Colour INKspiration Challenge #128 feat. Splendid Thoughts Bundle

 

Hello and welcome my crafty friends!  Thanks for popping in and checking out my latest Blog Post.

 

Today I am sharing my project for Colour INKspiration Challenge #128 which features the colours So Saffron, Petal Pink, Blushing Bride and Tahitian Tide.  The inspiration photo for this Challenge was chosen by our illustrious Crew Member, Lou Kitzelman.

My card features the Splended Thoughts Bundle because leaves don't always have to be green! I've also brought in the Stylish Shapes Dies for the greeting.  For a splash of pizzazz, I've added an Open Leaf Trinket, a little Linen Thread and some In Color Matte Deocrative Dots in Tahitian Tide.  The lovely texture in the background was created using the Hive 3D Embossing Folder and little bit of ink-splatter.  I really enjoyed colouring the stamped images and realised I should be doing more of this in my cardmaking.

 

 Supplies Needed:

• Bundle:  Splended Thoughts
• Dies:  Stylish Shapes
• Cardstock:  Basic White, Shimmery White, Petal Pink, So Saffron,Tahitian Tide
• Ink:  Tahitian Tide, Blushing Bride, So Saffron
• Embellishments:  Linen Thread, Open Leaf Trinkets, 2022-24 In Colour Matte Decorative Dots
• Colouring Accessories:  Blender Pen, Water Painters
  
• Tools:  Paper Trimmer, Stampin'Cut & Emboss Machine
• Adhesives:  Tombow Liquid Glue, Mini Glue Dots, Dimensionals

 

Let's Make It:

 

For this card you will need the following cardstock:

• A Tahitian Tide card base
• 2 pieces of Basic White 1/8" smaller on two sides than the card front (to give a small 1/16"border on all four sides)
• Shimmery White to stamp the images on
• Petal Pink and So Saffron for the die-cuts
• A scrap of Basic White for the sentiment

• Stamp two Blushing Bride images and one So Saffron image onto Shimmery White cs and colour very gently using a Blender Pen and the co-ordinating ink. WARNING:  This cardstock will pill if you overwork the colouring. Die cut using the co-ordinating dies from Splendid Stems Dies.

• Die-cut the other elements in So Saffron and Petal Pink cs.

• Run one piece of the Basic White cs through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine using the Hive 3D EF then splatter with Tahitian Tide ink using a Water Painter. Attach this to the front of the card with Tombow Liquid Glue.
  

• Arrange the elements towards the top of the card gluing down with Tombow or Mini Glue Dots.  Add a double bow made from Linen Thread and a Open Leaf Trinket.

• Stamp the greeting and die-cut using the shorter-but-wider banner in the Stylish Shapes Dies.  Attach with Dimensionals over the area where all the elements are meeting.
  

• Add some of the Tahitian Tide In Colour Matte Decorative Dotts to finish off the front.

• On the second piece of Basic White cs, stamp in the bottom right corner in  So-Saffron using first and second generation stamping.  Glue this into the centre of the card.
