Welcome back for the next instalment of Colour INKspiration - a fortnightly event where we create a project using a specified colour palette and share these in a Facebook group. Members of the design team share their creations and we invite you to also create a project using these colours and share it with us. This one is #195 and uses only 3 colours- Crushed Curry, Smoky Slate and Black. I'm not a huge fan of Crushed Curry but I enjoyed painting the butterfly with the yellow ink and my Wink of Stella. I did then run it through the 3D Hybrid Embossing Folder and I quite like the sparkle and the detail. I created a card with an Arch Flap for something a little bit different. You can see what I mean as you check out the pictures. It is quite bulky so I used a small velcro dot as a closure which certainly helps.
What a lovely, fresh and clean inspiration picture, I'd love to be able to doodle effectively like that instead of it looking amateur. No matter, I have stamps and ink to do the job for me.
Our guest designer this week is Petra Noeth .
We loved her work in a past challenge
and we are excited to see what she creates for us with this great combination.
A little bit of sparkle and dimension - always good.
When you lift the first flap there is a little surprise second flap hidden underneath.
The sentiment is so easy - punched out of the pre-printed pack of sentiments and raised up on some tiny dimensionals pieces. The colour is from a little bit of sponging.
Inside has a tiny bit of stamping - I'm devastated that the Elements of Text stampset is on the Last Chance list - make sure you've got yours.
There is a tiny bit of text stamped on the top Smoky Slate layer of the Arches flap door. I was fortunate to find this retired DSP which is the perfect colour for the base layer - who said hoarding was problematic? It's essential!
I took inspiration from Elaine's groovy card for my creation today - but you know how tricky it is when you've seen something online, failed to save it, and then spend ages looking for it again? Well that happened to me for this card. Thankfully, I did find it and was able to use it for this week's project. It was fun to try something different.
