COLOUR INKSPIRATION #108

Hello to each and every one of you who take the time to pop by and see my latest project. I truly appreciate that you do!

Today I have a card and coordinating gift box that I made for the #108 Colour INKspiration challenge. The colour palette for this challenge is so bright and bold.

I decided to feature the FREE Sale-a-brationTextures & Frames Stamp Set and the Sweet Treats Stamp Set. Let me know if you think the project is bold enough!

I started by stamping the ‘block’ image from the Textures & Frames Stamp Set in the five colours from the challenge. Then I stamped the cupcake image, from the Sweets & Treats Stamp Set, using the Tuxedo Black Memento ink pad. I used my Stamparatus to stamp these colours and images to ensure everything is perfectly spaced. Then I trimmed down the Basic White card to the size you can see.

I cut a 1″ strip in each of the five challenge colours and then used the Banner Pick a Punch to create a banner end for each of them. Using my Gridpaper I positioned each of these banners and adhered them at an angle under the cupcake panel.

For the background panel, I used the ‘splotches’ image and all five colours to fill the Basic White space. When the stamping was finished I added texture to this panel by using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder.

Once the embossed layer was adhered to the card base, the cupcake layer was popped up using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I created a ribbon feature using Mini Glue Dots and Polished Pink Open Weave Ribbon.

The birthday greeting, also from the Sweets & Treats Stamp Set, was cut using one of the Seasonal Labels Dies.

I was inspired by a recent Paper Pixie (Julie Dimatteo) project – a tapered triangle gift box. This is the gift box I made to coordinate with my card – thank you Julie! If you haven’t discovered her amazing projects, especially her 3D ones, make sure that head over to her website.

These are many of the products I used to create this card and gift box. There will be a complete supply list at the end of this post.

What do you think? Do you love this vibrant colour scheme?

Until next time, happy stamping.
