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.

TIME TO SHARE MY #160 COLOUR INKSPIRATION PROJECT

Welcome to our 160th challenge at Colour INKspiration!

Today’s picture which has inspired our colour palette was chosen by Colour INKspiration Crew Member, Nicole WilsonVicki Boucher.

As well as the chosen colour combination for #CI160, Bubble Bath, Lemon Lolly, Soft Sea Foam, Balmy BLue and Highland Heather. You may also add Basic White, Very Vanilla, 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.

For my contribution to the Crew Album, I opted for the Excellent Eggs Bundle.

I started by adding a watercolour wash to some pieces of Fluid 100 Watercolour Paper.

Then I stamped the bunny egg image over the five watercoloured pieces. The next step was to cut the images with the smallest egg die

To fit five eggs across the card front, it needed to be a slimline card.

I cut a 1/4″ strip of each of challenge colours and adhered them across the centre of the card. Then I trimmed the ends.

I cut the Balmy Blue and Soft Sea Foam eggs in half.

Each of the eggs then had Stampin’ Dimensionals attached to their backs. Then I placed the eggs across the card front.

The Easter greeting was stamped and then cut using one of the Autumn Leaves Dies.

I added the other half of the Balmy Blue egg inside the card.

Finally, I added some Purple Fine Shimmer Gems to the card.

This was a fun card to make.

Happy stamping.

WELCOME TO THE FIRST Colour INKspiration CHALLENGE OF 2024

2024 kicks off with Colour INKspiration’s #158 Challenge.

This challenge will run for 5 weeks, so you will have loads of time to create your own project and share it with us – https://www.facebook.com/groups/349642308720075

One of our team, Lou Kitzelman, chose this image for our challenge. (Picture credit – Trigg Beach, Perth, WA – https://www.instagram.com/p/BgjAffnFp7x)

This week I am featuring the Adoring Hearts Bundle, Thoughtful Moments Hybrid Embossing Folder and Brayer. So I have used these products and the challenge colours to create this card.

I started by using the new Stampin’ Brayer to create the background panel, using three of the challenge colours. This is going to be one of my favourite techniques I think.

The next step was to adhere this to a Thick Basic White card base.

I used 6″ x 6″ pieces of card stock and embossed and die cut the hearts. These were then positioned on the front of the card and secured with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The next step was to transfer Blueberry Bushl ink to the logo side of the embossing folder using the brayer. I carefully placed the coordinating die on the same side of the folder and positioned a 6″ x 6″ piece of Basic White card stock over the die.

After running the embossing folder throught the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, I had all of the greetings stamped and cut.

I used Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach the ‘Love You’ greeting on the front of the card.

With 40 embossed and die cut hearts leftover, I chose one for the inside of the card and one for the envelope.

To finish the card I added some Blueberry Bushel gems, from the Tinsel Gems Four-Pack, to the card front.

Tomorrow is 3D Thursday and I have a cute little gift box to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.
