Colour INKspiration 170 #CI170 & #GDP455

 


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.

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.

This you would think should be an easy one.... But my favourite colours change all the time!!

I picked 3 gorgeous colours that work so well together for this card.

This challenge also works in with the Global Design Project Challenge of using circles.




So very pretty. 
The colours I chose for this card were Shy Shamrock, Azure Afternoon and Petuna Pop!
Beautiful.... The technique I used was the Floating frames technique using the amazing Spotlight on Nature Dies... Stunning!

I already have someone to give this to as well and I know she will appreciate it.

Love blues! They are one of my most favourite colours!

I instantly had an idea using these colours and it married perfectly in with the timing of my daughters 14th birthday (which is tomorrow)!





I love this gorgeous Sea Turtle set and I have used it now on a few cards. 
I really love how you can flip the stamp over for a solid image (stamped off)
