Colour INKspiration Challenge #CI173

 

 Hello and welcome, 

My name is Vicki Boucher, and I am from Melbourne, Australia. Tonight, is the latest Colour INKspiration Challenge #CI173 this photo was chosen by Colour INKspiration Crew Member, Bronwyn Eastley (Colour INKspiration founder).

The chosen colour combination for #CI173 is Very Vanilla, Shy Shamrock and Cherry Cobbler. As well as the chosen colours you may also like to add Basic White, Basic Black, 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: Real Red instead of Cherry Cobbler .... for example).

The challenge will run for almost 2 weeks until 7pm (AEST) on Monday 23rd September 2024 details to follow at the end of my blog.

Today's card is a Christmas card using the Snowy Wonder bundle (164125) it's from the Snowy Scenes Suite Collection and it's located on page 33 of the Stampin' Up! 2024 Mini Catalogue. I instantly fell in love with the cute penguin from the stamp set and I just had to get it. He's so cute!

I stamped the images using the challenge colours onto Basic White cardstock and the penguin using Tuxedo Black Memento ink. Then I used the coordinating Snowy Wonder Dies to die-cut out the images.

There are two different types of dies to make a snow globe where you could make a shaker card, but I went with a simpler way by using Very Vanilla cardstock die-cut out the snow globe and then add the different elements to the snow globe.

I made a background water colour wash using Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper and Shy Shamrock ink. To create this effect, I first add water with the Water Painter to the watercolor paper, next I add diluted ink to the paper and push it around with the Heat Tool until the ink dries out. I like to go back and add more ink to the paper to achieve a deeper colour.

I added some embellishments to the card using Very Vanilla Earth Tones Shimmer Gems (164070) and Textural Elements (159966).

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.
