Colour INKspiration Challenge #CI167

 Hello and welcome, 

My name is Vicki Boucher, and I am from Melbourne, Australia. Tonight, is the latest Colour INKspiration Challenge #CI167 this photo was chosen by Colour INKspiration Crew Member, Bronwyn. 

The chosen colour combination for #CI167 is Pretty in Pink, Basic White and Basic Black. As well as the chosen colours you may also like to add Very Vanilla, Basic Beige, 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: Bubble Bath instead of Pretty in Pink.... for example).

The challenge will run for almost 2 weeks until 7pm (AEST) on Monday 24th June 2024 details to follow at the end of my blog.

I just love this colour palette and the inspiration photo is gorgeous! Pretty in Pink was on top of the list when I first saw this new In Color, it's so much fun! I used Attention Shoppers bundle for my card and the circle die from the Spotlight on Nature dies is perfect to showcase the shopping bags in the trolley.

I used the paper piecing technique by stamping the gift bag image onto Pretty in Pink 2024-2026 In Color 6x6 Designer Series Paper and also on Basic White cardstock. Then I fussy cut out the images and added the white carry bag handles to the pretty pattern paper. To create the left gift bag, I drew pink polka dots using Pretty in Pink Stampin' Write Marker. The bags are full of gifts which was fun to do.

The inked up black and white background was using all of the smaller images and some of the sentiments onto Basic White cardstock panel leaving some white space in between the stamped images. On the other side of the stamped panel, I added a strip of Pretty in Pink In Color DSP and Pretty in Pink Bordered Ribbon.

I created a large pink bow by using Pretty in Pink Bordered Ribbon, to do this I use the Paper Snips and cut along the center of the ribbon until there's enough length to tie a bow. Losen the strands by gently pulling the strands away and then carefully tie into a bow. Tip, make sure you don't have any glue on your fingers or else the threads will stick to your fingers.

To finish off the card I heat embossed the sentiment and added a few of Pretty in Pink embellishments to the card.

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.
