Colour INKspiration Challenge #CI164

 Hello and welcome, 

My name is Vicki Boucher, and I am from Melbourne, Australia. Tonight, is the latest Colour INKspiration Challenge #CI164 this photo was chosen by Colour INKspiration Crew Member, Lou. It's all of the In Colors for 2022-24 designer series paper and it's almost time to say goodbye to these current colours.

The chosen colour combination for #CI164 is Sweet Sorbet, Parakeet Party, Tahitian Tide, Orchid Oasis and Starry Sky. As well as the chosen colours you may also like to add Basic White, Very Vanilla, Basic Beige, 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: Night of Navy instead of Starry Sky.... for example).

The challenge will run for almost 2 weeks until 7pm (AEST) on Monday 6th May 2024 details to follow at the end of my blog.

I have loved using these Stampin' Up! In Colors for the last two years especially the blues will be missed, but I'm really loving Sweet Sorbet at the moment and it goes nicely with Basic Beige as the background panel.

I've used the Leaf Collection stamp set for today's challenge and I've stamped the large stamp in each of the challenge colours onto Basic White Cardstock and then I have fussy cut out the images with Paper Snips Scissors. I used the Stampin' Blends in the same In Colors to colour in the stamped images to block out any white cardstock. I just used the fine tip of the Stampin' Blend to complete the solid image. 

For the Basic Beige background panel and strip under the greeting, I stamped the Leaf Collection image using Versamark ink and layered the Basic Beige Cardstock over the stamp and pressed down with another Clear Block. The Versamark leaves a soft tone on tone image rather than using Basic Beige ink.

I used the Alphabet A La Mode Dies and die-cut out the images in Sweet Sorbet Cardstock layered over Foam Adhesive Sheet to give the letters some 3D boost!

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.
