetness Suite Collection (162645). I love it all and I can't wait to start using the rest of the collection.

I created a water colour wash for the background using Pool Party, Blueberry Bushel ink and I applied the ink with the wide brush tip to the Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper. 

I used the main leaf die from the Notes of Nature Dies, die-cut out in Basic White Cardstock and applied the challenge colours using the Blending Brush. 

The other die I used is the journal die by cutting a thin strip of Basic White Cardstock then die-cut it out and then I added Blueberry Bushel ink with the Blending Brush. I added the Gold Faux Leather Trim and tied a knot to one of the ends.

To finish off my card I added Fresh Freesia Dots (162758) and for the sentiment I heat embossed it using Crumb Cake Cardstock and Basic White Powder. 

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.
