Welcome to the 207th challenge at Colour INKspiration! Thanks for all the gorgeous entries for last challenge. We have another pretty combination for you this time around, chosen by Crew Member Cheryll Miller. Soft and pretty.
This challenge runs for nearly two weeks and will finish on Monday 22 April, 5pm AEST.
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. We welcome Rochelle Blok as our Guest Designer for this challenge.
If you don't have an exact challenge colour, feel free to replace it with whatever you have that's closest, for example Petal Pink for Bubble Bath. Black, White, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Basic Beige and metallics are free colours, as are flesh-toned Stampin' Blends.
Winter is starting to make himself felt today, so I fancied a little bit of tropical in protest! I wanted to be transported to somewhere warm and beachy. I started by randomly blending some Daffodil Delight, Bubble Bath and Pool Party over a piece of Basic White. I then sponged some Coastal Cabana around the outside edge to kind of fence the colours in.
So the next question was - what next?! Well, a collaboration between two sets is what happened next. Shell Collecting meets Rolling Waves. I stamped some shells from Shell Collecting in Pool Party ink over the card front.
What's the beach without some water? So I splashed a little Wink of Stella over the surface like water splashing on skin.
The sentiment is from Rolling Waves and cut using a die from Textured Notes. Then I die cut some palm fronds and sea shells and arranged them under and over the popped up sentiment.
So there's my little piece of tropicana done and dusted. What will you do with these colours?
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.
