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 2000 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.

Hello from Rose's project

I really love this colour combo together and I had the perfect stampset to use with it!
Perfect for man cards.

The brick folder and birch stampset are great on the background of this card and they don't detract from the main image. 

The man and the little girl themselves are coloured in Stampin' Blends and the clothing that they are wearing is paper pieced in the colours of the challenge. I love how it turned out.

It reminds me of myself as a little girl (but my dad used to have curly hair now he is pretty bald lol)

Come on over and join us in this challenge, they are fun and awesome to do!

• Stamps: Birch and a Good Man
• Ink: Memento Black, Pacific Point and Balmy Blue
• Card: Whisper White, Balmy Blue, Pear Pizzaz, Pacific Point and Merry Merlot
• Tools: Stitched Nested Dies & Brick & Mortar Embossing Folder with a Die Cutting Machine as well as Ivory, Light Daffodil Delight and Bronze Stampin' Blends
• Embellishments: Dimensionals 

Now back to the beginning of the hop to the Lovely Lou to see what she made.

Hello from Lou's page

This was my image that I found on pinterest! I love such bright vibrant colours...

Challenge accepted to use all these pretty colours...

This type of card is called a Dutch Fold Card and it is really easy to make. I adapted the instructions online that I saw to make this card out of A4 size cardstock.

I am really loving the Bloom and Grow Bundle and just by adding a couple of extra coloured leaves and flowers the image looks fuller on the black background of this card.

My class girls made this today too!

• Stamps: Bloom & Grow
• Ink: Memento Black, Gorgeous Grape and Mint Macaron
• Card: Whisper White, Basic Black, Lovely Lipstick, Pineapple Punch and Coastal Cabana
• Tools: Layering Oval Dies and Budding Blooms Dies with a Die Cutting Machine as well as Mint Macaron, Lovely Lipstick, Poppy Parade and Pineapple Punch Stampin' Blends
• Embellishments: Dimensionals

Welcome from Cathy's page

I really like the richness of these colours.

I was using the stars in a class a couple of weeks ago so I decided to keep using them as they are so pretty.

The strips of paper in the background are 1.2cm wide (great for using up scraps) and the black background has a splash of Champagne Shimmery Paint sprayed on it to add some sparkle.

Lastly the flowers were stamped on the shimmery white cardstock in Merry Merlot and I used an aqua painter to move the colour around.

• Stamps: Free as a Bird
• Ink: Gray Granite, Blackberry Bliss and Merry Merlot
• Card: Whisper White, Shimmery White, Basic Black, Gray Granite, Blackberry Bliss and Merry Merlot
• Tools: Aqua Painter, Stitched Stars Dies and Stitched Rectangle Dies with a Die Cutting Machine
• Embellishments: Dimensionals and Champagne Shimmer Paint 

Now lets go over to my lovely friend Elizabeth who I am sure she will wow you with her project.
