HERE IS MY CI#162 COLOUR INKSPIRATION PROJECT

Welcome to 162nd challenge at Colour INKspiration!

Today’s picture which has inspired our colour palette was chosen by Colour INKspiration Crew Member, Rose Packer . What a stunning snow scene image.

As well as the chosen colour combination for #CI162, Azure Afternoon, Boho Blue, Early Espresso and Very Vanilla, you may also add Basic White, Crumb Cake, Basic Black and metallics to your project. We also allow ‘Ivory’, ‘Bronze’ and ‘Natural Tones’ in the Stampin’ Blends. If you don’t have the colours in our palette, feel free to use the closest Stampin’ Up! substitute.

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.

CI#162 will run for almost TWO weeks and will end at 7 pm (AEDT) on Monday April 8th.

We hope you can participate this round and look forward to seeing a variety of projects using the challenge colours. Happy stamping!

For my project I chose to use the Let’sChat Stamp Set.

For this card I used a Very Vanilla card base.

I stamped the telephone bases in each of the challenge colours and then fussy cut them. The handset was stamped, fussy cut and has Clear Wink of Stella painted across it.

The two blue telephone bases were adhered directly onto the card base.

I roughly positioned the Early Espresso base and made a light pencil mark to guide the placement of the greeting image. Once it was stamped, I then placed the headset using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the ‘ring’ several times on the card front, inside the card and on the back of the envelope using the Azure Afternoon and Boho Blue inks.

Finally, I added some of the Very Vanilla Classic Matte Dots to the card front.

Until my next Colour INKspiration project, happy stamping.

WELL, IT’S WEDNESDAY & I HAVE SOMETHING WONDERFUL TO SHARE

After colouring the large magnolia images over the last two projects, I decided to create a magnolia wreath.

I started by adding a 9″ x 9″ piece of Pecan Pie behind the white frame mat.

Then I stamped, coloured and die cut 7 magnolias for this framed piece. I also did the same with the magnolia bud and leaves.

The large magnolias were then positioned on the Pecan Pie. Then I placed the buds and leaves. When I was happy with the shape of the wreath I secured the magnolias with dimensoinals. The buds and leaves were then glues into place.

I used a greeting from the Lifetime of Love Stamp Set and stamped it in Pecan Pie. It was then cut using one of the Nested Essentials Dies.

A length of Lemon Lolly Sheer Ribbon was folded in half and attached to the back of the greeting.

I added dimensionals to the back of the greeting and positioned it, as you can see.

Finally, I added some Lemon Lolly gems from the Tinsel Gems 4 Pack.

Tomorrow I have a 3D project to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

TODAY IS TUESDAY & IT’S TIME FOR SOME TIPS & TECHNIQUES

Today’s card combines dry embossing and colouring techniques.

Using the Delightful Doily Hrbrid Embossing Folder, I used a panel of White Vellum to create a beautifully textured layer to place over the Calypso Coral card base.

TIP: To adhere this embossed panel, to the card front, I used Mini Glue Dots. I positoined them behind some of the circular floral centres.

The large magnolia image was stamped, coloured and die cut. Before placing it on the card front, I painted it with Clear Wink of Stella.

I used my Dark Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blend to colour a length of Silver & White Sheer Ribbon.

TIP: You don’t always need to stamp an image outline in Tuxedo Black Memento ink. For this image I stamped the flower in Pecan Pie.

The ribbon was then wrapped under the flower and secured with Stampin’ Seal.

The birthday greeting, from the Sweetly Scripted Stamp Set, was stamped using Calypso Coral. Then the greeting was trimmed down and added to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

TIP: Use the same Stampin’ Blend to colour a number of Neutrals Adhesive-backed Sequins.

The coloured sequins were then added to the card.

The magnolia bud was stamped on the card insert and the back of the envelope.

Tomorrow I have a wonderful decor piece to share.

Until then, happy stamping.
