CATCHING UP WITH COLOUR INKSPIRATION #CI143

My last post was a month ago – I know, where has the time gone and why have I been so inconsistent.

In that time, I totally missed posting my #CI142 creation.

No photo description available.

The colours for the latest challenge are the new 2023-2025 In Colours.

May be an image of boots and text that says 'Copper Clay #143 COLOUR e NKSPIRATION CHALLENGES In Wild Wheat Boho Blue the of 3 least at Moody Mauve hoos Pebbled Path'

It will be interesting to see how many use all the new In Colours in their challenge projects.

Here is my contribution.

I was inspired by Patty Bennett’s cards showcasing thumbnail images of her father’s watercolour paintings. His paintings are so stunning. It is no wonder that Patty is as talented as she is – apple/tree!

For my card, I chose a small panel from one of the designer papers from the Fresh as a Daisy 12″x 12″ DSP bundle.

The easel was stamped and die cut. Then I cut the ‘canvas’ in half to accommodate the larger DSP image.

I used a sharp cutting tool to create slits in the easel to ‘hold’ the ‘canvas’ image.

I used trimmmed half a sheet of Copper Clay for the card base.

A panel of Boho Blue cardstock was given texture by using the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder.

I used my Stamparatus to stamp the paint brushes evenly down a strip of Basic White cardstock. The brushes were coloured in the new In Colours.

The paintbrush strip, easel and sentiment panel were all attached to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

To finish the card, I ties a bow using the Boho Blue Jute Trim and some of the coordinating 2023-2025 In Colour Dots.

The card insert and envelope each have the paint brushes stamped in Pebbled Path.

I am so pleased that I have caught up with my Colour INKspiration challenge post – NOW, it’s time to make sure that the next one is added within the deadlines.

My next challenge is to start participating in the GDP challenges again.

Until then, happy stamping.
