Colour INKspiration #204



Hello and welcome to Colour INKspiration #204!

We have another beautiful colour combination for this challenge. The challenge inspiration image, below, was chosen by Lou Kitzelman. A stunning cake!
 






I love this colour combination and wanted to use Lost Lagoon to colour my leaves as it is a perfect leaf colour, like a Eucalyptus leaf. I also wanted to make sure wreath for this project, using the sweet small floral image from the Layers of Beauty Bundle.




My card base is Basic White and the Mat layer is Lost Lagoon Designer Series Paper from the Everyday Happiness DSP. I love this sweet dotted paper! I glued the DSP to the card base.

I cut two mat layers of Basic White card stock. one slightly smaller than the other. The small one was embossed using the Beautiful Patterns Embossing Folder. I glued the two white layers together and then glued to them to the card front on an angle with the embossed layer on the top.

I created a wreath by stamping the small floral image in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and a stamp positioned. Once the wreath was complete I coloured it in using the Petal Pink, Flirty Flamingo, Soft Sea Foam and Lost Lagoon Stampin Blends. The leaves were coloured by blending both green tones.. I then fussy cut the wreath. It took some time but was it worth it. I adhered it to the embossed layer using Dimensionals.




I stamped the sentiment in Lost Lagoon ink on Basic White card stock and die cut it using a Stylish Shape Banner Die. I tied a length of Linen Thread in a bow and adhered it to the right hand side of the wreath using glue.I adhered the sentiment piece to the top of the bow using Dimensionals. Three of the  Flirty Flamingo Frosted Dots were glued around the sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you will join us for this colour challenge!!

Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop -Colour Challenge




Hello and welcome to the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop for March 2026.

This month we have a colour challenge to share with you. The below image is inspiration and perfect for Easter projects. We were challenged to use 3-5 of the colours. I have used four.

Azure Afternoon, Darling Duckling, Pretty in Pink and Granny Apple Green. 


I wanted to create something for Easter and have used the sweet Easter Basket Bundle to create a card for a mature person. I have used the basket and the beautiful Daffodils as my central image. These dies are amazing and easy to work with.





I wanted a happy and sunny card and Darling Duckling as the mat layer. The card base is Basic White and the Mat layer a piece of the Darling Duckling In Colour Designer Series Paper glued to the card base. I then cut a Basic White layer using one of the Textured Notes Dies and used a Blending Brush and some Azure Afternoon ink to colour the area behind where the basket would be positioned.

I die cut the Basket, strips to weave and edge scallop in Basic White card stock. After weaving the strips I glued them on the back of the basket before gluing the scallop trim. I adhered this to the Textured Notes layer using Dimensionals and left room at the top of the basket to adhere the daffodils.





For the daffodils and the bow I used Stampin' Blends to colour Basic White card stock before die cutting each of the pieces in Darling Duckling, Pretty in Pink and Granny Apple Green. On the bow I used the Dark Pretty in Pink Blend to give dimension to the bow. The daffodils were glued together and a Dimensional used to adhere behind the flower and glued under the edge of the basket. The bow adhered using a Dimensional.

I stamped the sentiment using Azure Afternoon ink on Basic White card stock and punched it out using the Three Banner Punch. I coloured another piece of Basic White card stock using the Azure Afternoon ink and a blending brush. I punched this out using the same shape as the sentiment banner. I glued them together.

I tied a length of Linen Thread in a bow and adhered it to the right hand side of the basket using Sealᐩ then adhered the sentiment layers over the top using Dmensionals.
