Colour INKspiration 172 #CI172

 

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.

Colour INKspiration 172

To be honest with you all, these are not colours I would normally choose but it was a challenge for me to use them.

I did a card class using the gorgeous Layers of Beauty stencils as the set was still on my desk from the last Colour INKspiration challenge that I participated in, so I thought I would replicate the card in these colours and I am pleasantly surprised with the outcome.

I was going to stamp the outline but forgot, oh well still looks good and it works well with only two inkpads used. Tone on tone was done with the masks as each layer was darker than the one before to get the depth of the flowers and leaves.

Here is the card I did for class.

If you are interested in joining in on this great challenge.
