ONE MORE PROJECT FOR TODAY

The last project for today is my Colour INKspiration contribution for this challenge – CI#120.

May be an image of flower, body of water and text that says '#120 Polished Pink Soft Sea Foam Just Jade Misty Moonlight / COLOUR NKSPIRATION CHALLENGES'

The Sun Prints Suite cordinated beautifully with these colours, as you can see.

I cut a piece of Soft Sea Foam and used the same colour ink to stamp off the fern image across it. The panel was then attached it to the Basic White card base.

I cut two of the wreath layers in White Vellum using the Natural Prints Dies. The first wreath was attached the stamped layer using Mini Glue Dots before rotating the second wreath and securing it with glue dots also.

The Just Jade and Soft Sea Foam leaves and branches were cut and positioned around the wreah.

The flowers were stamped, coloured and fussy cut. After ‘scrunching’ the flowers to add texture and shape, they were added to the wreath also.

I took a length of Sweet Sorbet Metallic Woven Ribbon to create another #tammybow. A Mini Stampin’ Dimensional was used to secure it in place.

The sentiment wasstamped and I used this unique banner die to cut it out. Then I coloured three Polished Dots with the Dark Misty Moonlight Stampin’ Blends pen.

Several more Polished Dots were then placed in the centre of the flowers.

Make sure you head over to Facebook and check out the projects the Colour INKspiration team have created and join us in the challenge.

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

Until then, happy stamping.

SWEET FRIEND

Hello and thanks for popping by to see today’s project.

This card was made for the Colour INKspiration challenge. The image is gorgeous and the colours a fascinating combination.

I decided that I would try my hand at some alcohol colouring – I used the Stampin’ Blends to colour patches onto White Vellum and then spritzed isopropyl alcohol to move and blend the colours. I made a couple of samples so that I could choose which pieces yo use.

As I have not added the Picture This Dies to my collection yet, I opted to make my own version using the Layering Circles Dies. These gave me some windows for my coloured vellum to peek through. Then I cut the curved border piece, following the curved edge where the ink pooled.

Then I stamped the scales and cupcakes from the Measure of Love Stamp Set onto Shimmery White cardstock using Jet Black StazOn ink. This is definitely a colouring technique card. I used the five colours, from the #CI101 challenge, and a Water Painter to colour the scales and cakes. Taking my trusty paper snips I fussy cut images and used Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop them up on the card front.

The Sweet Friend greeting was stamped three times and trimmed before being added to the front also. The last element added to the front of the card were the 2021-2023 In Colour Jewels. The card insert and envelope were stamped with the cup cakes.

I’m quite happy with the way this card turned out, especially the coloured vellum pieces. Who would be the ‘sweet friend’ you would give this card to?

I wonder what the #CI102 colour combination will be?

Happy stamping.

HAPPY 100th COLOUR INKSPIRATION

Hello and thank you so much for popping by today.

Today is all about celebrating Colour INKspiration’s 100th challenge. I have only been participating in these colour challenges for a short period of time and recently enjoyed looking back over all 100 challenges. Thank you to Bronwyn Eastley and the CI team for providing all of these colour combinations to inspire our creativity, since January 11, 2017 . You can see all 100 colour combinations just by clicking on the #100 image.

This the colour combination for #CI100.

Here is the card I created.

I used the zig zag die from the new Basic Borders Dies to cut a number of coloured strips of cardstock. Once cut, I then adhered them to a piece of Basic White cardstock. This was then embossed using the new Pretty Flowers Embossing Folder. The embossed cardstock was then trimmed down to be used as a card front layer.

Using a greeting from the Create With Friends Stamp Set, the ‘celebrate’ was stamped three times – once each each in the three challenge colours. ‘Celebrate’ was the perfect greeting to choose for this 100th challenge celebration. The greetings were cut using one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies before being stacked and a small hole punched, to accommodate a brad from the Round & Square Brads. The greetings were fanned out and secured using a Mini Glue Dot on each layer. The layered greeting was then popped up onto the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

A strip of the embossed coloured cardstock was added to the card insert and some die offcuts were added to the card front.

The final touch was to add some 2020-2022 In Colour Square Gems to the card front. I really like that so many of the different dies are stitched, making them so easy to coordinate.

This is such a wonderfully vibrant colour combination and a perfect way to celebrate 100 Colour INKspiration challenges.

Happy stamping … and many more challenges to keep us inspired.
