Welcome to Colour Inkspiration!

What is Colour INKspiraton? – a Facebook based bi-monthly colour challenge.

Anyone with Facebook can join in.  You don’t need a blog and you don’t need to be a demonstrator.

I have joined in these challenges and love them as Colour challenges for me are actually a real challenge.

 Click here to join the Facebook page which now has over 3000 members and see what it’s all about.

Here’s some of the basic details about the challenge –

The Colour INKspiration Crew! consists of a team of talented Aussie and NZ Stampin’ Up! ® Demonstrators that create projects based on Pinterest inspired colour swatches.

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 post on their blogs.

Then you have a 12 day period to upload your own creations using the colours provided.

(this particular challenge finishes in January so there is 4 weeks to get your entry in!)

If you have a blog, feel free to link back to it, but all entries will be via Facebook.  The design team will select 5 projects to be ‘design team picks’ and then the Facebook group will select an overall winner from this shortlist.

Very bright and cheerful colours!

I am still feeling awful and it has now been nearly 4 months! Crazy!

I thought long about these colours as using multiple for me is a challenge but that is what we are here for! To be challenged.....

I pulled out my Surfing Santa and thought that this stampset would be a great one for these colours! 

And it is don't you think?

Another set of really rich colours!

I am still feeling a little under the weather but I have pushed through. The doctor said I could be coughing for 3 months!! I am at week 11 already! Crazy....

I went back to the annual catalogue and found I haven't used this stampset nearly as much as I had hoped to! I also added some retired product in because who can resist gold leafing?

I missed last fortnights challenge as when I came home from holidays I wasn't well. I still am not right but I will be back at my actual paid job tomorrow. 

Here is a pic of our family on holiday at James Bond Island.

Now onto the project I have made for this fortnights challenge using the new Happy Hibiscus that will be available as an Online Exclusive from November.

It is a bundle with a hybrid embossing folder which cuts out the Hibiscus Flowers as well as embosses them. To be honest I have never used one of our hybrid folders! I really love this one...

This just screams Christmas to me! and what better way to use it on a brand new Christmas set that literally arrived in my hands yesterday.

I was that keen to blog it the glue hasn't quite dried on the background.

I love using the dies to make texture on the back of the card and the only stamping was the sentiment.
