Welcome to the latest challenge at Colour INKspiration! This colour palette was chosen by Crew Member Monica Formosa.
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 three 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. The guest designer this challenge is Alisa Tilsner.
If you don't have an exact challenge colour, feel free to replace it with whatever you have that's closest. - for example Crushed Curry for Bumblebee. Black, White, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Sahara Sand and metallics are free colours, as are flesh toned Stampin' Blends.
I am so very pleased that I bought the Artfully Layered bundle from the 2022 January-June Mini Catalogue. I moved it into my A-List because the DSP from the New Horizons suite was unavailable and what a serendipitous decision that was! (Although, who am I kidding - I'd have always got them both - and will do, once available.)
To create the variegated leaves in both the main spray of foliage and the tiny die cut leaves, I first inked up the stamp in Bumblebee then added in some Cajun Craze with a sponge dauber. It's a very easy and effective way to create mixed colours in a solid stamp.
The fringing around the sentiment is created from the White 3/4" Frayed Ribbon. Wow - it really does what is says on the tin.... beautiful frayed ends to give a fringe look to the sentiment!

This is an unusual colour palette - I think you've blended the colours really well together and the grey label is a great way of making a feature of the sentiment. Love it!
