Colour INKspiration #39

Hey Everyone

Welcome to another Wednesday! It’s time for a new challenge at Colour INKspiration Challenges and a blog hop!  This challenge is a facebook challenge where the design team members choose the top five cards entered and the facebook group get to choose the overall winner.  We would love you to play along with our challenge.  To link up your card and to also check out what everyone is creating, click here.

Take a look at our challenge for you this week.  You get to choose three colours for your submission for the challenge from Stampin’ Up! Subtles range.

The choices overwhelmed me for about 45 minutes…..I had all sorts of combinations spread out on my desk.  After a quick phone call to my mum to distract me, I came up with the idea to use – Pear Pizazz, Soft Sea Foam and Pool Party.  I then went about choosing a stamp set – Tropical Chic called out to me for my card.  The leaves I’ve stamped and fussy cut are stamped in a combination of Soft Sea Foam and Pear Pizzazz Inks.  The pretty little flower is stamped in Pool Party Ink and I’ve added some black definition to the centre of the flowers with my Journalling Pen.

I’m in lurve with the sentiment on my card.  It fits perfectly across my card and works so well with my habit of layering flowers and leaves above and below it.

I’ve used some 6″ x 6″ Subtles Pool Party Designer Series Paper for the panel behind my circle and some Pool Party Cardstock.  I then added some Pool Party Bakers Twine to finish off my card – I don’t even know if it needed it, but I couldn’t stop adding to my layers….I don’t think it looks too busy, does it?

The next hop along the way is the talented Mel Pagano.  Click here or the next button below to take you to her blog.

Thanks for stopping by.
