Colour INKspiration 141

 

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 2700 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.

Ohhh what elegant colours.....

The retiring colour I chose to showcase was Polished Pink.

I hadn't cracked this set out yet so I thought I had better use it before the end of the current catalogue and who says drums are for the boys?.

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

Photo Inspiration

A couple of months ago I saw a picture of a gorgeous dress that the pattern and colours stuck out to me. I really was inspired to re-create this into a card.

Here is the picture of the dress

And the screenshot I took when I first saw it...

I have been following this lady for quite a while and she posts the most beautiful dresses on her instagram. She also puts little snippets of her life on the page so her followers can see a little into what she does with her family. One particular week wasn't going that great for her so I decided because she was the reason I made the card I would gift it to her to give her a little pick me up!

Such a pretty card and pretty colours!
