Hi there and welcome! Thanks for stopping by!
It's time to show you another Colour INKspiration Challenge. Challege #156 has opened and will run for almost three weeks this time and the colours are a very traditional Christmas palette. The inspiration photo was chosen by fellow Crew member, Jan Clothier and I can't wait to go and see what everyone has created.

For my card, I've done a completely literal example. It features the Just My Type stamp set which was an must have from the 2022-23 Annual Catalogue as I'm a typist in a past life. I've placed it on a textured background using the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder which I inked up first with the Craft White Stampin' Ink. It adds subtle colour to the piece of Crumb Cake cardstock while preserving the vintage vibes.
A piece of Black & White Gingham ribbon was tied around the Crumb Cake cardstock then matted onto a piece of Basic White with just the tiniest 1/16" border on all four sides. I then adhered this to a Real Red card base again with just a tiny 1/16" border on all sides.
The typewriter image was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and die-cut using the Deckled Circles Dies. Leaves and flowers were stamped using the Challenge colours then fussy cut and the flowers were coloured using Real Red Light Stampin' Blend. The middle flower was attached with a Mini Dimensional while the other images were adhered directly to the cardstock.
Pearls were added to the centres of each flower and this was attached to the card front using Dimensionals.
This would make a nice card to give to a work colleague don't you think.
