Colour INKspiration Challenge #CI177

 

Hello and welcome,

My name is Vicki Boucher, and I am from Melbourne, Australia. Tonight, is the latest Colour INKspiration Challenge #CI177 this photo was chosen by Colour INKspiration Crew Member, Cathy Pinchbeck.

The chosen colour combination for #CI177 is Melon Mambo, Blueberry Bushel, Pretty Peacock and Gold. As well as the chosen colours you may also like to add Basic White, Basic Black, 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: Berry Burst instead of Melon Mambo .... for example).

The challenge will run for almost 2 weeks until 7pm (AEDT) on Monday 25th November 2024 details to follow at the end of my blog.

I'm a little bit late with this latest challenge as we've been really busy with house renovations, our family gift hamper business is in full swing with Christmas coming up, plus we are off to a farmers' market in the Yarra Valley tomorrow and it was mine and hubby's 20th wedding anniversary. So, this week has been crazy!

Here's my card for the latest colour challenge, I've made a Christmas card using these colours and combining different Stampin' Up! products by mixing them up.

How about a shop till you drop type of card using the trolly die-cut pieces to make a gold trolly, add lots of shopping bags full of Christmas decorations, Christmas tree, Christmas presents, a bottle of bubbly and a bunch of flowers. 

This unique card was so much fun I used the Attention Shoppers bundle for the trolly, shopping bags, flowers and bottle of bubbly. To change things up I added stamped images from the Snowy Wonder bundle and who said you can't have a pink penguin! The pink and white Christmas tree is from the Decorative Trees dies.

To create the blue background, I used a smaller piece of Basic White cardstock and applied Blueberry Bushel ink with the Blending Brush. Next, I splattered water droplets with a Water Painter onto the coloured card and to dry them I used the Heat Tool. 

I used the Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder and embossed the Basic White cardstock panel. To finish off the card I stamped the sentiment in Melon Mambo ink onto white cardstock. 

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.
