Colour INKspiration #216

  



Hello and welcome to Colour INKspiration #CI216!

Crew member Jan Clothier has chosen our gorgeous inspiration image for this challenge. I can imagine this cake tasting as good as it looks. We welcome Mariel Altamirano as our Guest Designer.





The challenge colours are so aesthetically pleasing together. I had envisioned a floral card but when I received my pre-order for our next catalogue, the Noel Tidings Bundle was particularly appealing. Does this ever happen to you? I am often drawn to creating using a bundle I initially considered unsuitable for the challenge colours. I appreciate traditional Christmas colours but also enjoy experimenting with non-traditional ones. So here is my non-traditional card!





The card base is Fresh Freesia. I then cut two Basic White Matt layers, one slightly smaller than the other. I used the Softly Woven 3-D Embossing Folder on the smaller piece. I glued these two pieces together.

I coloured Soft Sea Foam ink with a blending brush on Basic White card stock. I cut this piece with the rectangular wreath die. I then coloured another piece with Fresh Freesia and Blackberry Bliss ink. I die cut these two pieces with the sweet Berry dies.

I adhered the wreath to the card front using glue. I then adhered the berries on top of the wreath using Glue Dots ™. Then adhering the matt layers to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. 




On a piece of Blackberry Bliss card stock I stamped the greeting in. Versamark™ ink. Isprinkled white bossing powder on top before setting with the heat tool. I then cut the sentiment using the coordinating die from the bundle.

I tied a length of Linen Thread in a double bow and adhered to the top of the wreath using Glue Dots™. I then adhered the sentiment over the top of the bow and sentiment.

Thank you for visiting my blog today. I encourage you to join us at Colour INKspiration Challenges and create a card using the challenge colours.
