Magnolia Mood for Colour INKspiration 176

 


Welcome to the 176th challenge at Colour INKspiration. Australia has just the best of birds - isn't this one a real beauty?! Crew member, Lou Kitzelman, said it is an Australian Pink Robin. She's given this to us as the inspiration for the latest challenge. 



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. Please welcome our Guest Designer for this challenge, Janette Goodall. 

If you don't have an exact challenge colour, feel free to replace it with whatever you have that's closest, for example Lemon-Lime Twist for Granny Apple Green. Black, White, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Basic Beige and metallics are free colours, as are flesh toned Stampin' Blends.

This challenge is open for three weeks and closes Monday November 11, 7pm AEST.

I loved this bright colour combination - maybe I was just carried away by the beautiful robin! I saw flowers in these colours and I turned to the Magnolia Mood bundle straight away.


I stamped the large flower and cone images in Tuxedo Black, then coloured them with Stampin' Blends in Petunia Pop, Crumb Cake and Granny Apple Green before die cutting them out. 

The front card panel I embossed using the Painted Texture folder and it is attached to a Petunia Pop card base. 


I cut a circle using the Spotlight on Nature dies which I added to one edge of the card front, trimming off the excess at the left hand side. The sentiment is white embossed on Basic Black cardstock, which is cut with one of the Unbounded Love dies.

I added in some Silver & White Sheer ribbon in a bow under the sentiment and finished off with three Petunia Pop Shimmer Gems from the In-Color Shimmer Gem pack.

The most time spent on this card was my havering around over whether to go for a Basic Black card front with a black-on-white sentiment! Otherwise, this is a pretty straightforward card. I think the design lends itself to a whole host of colours. 

We'd love to see what you do with the challenge colours. You can join the group in the following link, if you aren't already a member. Don't forget to answer the questions when you ask to join. You can see what the rest of the Design Team have done with these colours in the Crew Inspiration Album on the Colour INKspiration Challenge Facebook page.
