Well, at last I am back contributing the Colour INKspiration challenges and this one is for our 172nd challenge!
Today’s picture which has inspired our colour palette was chosen by Colour INKspiration Crew Member, Monica Formosa.
I hope that you are inspired to join the challenge.
As well as the chosen colour combination for #CI172, Peach Pie, Garden Green and Pebbled Path, you may also add Basic White, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Basic Beige, 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! (or any other brand) substitute – Basic Grey instead of Pebbled Path for example.
For my project I chose one of the newly available stamp sets that have come across from Close to My Heart. The Home Stamp Set was one that really caught my eye.
The Pebble Path card base has panel of Garden Green paper from the Regals 6″x 6″ Designer Series Paper.
I stamped the ‘is where the heart is’ onto a narrow piece of Peach Pie paper from 2023-2025 In Colour 6″x 6″ Designer Series Paper. This was then positioned on the Garden Green panel using Stampin’ Dimensoinals.
The large ‘home’ was stamped twice. The first panel was glued directly to the panel. The second ‘home’ was coloured with the Garden Green pencil from the Watercolour Pencil pack 2 and ‘blended’ in with a Blender Pen. I fussy cut the three coloured letters and placed them over the corresponding letters, with dimensionals.
Three lengths of white Baker’s Twine, from the Essentials Pack, were coloured using the Dark Peach Pie and Light Pebble Path Stampin’ Blends. These were then wrapped around the panel and ties in a bow.
The house was stamped and coloured using both Light and Dark Blends Pens in Peach Pie and Pebble Path.
I used the Colour Lifter to to lighten the ‘glass’ in the windows. They then had Clear Wink of Stella painted on them.
After fussy cutting the house it was then added using dimensionals.
I added more dimensionals to the back of the front panel and placed it on the card base.
Three Pebble Path Dots, from the 2023-2025 In Colour Dots, were placed across the front.
The card insert and back of the envelope had more of the Peach Pie DSP added.
It has been wonderful to welcome Makers, from Close to My Heart, into Stampin’ Up! and a treat to be able to order CTMH products that have transitioned across to our online catalogue.
Tomorrow I will have a Global Design Project card to share with you.
Until then, happy stamping.
