Colour INKspiration Challenge #123 feat. Artfully Layered Bundle

 

Hello my crafty friends!  Welcome and thanks for popping in!  Colour INKspiration Challenge #124 has opened up over on Facebook and photo inspiration for this Challenge was chosen by fellow Crew Member Lou Kitzelman and the Guest Designer is the fabulous Kristie Slabbers-Kooltjes.  I can't wait to see what Kristie was designed for us.

The card I have created features the Artfully Layered Bundle.  Sadly this Bundle is no longer available to purchase - it was part of the Last Chance Promotion and has now sold out.  I have to say, I have really enjoyed using the stamps and co-ordinating dies over the last six months.

 

I will admit I struggled using these bright and vibrant colours in this Challenge - not my usual go to which is why I love these colour challenges so much.

Supplies:

• Bundle:  Artfully Layered
  
• Dies:  Tailor Made Tag Dies
• Cardstock:  Night of Navy, Basic White, Daffodil Delight, Parakeet Party, Tahitian Tide, Vellum
• Inks:  Parakeet Party, Daffodil Delight, Tahitian Tide 
• Embellishments:  2022-24 In Colour Matt Decorative Dots (Parakeet Party), Metallic Woven Ribbon (Starry Sky), Linen Thread
• Tools:  Paper Trimmer, Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine, Blending Brush
• Adhesives:  Tombow Liquid Glue, Dimensionals

Let's Make It:

• For this card you will need a card base, two pieces of Basic White trimmed to fit the front and the inside, a piece of Night of Navy cs large enough for the biggest tag, a piece of Daffodil Delight cs for a leaf die-cut, a piece of Tahitian Tide cs for a leaf die-cut, a piece of Parakeet Party cs for a leaf die-cut.

• Die cut each leaf from the Daffodil Delight, Parakeet Party and Tahitian Tide cardstock.  Leave one side of the monstera-shaped leaf die-cut as well as all the middles of the Parakeet Party leaf die-cut to help with the definition of each die-cut. Stamp tone-on-tone over each leaf using the distressed print stamp - this creates texture as well as softens the colour a little.

• Die cut a tag in Night of Navy cs and make a bow at the top using both Linen Thread and Metallic Woven Ribbon 

• Gently blend Parakeet Party ink in the centre of one piece of Basic White cs using a Blending Brush.  Glue this to the card front.
  

• Glue the leaves to the tag and add the Matte Decorative Dots and attach this to the coloured piece of Basic White with Dimensionals.   

• On the second piece of Basic White cs, gently blend Parakeet Party ink in the top left and bottom right corners and add second and third generation stamping over the top using the same distressed print image used on the leaves.  Add a vellum leaf in the bottom right corner for a subtle continuation of the design from the front, trim any over-hang and glue to the inside .
  

• Completed card. Video showing the making of this card can be found over on Paper Happinessity with Monica Formosa Facebook Page or over on You Tube
