Colour INKspiration 65 #CI65

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 2000 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 Cathy's page

I really like the richness of these colours.

I was using the stars in a class a couple of weeks ago so I decided to keep using them as they are so pretty.

The strips of paper in the background are 1.2cm wide (great for using up scraps) and the black background has a splash of Champagne Shimmery Paint sprayed on it to add some sparkle.

Lastly the flowers were stamped on the shimmery white cardstock in Merry Merlot and I used an aqua painter to move the colour around.

• Stamps: Free as a Bird
• Ink: Gray Granite, Blackberry Bliss and Merry Merlot
• Card: Whisper White, Shimmery White, Basic Black, Gray Granite, Blackberry Bliss and Merry Merlot
• Tools: Aqua Painter, Stitched Stars Dies and Stitched Rectangle Dies with a Die Cutting Machine
• Embellishments: Dimensionals and Champagne Shimmer Paint 

Now lets go over to my lovely friend Elizabeth who I am sure she will wow you with her project.
