mmm...Stampin' Time

Welcome to our 161st challenge at Colour INKspiration!

We are posting a day earlier because many of the Colour INKspiration Crew will be heading to Melbourne for a three day Stampin’ Up! extravaganza.

Today’s picture which has inspired our colour palette was chosen by Colour INKspiration Crew Member, Leonie Stuart

As well as the chosen colour combination for #CI161, Garden Green, Melon Mambo and Moody Mauve, you may also add Basic White, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, 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! substitute.

Challenge guidelines:

· Create a NEW project made specifically for this challenge.

· Use all of the challenge colours (or close substitutions) unless stated.

· Upload only ONE picture per entry straight to the discussion wall and NOT in an album.

We hope you can participate this round and look forward to seeing a variety of projects using the challenge colours. Happy stamping!

As I am featuring the A Little Latte Suite Collection this week, I decided to create a card using the Latte Love Bundle.

After preparing my Basic White cardbase, I cut 3 1/2″ x 1 1/2″ strips of Garden Green, Melon Mambo and Moodt Mauve cardstock. These three pieces were thenpassed through my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Basics 3D Crosshatch Embossing Folder.

These three panels were then adhered to the card front in the manner you can see.

The next step was to stamp the coffee art hearts in each of the three challenge colours. They were cut using the circle from the Latte Love Dies.

Then I stamped the ‘birdseye view’ image of the top of a coffee mug – again, in each of the three challenge colours. They were thencut using the coordinating die.

I systematically shifted the colours to the right – Melon Mambo embossed piece, Melon Mambo mug outline on the Garden Green embossed panel and Melon Mambo coffee art heat on the Moody Mauve embossed panel and Garden Green mug outline.

I repeated this system to ensure all three panels incoorporated all three challenge colours.

The mugs were attached to the embossed panels using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I used the birthday greeting, from the Sweetly Scripted stamp set, and trimmed the stamped sentiment to fit across the three embossed panels.

The coffee art heart image was stamped inside the card and on the back of the envelope.

Finally, I added some Neutrals Adhesive-backed Sequins to the card front.

I hope that you enjoy all the projects I make this week, using the A Little Latte Suite Collection.

Happy stamping.
