I have missed the past two challenges but now I’m back in the swing of things.

This challenge features Calypso Coral, Old Olive and Soft Sea Foam.

My starting point for this card were the three colour circles you can see above. It has been a long time since I have used coloured shapes and dry embossing tp create a textured background for a card.

I used the two smallest circles from the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut the shapes in each colour. Then they were positioned across the Basic White panel and glued in place.

This panel was then embossed using the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder.

A length of Iridescent Striped Trim was wrapped around the embossed panel. Then I tied a short length of the trim to create this effect.

I used the Rest Relax Enjoy Stamp Set to decorate the card.

For the vase I stamped the glass bottle and flower. Then stamped the flower onto a Post It note to create a mask so that I could stamp the leaves.

I extended the stems of the flower and leaves using my Basic Slack Stampin’ Write Marker.

After the jar, vase and dispenser were stamped and coloured, I fussy cut them and attached them to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The greeting was stamped before being cut using the largest banner die from the Stylish Shapes Dies.

Both the card insert and envelope had circles added to coordinate with the card.

The next Colour INKspiration Challenge will start on December 11. But for now make sure you head to the Colour INKspiration Facebook page to see what the crew have created … AND … share your project, using these colours, with us!

Until then, happy stamping.
