IT’S TIME FOR COLOUR INKspiration CHALLENGE #175

For this challenge I decided to continue with my Penciled Pear cards.

The outlined pencil work that make the images perfect for colouring.

So, what do pears look like when coloured with this palette?

I started by stamping the cluster of four smaller pears, in each of the three key colours, on each side of the Basic White layer.

Then I wrapped a long length of Linen Thread three times around the layer and tied a bow. Using a smaller length of the same thread, I was able to a second bow.

I stamped the larger pear, in Crushed Curry, and then coloured it using the Light Crushed Curry Crumb Cake Blends pens.

Applying some Colour Lifter allowed me to create some light and shade on the pear. Finally, I painted the pear with Clear Wink of Stella.

The large pear was cut using one of the Perennial Postage Dies. The greeting was also stamped in Crushed Curry and cut with another one of the dies.

Both of the die cut pieces were attached to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The card insert and back of the envelope were stamped with the small cluster of pears.

Finally, I added some of the Crushed Curry dots, from the Dots for Days pack. They added that little extra embellishment.

Until my next project, happy stamping.

TIME TO SHARE MY COLOUR INKSPIRATION CI#173 PROJECT

The latest Colour INKspiration challenge is such a great colour combination.

For my project I chose the More Than Autumn Bundle.

The Very Vanilla cardbase had a Cherry Cobbler layer and an embossed Shy Shamrock later adhered to it.

I used the So Swirly Embossing Folder to create the texture on the Shy Shamrock layer.

Then all the fun started – three lattes stamped, die cut and coloured. And five stamped, die cut and coloured donuts.

After positioning these tasty morsels across the front of the card I added thedie cut words. It was so easy to place them on the card because I used Adhesive Sheet behind the Very Vanilla card.

I took a length of Silver & White Sheer Ribbon, coloured it with Light Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blend, cut it down into strands and tied a bow. After popping a Mini GLue Dot behind the bow, I placed it on Cherry Cobbler coffee cup.

I stamped, cut and coloured additional donuts for the card insert and back of the envelope.

Finally, I coloured some Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels using the Dark Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blend pen and placed them on the card.

Colour INKspiration Challenge #155 – TIMELESS ARRANGEMENTS

Welcome to another Colour INKspiration Challenge.

This inspiration picture which has inspired our colour palette was chosen by Crew Member, Monica Formosa. 

Picture credit – https://musefraisedesbois.tumblr.com/post/90783247152

As well as the chosen colour combination for #CI155, Fresh Freesia, Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape and Cherry Cobbler, you may also add Basic White, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake and metallics to your project. We also allow Ivory, Bronze and Natural Tones in Stampin’ Blends. If you don’t have the colours in our palette, feel free to use the closest Stampin’ Up! substitute.

To get your creative ideas flowing make sure you check out the Crew’s Projects in the CI#155 album. 

While I love this photograph – it’s colours and textural features, it was a tough one to decide what to create.

After spending time scanning my stamp sets, dies and embossing folders, I decided on the Timeles Arrangements Bundle and Basics 3D Emossing Folder – Flowers.

I started with a Fresh Freesia card base and then took a Basic White panel to emboss with the Flowers 3D Basics Embossing Folder.Using the Dark Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blend pen, I coloured a length of White Herringbone Ribbon. This ribbon was wrapped around the embossed panel and secured with Tear and Tape.

I used the dies you can see above to cut several floral panels and individual flowers, in each of the challenge colours.

They were layered and glued together.

The greeting was stamped in Gorgeous Grape before cutting it using one of the rectangular dies from the Timeless Arrangements Dies.

The layered flowers were then adhered behind the greeting panel. Stampin’ Dimensionals were placed behind the greeting so that it would sit up above the ribbon.

I stamped the trio of small flowers on the card insert and envelope.

Finally, I added several Fresh Freesia embellishments, from the Tinsel Gems 3 Pack, to the card front.

I’m so happy with this card! What do you think?

Until next time, happy stamping.
