Colour INKspiration CI04 – Botanical Blooms

categories: Birthday, Blog Hop, Cards, Challenges, Colour Inkspiration, Flowers

Hi everyone and welcome to another amazing Colour INKspiration! This week we have another amazing colour scheme for you play along with and spur your creativity. Every second and fourth Wednesday of the month the crew share with you our creations using the selected colour palette. You can join the fun too by posting your creation on our Facebook page – no blog required – just upload your photo!

You may be starting the hop here or come across from Kim’s blog. Either way – hop around, be inspired and leave some blog love by commenting on the posts to encourage us!

I love colour challenges that take you out of your comfort zone and really get you thinking! The challenge this time was no different! I had to play with ideas in my head for a while before I finally sat down to stamp!

This week we are playing with the colours Delightful Dijon; Elegant Eggplant; Whisper White and Crushed Curry. What a colour palette to work with. These colours look stunning in the images above. This is another colour selection that I would never have naturally put together, so it was fun to play with! I built the idea of the card in my head well before I inked up a stamp, so was very happy when it came together!

I created the stamped raised frame by Stamping on the white card front before cutting four of the frame outlines with the stitched shapes and Layering Square Framelits. I then adhered them together and popped them back in their original position. I used the stamp off method for the spots and flowers, so the colours weren’t overpowering the entire card. I then decorated with a range of flowers from the Botanical Blooms Framelits. That gorgeous sentiment is from the Designer Tee stamp set which you can redeem for FREE during Saleabration!

Here’s a little peek at the inside of my card! I cannot get enough of those STITCHED SHAPE framelits!!!!!

Well I hope you enjoyed my creation and are encouraged to continue around the hop to see all the other amazing projects!!!

Hop on over now to the lovely Monique to see what project she has created using this colour suite!

Happy Crafting!

Colour INKspiration #3 – CI03

categories: Birthday, Blog Hop, Cards, Challenges, Colour Inkspiration, Flowers, Techniques

Welcome to our third Colour INKspiration Challenge! And WOW do we have a colour challenge for you this week!

You may have come from Elizabeth Gross and here stunning project, or you may be starting here. So hop around to get some inspiration and ideas for this unusual colour combo, and then pop in to our Facebook page and play along with your very own creation!

We are using 5 colours for this INKspiration challenge – Marina Mist; Peekaboo Peach; Soft Suede; Whisper White and Soft Sky.

A gorgeous, but I’m not going to lie, a bit of a tricky challenge. I really enjoy colour challenges to stretch me out of my comfort colour zone, but I had to play with this one in my head for a few days before I decided what products I wanted to use for this combination. I was quite happy with the end result.

A simple watercolored background was the base for this card. I used the Stamp Off technique to soften the colours of soft suede and peekaboo peach, with a full coloured flower behind the stamped off one.

I love removing the white background on the White Perfect Accents and then using them on watercolour backgrounds. I also added the little ‘leaf’ shape pieces that I cut in vellum from the long border framelit to create a bit more interest on the background.

Don’t forget to keep hopping around to see what everyone else has created with this challenge! Next on the hop is Paula Dobson with her amazing project!

Happy Crafting

Here’s the deal – Every second and fourth Wednesday of the month at 7 pm (AEDT), a new colour swatch will be uploaded to the Facebook Colour INKspiration Group and the Colour INKspiration Crew will get the ball rolling by providing inspiration for each challenge with a blog hop.

This week we have another gorgeous colour combination. I love how images can be the inspiration for our colour choices – it inspires us to use colour combinations we may never have thought of! This weeks colours combine Wisteria Wonder, Soft Sky, Mint Macaron, Whisper White and Garden Green – and does that image remind you of anything! Just our succulent set in the Occasions Catalogue!

I don’t have the succulent set myself – but I had an upcoming class using the Jar of Love Bundle – so I thought these colours would be perfect to inspire my class project!

I used the Stamp Off method to create my flowers, giving the appearance of two different colours so they had more depth. Its such a great method to use when you have a limited supply of colours – or only have certain colours to work with – like a colour challenge! The class ladies loved it too!

Hop on over to the amazing Simone Bartrum to see what gorgeous project she has created for this challenge by clicking on the image below!

We have a fantastic colour challenge this week to get you started! Full of pretty pastels! Blushing Bride, Mint Macaron, Sweet Sugarplum, So Saffron, Tempting Turquoise and Peekaboo Peach! Pick at least three – or up to all six! Neutrals are welcome – black, white, vanilla, crumb cake, kraft and sahara sand!

What a gorgeous colour palette to begin playing with!

I initially started by making a watercolour wash on some shimmery white to mimic the sky, using tempting turquoise, so saffron and blushing bride, which I planned to pair with our new Lift Me Up Bundle. But once I had it completed I instantly went back to my childhood – enjoying a cone with lovely gelato ice-cream flavours! You know…the kind you don’t seem to be able to find anymore! Well, lucky for me Saleabration has the perfect set for me to use! Yep, out came Tasty Trucks to create my gelato heaven!

I gave the truck a light wash of mint macaron and sweet sugarplum and then cut out the shape and windows before ‘colouring’ it with our fine tip glue pen to give it a glossy finish. I also finished off the ice creams with 2 coats of the fine tip glue pen to give them a bit of lift and shine! The sentiment was from the Suite Sentiments set and was perfect for my gelato card finished off with Copper Embossing powder!

Don’t forget – you can get your very own Tasty Trucks Set with any purchase over $90 whilst Saleabration is on! Just use my handy ‘Shop Now’ button to get your supplies.

I hoped you liked my creation! Continue on to Kathryn’s blog to see her use of the colour challenge! And don’t forget to join the challenge yourself over on our Facebook group!

Keep Crafting!
