Welcome to another Colour INKspiration Challenge.

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

As well as the chosen colour combination for #CI154, Berry Burst, Poppy Parade, Pool Party and Crumb Cake, you may also add Basic White, Very Vanilla 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#154 album. 

It took me a while to find a stamp set that I thought would work with this colour palette. Eventually I decided that I could use these colours with the It’s a Science Stamp Set.

I started by stamping the atomic structure image and chemical structure image across the Pool Party card front.

Then I wrapped a length of Black & White Gingham Ribbon around a panel of Pool Party card.

I used StazOn Jet Black ink to stamp the microscope image on to a piece of Holographic Trio Specialty Paper. Then I fussy cut the microscope and placed it on the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the quartet of beakers and test tubes twice before fussy cutting each of them separately. The bubbles were stamped inside the round bottom flask.

Berry Burst, Crumb Cake, Poppy Parade and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends were used to ‘fill’ each of the vessels with colourful ‘liquids’. The black Stampin’ Write Marker was used for one of the test tubes. Wink of Stella was used to give the ‘liquids’ a little shimmer.

I stamped the clipboard twice, fussy cut them and coloured them.

The greeting was stamped with Poppy Parade. Then I pierced a hole in the top of both clipboards and used a black Square Brad to hold them together. I popped a Mini Glue Dot between them to keep them staggered.

Can you see the effect the holographic paper has? A piece of this specialty paper is in the bottom right hand corner of this photo – it was originally a silvery colour but appears blue and green in the corner. Yet, the microscope appears purple. How amazing is that!

One of the beakers was stamped on the card insert and envelope. Finally, I added several black Classic Matte Dots to the card.

I’m not sure what I’ll be sharing tomorrow. But until then, happy stamping.
