Colour INKspiration 54 #CI54

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 1900 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 gorgeous Nikki's page

This is my colour swatch this fortnight. I saw it and thought ohhhh this would be lovely with one more colour added to it. We should get a variety of cards with this challenge.

So you can see my basic card has a "pop" of Cherry Cobbler on it.
I love that adding some colour to black and white just brings it all together.
I fussy cut the roses on this card.

• Ink: Memento
• Card: Whisper White & Basic Black
• Tools: Stitched Rectangles Framelits & Petals and More Thinlits Dies with the Bigshot and Light and Dark Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blends

What Will You Stamp 216? #WWYS216

What Will you Stamp Challenge number 216.

I hope that you like what I can come up with for these awesome challenges.

I hope more of you join in with these great stampset challenges as they are fun!

I made this card with my card and coffee ladies a few weeks ago.

The other sentiment that we used was the Happy Mothers Day one. 

Mothers day in Australia is coming next month.

The Teapot was stamped onto Watercolour Paper and I used an aqua painter to move the lines so it looked a little watercoloured. The flowers were also coloured with the aqua painter and ink squished into the top of the inkpad.

• Stamps: Tea Together
• Ink:  Gorgeous Grape, Granny Apple Green, Grapefruit Grove and Stayzon
• Card: Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape, Watercolour and Gingham Gala DSP stack
• Tools: TeaTime Framelits and Be Mine Stitched Framelits Dies with the Bigshot
• Embellishments: Dimensionals & Organdy Ribbon (from Saleabration)

Beautiful inspiration picture chosen by Kelly this fortnight

This gorgeous bundle has been jumping out at me for months in the Occasions Catalogue and I finally caved and bought it!

I had some sad news on Monday which prompted me to make this card.

I did originally flick a bit of versamark over the blue background and silver embossed the splatters but I couldn't get the card to look the way that I wanted so I covered it up with the Mint Macaron cut panel and went from there. My splash of Silver is in the embossing of the flowers.

• Stamps: Wonderful Romance
• Ink: Versamark & Night of Navy
• Card: Whisper White, Night of Navy, Mint Macaron, Vellum from Floral Romance Specialty DSP
• Tools: Wonderful Floral Framelits with the bigshot, Silver Embossing Powder and Petal Pink, Bermuda Bay and Mint Macaron Light and Dark Stampin' Blends
• Embellishments: Dimensionals and Rhinestones

Now off to the beginning of the hop to the lovely Leonie's page
