Hello and thanks for popping by to see today’s project.
This card was made for the Colour INKspiration challenge. The image is gorgeous and the colours a fascinating combination.
I decided that I would try my hand at some alcohol colouring – I used the Stampin’ Blends to colour patches onto White Vellum and then spritzed isopropyl alcohol to move and blend the colours. I made a couple of samples so that I could choose which pieces yo use.
As I have not added the Picture This Dies to my collection yet, I opted to make my own version using the Layering Circles Dies. These gave me some windows for my coloured vellum to peek through. Then I cut the curved border piece, following the curved edge where the ink pooled.
Then I stamped the scales and cupcakes from the Measure of Love Stamp Set onto Shimmery White cardstock using Jet Black StazOn ink. This is definitely a colouring technique card. I used the five colours, from the #CI101 challenge, and a Water Painter to colour the scales and cakes. Taking my trusty paper snips I fussy cut images and used Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop them up on the card front.
The Sweet Friend greeting was stamped three times and trimmed before being added to the front also. The last element added to the front of the card were the 2021-2023 In Colour Jewels. The card insert and envelope were stamped with the cup cakes.
I’m quite happy with the way this card turned out, especially the coloured vellum pieces. Who would be the ‘sweet friend’ you would give this card to?
I wonder what the #CI102 colour combination will be?
Happy stamping.
