Welcome back for another Colour INKspiration challenge. This inspiration picture which has inspired our colour palette was chosen by Crew Member, Nikki Spencer.

As well as the chosen colour combination for #CI147, Very Vanilla, Copper Clay, Pool Party and Lost Lagoon, you may also add Basic White, Crumb Cake, Basic Black, and metallics to your project. We also allow Ivory, Bronze and Natural Tones in Stampin’ Blends. If you don’t have the colours in our palette, feel free to use the closest Stampin’ Up! substitute.
To get your creative ideas flowing make sure you check out the Crew’s Projects in the CI#147 album.
My contribution features the Sea Turtle Stamp Set and Patchwork Pieces Dies.
Using the splatters folder, from the Stripes & Splatters Embossing Folders, and the Patchwork Pieces Dies, I prepared the Lost Lagoon and Pool Party piecesto create the textured waves background.
The Copper Clay layer was embossed with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder.
After I adhered the waves panel to the base layer, I took a length of Lost Lagoon Bordered Ribbon and unravelled it to create individual strands. These were then wrapped around the layers and tied in a bow. A mini glue dot was used to secure the bow.
These layers were then adhered to the Very Vanilla cardbase.
I two-step stamped three turtles and fussy cut them out. Using Stmpin’ Dimensionals, the turtles were positioned to appear that they were ‘swimming’ through the waves.
The sentiment is from the Timeless Arrangements Stamp Set and cut using the smallest stitched square die from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I used Dimensionals again to give the sentiment height.
I stamped the smallest starfish image inside the card and on the envelope.
Finally, I popped a few Lost Lagoon gems from the Tinsel Gems Three-Pack and painted the turtles with Clear Ink of Stella.
It has been so much fun this week to work on four Colour INKspiration challenges – woohoo – I am ahead! I hope you check out the other three projects over the next month or so.
Until my next post, happy stamping.
