Colour INKspiration - #210

Welcome to another fabulous Colour INKspiration Challenge. 

#CI210 has us creating with the beautiful new 2026 -2028 In Colours! I am so excited as these colours are just divine. They all speak to me and I couldn't wait to use them all together.

I decided to use the Fern & Flora Bundle and coordinating Fern & Flora 3D Embossing Folder. I also wanted to soften the colours a little for this project.

I started with a Barely Blush card base. I cut mat layer of lightest side of the Barely Blush Two Toned card stock and embossed it using the Fern & Flora 3D Folder before gluing it to the card front. I cut and then tore a strip of the darker side of the Two Toned card stock to go down the left hand edge of the card. It was adhered with glue.

I cut two circles from the Spotlight on Nature Dies and adhered them together and to the card front using Dimensionals. This gives a lovely depth to the central die cuts.

I used Blending Brushes on Basic White card stock to create softer coloured card pieces to die cut in Peaceful Pine, Golden Glow, Crisp Cantaloupe and Barely Blush. The centre of the flowers were cut using Basic White. I love how these little flowers come together. I used both Golden Glow and Peaceful Pine to give some of the leaves some variegation. I then used the Peaceful Pine Stampin' Blend to spritz some ink on the leaves. All these little die cuts were glued in place to the circle die. I curled the little flowers at their edges.

I tied a length of Linen Thread in a double bow and adhered it to the base of the blooms.

I stamped the repeated pattern image in Hydrangea Hue ink on a strip of the Hydrangea Hue Two Toned card stock. I then punched it out using the Three Banner Punch. I stamped the sentiment from the Fern & Flora Stamp Set in Hydrangea Hue ink on Basic White card stock and punched it out using the Three Banner Punch. I glued these banners together before adhering them using Dimensionals. Three of the Barely Blush  2026 - 2028 In Colour  Dots were the final touch for my project.
