Colour Inkspiration Challenge #159

I am so excited to have joined the Colour Inkspiration Crew. Colour Inkspiration Challenge #159 is a gorgeous colour combination and here is my project featuring this combo:

To showcase these colours I stamped the Stippled Roses images in 2nd generation Smoky Slate ink and then coloured them with Berry Burst and Pretty Peacock Alcohol Blends Combos, with the Colour Lifter to reinforce the highlights on the petals and leaves.

The Stippled Roses die cut the coloured images and 2 different dies were used to cut leaves from Basic White card-stock. A gorgeous label was cut from Thick Basic White card-stock using the Thoughtful Moments dies.

The Thick Basic White card-base was cut to create a fun fold card where the top front panel fold down from above and the white embossed lower panel folds in from the right side with the pieces meeting diagonally from top right down to bottom left.  The Smoky Slate panel was coloured with Smoky Slate Classic Stampin ink and the new Stampin’ Brayer onto Basic White cardstock. The brayer added the ink at different angles and strengths. Some water was misted over to enable the shading to blend and soften. The Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder was used on a Basic White panel that was adhered to the bottom diagonal section.

Some Pretty Peacock splatters were added with a Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Write Marker. The central floral arrangement was adhered to the gorgeous label that had been partially adhered to the top Smoky Slate Panel. The white die cut leaves were tucked under the coloured flowers and leaves. A little bit of blending added some Smoky Slate to a couple of leaves. Some leaves needed a little pruning to remove a few tiny leaves.

A sentiment from the Stippled Roses stamps was stamped in Smoky Slate and fussy cut. A double White Bakers Twine bow was tucked under the sentiment and a few Iridescent Pearls were sprinkled around the sentiment. Finally a little Wink of Stella was splattered over the card.

The card inner was created with a Basic White panel stamped with part of the Stippled Roses in Smoky Slate. It was mounted on a slightly larger Smoky Slate panel. A Basic White C6 Envelope was also stamped with part of the Stippled Roses stamp in Smoky Slate ink. (not pictured)

Thank you so much for dropping in.
