Hello and welcome to Colour INKspiration #197!

This challenges beautiful inspiration image was chosen by crew member Vickie Boucher. I love any combination of blues or ocean coloured themes.

       I was deciding which stamp set to use when I pulled the beautiful Gallery Blooms from the shelf. I looked at the images and desperately wanted to use the elegant bloom I have used in my card below. I gravitate towards the flowers that can be coloured or filled often. There is something so pretty and simple about this bloom so I decided it should take centre stage. I did not just want to stamp it in a challenge colour on white card stock. I also wanted to keep the card simple to honour the blooms.

I stamped the bloom twice in Versamark™ ink on Basic White card stock and used Clear Embossing Powder to set the image. I then used Misty Moonlight ink and a Blending Brush to colour the background. Then used an Arched die to cut out the blended area to set the image nicely on the card front. I truly love this technique and how it turned out.

My card base is Night of Navy card stock and I cut a Matt layer and Embossed it with the Damask Designs Embossing Folder before adhering to the card front. This Embossing Folder is such a gorgeous pattern and will work with a wide variety of bundles. I glued this to the card front before adhering the Arched layer using Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped in Versamark™ ink on Night of Navy card stock. Sprinkled with white Embossing Powder and set with the Heat tool before being die cut using the smallest arch from the set. Then adhered this to the card front. I tied a length of Crumb Cake Baker's Twine in a double bow and adhered it underneath the sentiment using double sided tape. The sentiment then adhered with Dimensionals.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you play along with this challenge!
