It's our 200th Challenge!! Welcome to a very special challenge We are celebrating our 200th challenge at Colour INKspiration! I told you it was special. We still have many original Crew who started with our first challenge on January 11th, 2017. I've been here since the beginning playing along when I can. ( This amazing group was organised by the super creative Bronwyn Eastley. Past and present Crew members are amongst some of the nicest and most talented people I have ever met.

CI#199 "A Little Cheer" for a simple Christmas

I've been away for my son's wedding and missed the launch of this latest Colour INKspiration challenge, but I had created quite a collection of cards for a Christmas Card Buffet so I switched out the colours to create this simple card using Shaded Spruce, Cherry Cobbler and Pecan Pie. I do love to participate even if I'm late. YOu still have a chance to play along too. We love to see what you create with the colours. I love the mini punches and have used them quite a lot.

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. - although this one runs for THREE weeks, so you still have time to share your project using these colours. 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 #198 and uses Pool Party Coastal Cabana, Real Red and Very Vanilla, it's a great mixture of fresh and new, with Traditional.  Mine is not actually a Christmas card - but I did use the new !2 Days of  Crafting Advent Stampset.

But I did want to get something actually photographed and shared for this challenge. I love the stencils from this set, so I had...
