AN EXTRA WEDNESDAY POST FOR THE LATEST COLOUR INKSPIRATION CHALLENGE

I have a project to share with you for the #159 Colour IKNspiration Challenge. I hope you are inspired by all the creativity the team has contributed and that you will join us for this challenge.

Today’s picture which has inspired our colour palette was chosen by Colour INKspiration Crew Member, Nicole Wilson.

As well as the chosen colour combination for #CI159, Smoky Slate, Berry Burst and Pretty Peacock, 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 – Coastal Cabana instead of Pool Partyfor example.

To get your creative ideas flowing, make sure you check out the Crew’s Project in the CI#159 Album.

For my project U decided to combine the Heartfelt Hexagons Bundle with some baby wipes colouring.

I started with some Fluid 100 Watercolour Paper and did a light watercolour wash across a few pieces. When the wash was dry, I then crumpled baby wipes and ‘stamped’ more colour onto the paper.

When the paper was dry, I punched out several pieces using the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch.

Then I arranged the punched shapes across a panel of the water colour paper. Some shapes were adhered directly on this paper and others were popped up using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the spotted border and the greeting on a scrap of Fluid 100 and punched it out. The punched shaped was trimmed down so that I could slightly offset iton the card front. Stampin’ Dimensionals were used to pop it up for some height.

The greetingwas also added to the card insert and envelope.

I tied a triple gold bow (Simply Elegant Trim) and a single bow using a length of Pretty Peacock/Gold Metallic Ribbon. They were secured in place using Mini Glue Dots.

Beginning next week, I will be featuring the Heartfelt Hexagon Bundle and share the Sale-a-bration Heartfelt Hellos Stamp Set.

Until then, happy stamping.
