Colour INKspiration Challenge #176

 


 Hello and welcome!

And thanks for stopping by...

I have another Colour INKspiration Challenge project to share with you today.  Challenge #175 is live and will continue for almost three weeks until Monday 10 November 2024.  Fellow Crew member, Lou Kitzelman chose our inspiration photo and the talented Janette Goodall is out Guest Designer.   I can't wait to go and see what everyone has created with these bold colours.

I actually created two cards, one with a Basic Black card base and the second with a Basic White.  I like both for different reasons and it always surprises me what a difference a change in colour can do to the look of a card. 

Both versions feature the Simply Zinnia Bundle which I have ink blended colour onto white cardstock after die-cutting all the pieces.  One set of flowers has been layered onto a piece of patterned paper from the Regal Distressed Patterns Specialty Paper and the other onto a piece of white cardstock dry embossed using the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder.  Both sentiments were stamped in Petunia Pop in, fussy cut and attached using Mini Dimensionals.

For more details, there is a full video tutorial available HERE

Torn Cardstock Background feat. Flowers Of Beauty Dies - Colour INKspiration Challenge #175


Hello and welcome everyone!  

And, thanks for stopping by ...

I have another Colour INKspiration Challenge project to share with you today.  Challenge #175 is live and will continue for almost two weeks until Monday 21 October 2024. I chose our inspiration photo this time around and I can't wait to go and see what everyone has created with these lovely colours.

 It's an easier card from me for this Challenge.  I've layered torn cardstock to create an ombre background which I've added a die-cut from Flowers of Beauty Dies and a small butterfly from the Paper Butterfly Accents.  Iridescent Striped 1/2" Trim  was tied around the bottom with a bow created over the stem section of the die.

This was glued to the card front with a few pretty sequins from the Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins added for a bit of sparkle.

To complete with card, I used the strips that were torn off to create a feature on the inside.
