Welcome to another Colour INKspiration Challenge.

As well as the chosen colour combination for #CI155, Fresh Freesia, Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape and Cherry Cobbler, you may also add Basic White, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake 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#155 album.
While I love this photograph – it’s colours and textural features, it was a tough one to decide what to create.
After spending time scanning my stamp sets, dies and embossing folders, I decided on the Timeles Arrangements Bundle and Basics 3D Emossing Folder – Flowers.
I started with a Fresh Freesia card base and then took a Basic White panel to emboss with the Flowers 3D Basics Embossing Folder.Using the Dark Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blend pen, I coloured a length of White Herringbone Ribbon. This ribbon was wrapped around the embossed panel and secured with Tear and Tape.
I used the dies you can see above to cut several floral panels and individual flowers, in each of the challenge colours.
They were layered and glued together.
The greeting was stamped in Gorgeous Grape before cutting it using one of the rectangular dies from the Timeless Arrangements Dies.
The layered flowers were then adhered behind the greeting panel. Stampin’ Dimensionals were placed behind the greeting so that it would sit up above the ribbon.
I stamped the trio of small flowers on the card insert and envelope.
Finally, I added several Fresh Freesia embellishments, from the Tinsel Gems 3 Pack, to the card front.
I’m so happy with this card! What do you think?
Until next time, happy stamping.
