TIME FOR THE LATEST COLOUR INKSPIRATION CHALLENGE

With this challenge, we are using two more of the new 2024-2026 In Colours – Petunia Pop and Summer Splash.

The flowers look so pretty sitting inside this wonderful old teapot.

For my project, I chose the Layers of Beauty and Lifetime of Love Stamp Set.

I stamped the floral image four times, rotating it to create this frame.

After colouring the flowers and leaves, I fussy cut the frame inside and out. Then I added Clear Wink of Stella to add some lovely glimmer.

I placed the frame over a Basic White panel and made some light pencil marks. These were used to position the greeting, which was stamped in Summer Splash.

The panel was then adhered to a Summer Splash card base.

The frame was then added to the card front.

The card insert and envelope had the same floral image stamped using Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

I took a length of the Summer Splash Bordered Ribbon, cut it half, frayed it and tied a bow. The bow was attached to the flowers with a Mini Glue Dot.

The last step was to add some Summer Splash Gems to the front of the card.

I will post my project, for #CI167, on June 12th.

Until then, happy stamping.

TIME FOR THE LATEST COLOUR INKSPIRATION CHALLENGE

In our last Colour INKspiration Challenge, we farewelled the 2022-2024 In Colours. For this challenge, we are introducing two of the new 2024-2026 In Colours – Peach Pie and Shy Shamrock.

FOr my project I chose the Seaside Wishes Bundle and Hybrid Embossing Folder.

I started with with a Basic White card base and embossed the front of the card.

Then I took a Petal Pink panel and embossed and cut the sand dollars. I also cut some vellum ‘coral’ pieces.

After I gave each of these elements some texture by bending them with a bone folder, I attached them to the front of the card.

I added some Peach Pie and vellum star fish to the card as well.

The greeting was stamped in Shy Shamrock and trimmed down and added to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I took a length each of Peach Pie and Shy Shamrock Bordered Ribbons and cut them in half, lengthways. After fraying the ribbon a little, I tied two bows and secured them to the card with Mini Glue Dots.

The card insert and envelope were stamped with Peach Pie star fish images.

Finally, I added a few of the 2024-2026 In Colour Shimmer Gems.

I will share my #CI166 project with you on May 24th.

Until then, happy stamping.

TIME FOR THE LATEST COLOUR INKSPIRATION CHALLENGE

It is time to farewell the 2022-2024 In Colours.

Which colour was your favourite? For me, Sweet Sorbet was my favourite>

For my project, I decided to use Simply Zinnia Bundle along with the retiring colours.

I used a Basic White card base and cut a circle out. Using strips of the 2022-2024 In Colour 6″x 6″ DSP, I adhered them to a white insert and positioned it within the circle.

To finish this ‘window’, I cut a circular frame using Stylish Shapes and Delightful Doilies Dies.

I stamped three of the single zinnia images in Sweet Sorbet, Orchid Oasis and Starry Sky. Then they were cut using the coordinating dies.

I also stamped, cut and coloured some of the leaves with the Parakeet Party Stampin’ Blends.

THe flowers and leaves were then positioned at the top of the ‘window’.

The greeting was stamped and then trimmed and added to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Saying farewell to the 2022-2024 In Colour Twine, I tied a triple bow and used a Mini Glue Dots to attach it below the flowers.

Final farewell, as well, to the coordinating Gems.

The envelope and card insert were both stamped with the little stars.

I will have another Colour INKsiration project for you on May 8th.

Until then, happy stamping.
