Colour INKspiration Challenge #CI176

Hello and welcome,

My name is Vicki Boucher, and I am from Melbourne, Australia. Tonight, is the latest Colour INKspiration Challenge #CI176 this photo was chosen by Colour INKspiration Crew Member, Lou Kitzelman. This sweet little bird is an Australian Pink Robin.

The chosen colour combination for #CI176 is Petunia Pop, Granny Apple Green and Basic Black. As well as the chosen colours you may also like to add Basic White, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Basic Beige 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: Lemon Lime Twist instead of Granny Apple Green .... for example).

The challenge will run for almost 3 weeks until 7pm (AEDT) on Monday 11th November 2024 details to follow at the end of my blog.

Here's my card for the challenge I've used the Online Exclusive Changing Leaves Bundle which includes the Changing Leaves stamp set, dies and hybrid embossing folder. I used all three for my card.

I used the large leaves image from the stamp set stamped in Petunia Pop and Granny Apple Green then I used the coordinating die and hybrid embossing folder. Using Paper Snips I snipped the leaves so I could arrange them differently for the layout.

I just love the detailed leaves dies they are my go-to from this bundle, once die-cut out I like to add colour to them using a Blending Brush.

The white background panel is embossed using the Changing Leaves Embossing Folder, I do like to have a crisp white background and add splatter by using an old Basic Black Stampin' Marker. 

Before adding all of the images to the card I added a 3/4 circle in Basic White cardstock, I used the largest die from the Spotlight on Nature Dies and added Basic Black Splatter to the circle.

I also had to use the Cheerful Daisies stamp set and dies, I added in just one daisy stamped in Black Memento ink onto Basic White Cardstock. 

Next, I used a retired black and white twine and tied it into a bow. The sentiment is from the Simply Said stamp set and is heat embossed. I used the label die from the Changing Leaves dies. To finish off the card I added a few of the Petunia Pop embellishments which are from the 2024-2026 In Color Resin Dots. 

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.
