Colour INKspiration Challenge #91

 Hello and welcome,

It's been awhile since I last have written up a blog and I wanted to share with you the latest Colour INKspiration Challenge which has been running for the last couple of weeks. I've been so busy with the the lead up to Christmas with our family hamper business and now that Christmas is over I can relax and get back into the craft room. 

The inspiration for the challenge is this fun and colourful photo chosen by crew member Lou Kitzelman. 

Choose at least three of the colours from this amazing colour palette. The colours for #CI91 are Mango Melody, Granny Apple Green, Bermuda Bay, Pretty Peacock, Magenta Madness, Gorgeous Grape and Glitter, you may also add Whisper White, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Sahara Sand, Basic Black and metallicsto your project. We also allow 'Ivory' and 'Bronze' in the Stampin' Blends. If you don't have all the colour palette, feel free to use the closest SU substitute (ie: Pumpkin Pie instead of Mango Melody .... you get the drift). 

The colours I've chosen are Magenta Madness, Bermuda Bay, Granny Apple Green and Whisper White for my project. I've used some new Stampin' Up! products from the new January to June 2021 Mini Catalogue and Saleabration Jan to Feb 2021 Catalogue.

The Salebration FREE product is the Oh so Ombre DSP, by spending $90 in Stampin' Up! products this is yours for free! The colours in the DSP are Bermuda Bay, Granny Apple Green, Rococo Rose and Blackberry Bliss. I've cut strips in different lengths and layered them on a sheet of Whisper White Cardstock. I've just love the Ombre look.

Adding Magenta Madness as my third colour was perfect balance with the cool colours. Using the new Blending Brush with Magenta Madness Ink and slowly adding colour onto a piece of Whisper White Cardstock. I would add more colour as I go and until I was happy with the Ombre look. 

The Floral Gallery Dies are on page 34 of the Jan to June Mini Catalogue and the words Just Want to Say Dies was perfect for the card. Layering them onto Stitched Nested Labels in Whisper White Cardstock. The floral stamped images are from the Art Gallery Stamp Set they are stamped in Bermuda Bay and Magenta Madness and die cut out.

The Art Gallery Stamp Set has lots of different greetings and I've chosen I Miss You! Using Stampin' Dimensionals for more depth to finish off my project.

We hope you can participate this round and we look forward to seeing a variety of projects using the challenge colours. Please ensure that your project is new and made specially for this challenge.

#CI91 will run until 7pm (ADET) on Monday January 11th.

Just a reminder to upload your challenge pics straight to the discussion wall and not in an album.

Happy Stamping!

Stampin' Up! Colour Creations ~ Week 40 ~ Pumpkin Pie ~ Art With Heart

Hello and welcome to my blog with the lovely ladies from Art With Heart Colour Creations Blog Hop.

Today is week 41 and we are playing along with Pumpkin Pie which is one of the Regals Collection Colours.

When I think of Pumpkin Pie I see the colours of Autumn. Which is the season we are in now for Australia and it's such a beautiful time of year. In saying that I decided to use the cute squirrel stamp from Fable Friends which is in the Occasions Catalogue 2019.

The squirrel has been stamped with Stazon Jet Black Ink on Shimmery White Cardstock. I used an Aqua Painter and coloured in the squirrel with Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze, Blueberry Bushell and Granny Apple Green. 

For the background I used Shimmery White Cardstock and sponged some Pumpkin Pie Ink onto the Cardstock. Once I was happy with the effect I spritzed water using the Stampin' Spritzer and let it dry. Once dried I splattered black ink using the Stampin' Write Marker in Basic Black. To do this effect you use the brush end of your marker with the inside of the lid and flick the Ink onto your Cardstock. I love to create with this look. 

To finish off the card I used for the card base Very Vanilla Cardstock and then a piece of Pumpkin Pie Cardstock. I used Basic Black Cardstock and die cut out using the 2nd largest circle from the Stitched Shapes Framelits. To tie in with the card I used Basic Black Solid Baker's Twine.

Thank you for visiting my blog and now it's time to visit Catherine Proctor's blog  and the other Art With Heart Team's creations.
