Colour INKspiration Challenge #CI189

 

Hello and welcome,

My name is Vicki Boucher, and I am from Melbourne, Australia. Tonight, is the latest Colour INKspiration Challenge #CI189 this photo was chosen by Colour INKspiration Crew Member, Monica Formosa.

The chosen colour combination for #CI189 is Darling Duckling, Melon Mambo, Cloud Cover, and Secret Sea. 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: Balmy Blue instead of Cloud Cover .... for example).

The challenge will run for almost 2 weeks until 7pm (AEDT) on Monday 23rd June 2025 details to follow at the end of my blog.

I just love the leaf die from the Tankful Garden dies from the online exclusive Thankful Garden bundle. I used the die to die-cut out multiple leaves using the 2025-27 In Colors DSP and formed a wreath. I layered a circle in Basic Beige cardstock using a circle die from the Stylish Shapes dies.

Next, I worked with the Sweet Blooms bundle, combining the stamp set and dies for the sentiment on Melon Mambo cardstock and I heat embossed the "Hello". To add some texture, I used the Exposed Brick Embossing Folder with Basic Beige cardstock. I love how the Melon Mambo color really stands out more against the neutral tones. Digging through my retired ribbon stash, I found some Melon Mambo thick baker's twine #useyourstash and tied it into a bow.

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.

Challenge guidelines:

• Create a NEW project made specifically for this challenge.
• Use all of the challenge colours (or close substitutions) unless stated.
• Upload only ONE picture per entry straight to the discussion wall and NOT in an album.

Colour INKspiration Challenge #CI189 will run until 7pm (AEDT) on Monday 23rd June 2025.
