Colour INKspiration 50 #CI50

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 1900 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 blog hop.

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

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.

Welcome from Julia's page

I whipped out an oldie but a goodie for this colour combo as the colours yelled "male themed" to me....
I also took the picture as a bit of inspiration to make a sea card.

This card came as a bit of a happy accident as I had a piece of whisper white cardstock with the circle already cut into it and worked my card around it.

I like the bit of depth the layered circles add to the image as I tried to make something that I hadn't made before with this set.

A little bit of flicked water over a sponge brayered background just sets the whole card off.

I stamped the seagulls with the Blueberry Bushel and then with Memento slightly offset so it gives the impression of movement.

• Stamps: High Tide and sentiment from Itty Bitty Birthdays
• Ink: Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay, Mango Melody, Sahara Sand, Blueberry Bushel and Memento Black
• Card: Whisper White, Sahara Sand, Coastal Cabana, Mango Melody, Bermuda Bay and Blueberry Bushell
• Tools: Layering Circle Framelits, various sized circle punches for the smaller circles and a sponge brayer
• Embellishments: Dimensionals and Water
