Welcome to a new challenge at Colour INKspiration! This pretty combination is the pick of crew member, Leonie Stuart.
If you haven't played with us before, we are a group of Stampin' Up Demonstrators from the South Pacific. Challenges are shown and entered via our Facebook Group page. If you don't belong, and would like to, click here. Don't forget to answer the two easy questions you'll be asked when you ask to join the group.
Each challenge, Top Picks and a winner are chosen by the crew and the winner offered a chance to Guest Design with us for a future challenge.
If you don't have an exact challenge colour, feel free to replace it with whatever you have that's closest. Black, White, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Sahara Sand and metallics are free colours, as are flesh toned Stampin' Blends.
This challenge is just in time for Easter - if you take the Easter inspiration from the picture - and will run for THREE weeks.
Well, so many pinks and a green ... who could look past a floral creation? One of my favourite florals is the Poppy Moments dies set, so out it came along with the Peaceful Moments sentiment set.
I started by doing some ink smooshing with a large acrylic block, some ink pads and a spritzer. I did a small piece using Petal Pink and Blushing Bride to cut the buds from. Then I did a larger piece with Blushing Bride, Flirty Flamingo and a touch of Melon Mambo for the large poppies. Finally, I did one sheet using only Granny Apple Green because I wanted a different tone of it to mix with the Granny Apple Green cardstock.
The sentiment is white embossed onto Basic Black, then shaped with the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch. Finally, I added in some Opal Rounds.
We'd love to see what you make of these colours. Are you going floral? Or Easter? Both? Neither?

Just stunning Jan - your smooshed ink technique gives a beautiful and unique finish to those poppies and your trellis background really makes this one fabulous card. Gorgeous, truly stunning!
