Colour INKspiration 96 #CI96

 

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 2300 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.

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.

I am really sorry that haven't created much over the last two months as I have gone back to study at TAFE and it is taking up ALOT of my precious crafting time! 

I am a bit sad as last fortnights colours are some of my favourites! 

Nevermind here is a great swatch to work with for this fortnight!

How gorgeous are these colours? 

I did use a little of the Melon Mambo can you see it?

I added the Melon Mambo around the edge of the Flirty Flamingo stamped image and it is super subtle.

The gold foil leafing is such a great addition to make a card look really elegant and to finish off with a pop of the Blushing Bride Ribbon with the Gold Gem on top of it just adds a bit of texture to the card.

Tear and tape is another great way to add the Gold Foil Leafing to a card along with the heat and stick powder (used exactly like embossing powder)

I can't wait to see what you come up with!
