Colour INKspiration Challenge #CI112

Hello and welcome,

It's the latest Colour INKspiration Challenge #CI112 and this photo was chosen by me! I just love the Australian flora in this photo and it's a great colour combo for the challenge.

The colour combination for #CI112 is Daffodil Delight, Poppy Parade, Mint Macaron and Gray Granite. As well as the chosen colours you may also add Basic White, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Basic Black, Sahara Sand and metallics to 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: So Saffron instead of Daffodil Delight .... you get the drift). 

The challenge will run for almost 2 weeks until 7pm (AEST) on Monday 6th December 2021 details to follow at the end of my blog.

Tonight's card I've used the Whimsical Trees Stamp Set and Christmas Trees Dies from the Stampin' Up! Mini Catalogue 2021. The sentiment is from the Holly Jolly Wishes Stamp Set with lots of masking with sticky notes to separate each of the words.

I wanted a starry night for the background, so I've used the dotty tree stamp to create the white cluster of stars on Gray Granite Cardstock. It could also be used as snow as well. I've used Versamark Ink and randomly stamped on the Cardstock and sprinkled White Stampin' Emboss Powder then heat set with the Heat Tool.

Using the largest circle die from the Layering Circles Dies in Basic White Cardstock and stamping the tree image in Mint Macaron Ink.

The two larger trees are stamped in Gray Granite and Mint Macaron Ink. Using White Baker's Twine I've wrapped the Twine around the tree and decorated it with the baubles and star in the challenge colours.

To finish off the card I've used more White Baker's Twine and the sentiment was added using Stampin' Dimensionals.

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.

Use all of the challenge colours (or close substitutions) unless stated.

Colour Creations Blog Hop - Week 24 Magenta Madness

 

 Hello and welcome

Tonight I'll be sharing with you Week 24 of Colour Creations Blog Hop with the Art With Heart Team in Australia. 

Each week there will be a Colour Creations blog hop showcasing Stampin' Up! Colors with a selection of members from the Art With Heart Team who will be joining in. I'm looking forward to seeing their beautiful projects using the Stampin' Up! Colors. You'll be able to hop around by clicking on the next link at the end of my blog.

The colour for tonight is Magenta Madness which is part of the 2020 - 2022 In Colors Collection and comes in a number of different mediums such as Ink, Cardstock, DSP etc....I've used Magenta Madness with Basic White for my hand made Christmas card.

Well I just love Magenta Madness and I just could not resist missing out on this latest blog hop with the Art With Heart Team. I've created a fun watercolout technique which I recently saw over on Tammy Wilson's blog at Stampspaperscissors her creations are always so inspiring and creative.

The water colour Christmas trees which is from the Whimsy & Wonder Suite on page 24 - 25 of the Mini Catalogue. I've used the Christmas Trees Dies and Water color paper which is best used when using lots of water and ink. The best result is to add lots of coloured water and move it around with the Heat Tool. I also splattered ink onto the watercolor paper for a fun effect.

For the background panel I've added Magenta Madness Ink onto Basic White Cardstock with the Blending Brush. 

Then I've used the Candy Canes Stamp Set which is also from the Mini Catalogue. I've only used a section of the very large stamp, I've stamped it in Versamark Ink and sprinkled White Stampin' Emboss Powder and heat set with the Heat Tool.

The trees are layered over the Candy Canes and I've added the stunning White Glittered Organdy Ribbon underneath the greeting which is from Holy Jolly Wishes Stamp Set.

Colour INKspiration Challenge #CI106

  

Hello and welcome,

I'm a little bit late in posting this blog for the latest Colour INKspiration Challenge here are the details below. 

It's the latest Colour INKspiration Challenge #CI106 and this photo was chosen by Colour INKspiration Crew Member, Lou Kitzelman. It's a stunning photo and I love the colours for this latest challenge. 

The colour combination for #CI106 is Basic White, Real Red, Pool Party and Night of Navy. As well as the chosen colours you may also add Very Vanilla, Basic Black, Crumb Cake, Sahara Sand and metallics to 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: Poppy Parade instead of Real Red .... you get the drift). 

The challenge will run for almost 2 weeks until 7pm (AEST) on Monday 6th September 2021 details to follow at the end of my blog.

For my card I've created a Christmas card using the Whimsical Trees Bundle which is on page 24 - 25 of the Stampin' Up! August - December 2021 Mini Catalogue. 

The Wonderful Snowflakes are iridescent foil snowflakes and I've used them to create a stencil background with Night of Navy Ink and I lightly added ink with the Blending Brush to the Basic White Cardstock panel. This was also created for the Pool Party Tailor Made Tag die-cut image.

One thing I love to do is create an Ombre look when it comes to paper crafting and Blending Brushes are the perfect tool to do this. The large Christmas tree is in Night of Navy Ink onto Basic White Cardstock and die-cut out using the Christmas Trees Dies. The stitched garland die in Basic White layered over the tree and I added a few of the Real Red Wonderful Gems for Christmas ornaments.

The trio of the smaller Christmas trees are also from the Christmas Trees Dies, die-cut out in Night of Navy Ombre Specialty Paper and the other two trees are pieces of scraps from the iridescent foil which is from the Wonderful Snowflakes. One of them is in Real Red Ink, coloured with the Blending Brush which gives you a softer pinkish/red look. 

I love to create lots of layers, so adding a few of the Tailor Made Tag Dies is always fun. The top tag is in Night of Navy Ombre look again onto Basic White Cardstock. I've tied the two tags together with Pool Party Striped Ribbon and White Baker's Twine.

To finish off the card I've added a couple of the Snowflakes, one of them has a little of Night of Navy Ink which is from stenciling the background panel. The greeting is from the Whimsical Trees Stamp Set stamped in Real Red Ink onto a scrap of Basic White Cardstock and fussy cut out.

I hope you can participate in this latest round and as we so 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.

Colour INKspiration Challenge #CI106 will run until 7pm (ADET) on Monday 6 September 2021.
