Colour INKspiration #181

 

Hello and welcome to Colour INKspiration #181.

We have a gorgeous colour palette for you this challenge. It was chosen by crew member Lou Kitzelman. I wish I could be here at this very moment. It is so hot here in my home town in NSW today.   We have the amazing Monique Fielder joining us as guest designer for this challenge.

I have had the Heart Shaped Bundle, available as part of Sale a-bration, out on my desk to use this week and decided to challenge myself to create for CI#181 using this bundle. I am so happy with how it turned out. The layout could be used with other colours too.

The card base, mat layer and embossed layer are all Summer Splash card stock. The fun Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder was perfect for the background. I used a Blending Brush and Summer Splash ink to darker the edges of this layer. All three layers glued together. I cut the Basic White layer using the second largest stitched square  from the Stylish Shaped Dies.

I die cut the floral heart from Azure Afternoon card stock, the flower from Pool Party card stock and the leaves from Coastal Cabana card stock. The heart glued to the Basic White stitched square. I tied a length of separated linen Thread in a bow and adhered it to the right hand side of the heart using glue. The flower and leaves adhered using Dimensionals on top of the bow. This layer adhered to the card front using Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment in Summer Splash ink on Summer Splash card stock and trimmed it with scissors. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Dimensionals. I have kept the card fairly simple as the dies are just so pretty and I wanted to showcase them in this project.

Thank you for visiting my blog today. You are appreciated!
