Ranunculus Romance for Colour INKspiration 139

 


What a lovely palette we have for you for Challenge 139! This modern and sophisticated colour combo was chosen for us by Crew Member, and Artisan Design Team member, Vicki Boucher.


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 Gail Ellis 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 Polished Pink for Melon Mambo. Black, White, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Sahara Sand and metallics are free colours, as are flesh toned Stampin' Blends.

Having started out by saying that this was a modern feeling combination, I've actually gone a little way down the path of vintage by using Ranunculus Romance as my set. I've also added ribbon, another vintage touch and one that normally is out of my zone!


I know that vintage and clean are not usually companions but I have kept the design relatively clean by keeping white space and  avoiding distressing any form of distressing. 


In another nod to vintage though, I did choose Iridescent Pearls as my final embellishment. 😀

We'd love to have you join in the challenge with us. Visit the Colour INKspiration site to check out the album of Crew Cards for inspiration. You can also add your entry there. We all enjoy seeing what you do with our colour palettes, so join in!

Ranunculus for Colour INKspiration 128

 


Welcome to the latest challenge at Colour INKspiration! This interesting colour combination was chosen for us by Crew Member Lou Kitzelman.


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. As we unusually had fewer than ten entries in #127, we do not have a Guest 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 Daffodil Delight for So Saffron. Black, White, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Sahara Sand and metallics are free colours, as are flesh toned Stampin' Blends.

At first, I wasn't sure quite what I was going to do with these colours. They didn't seem to gel with me. Once I got out a sheet of each colour and put them on the desk, I realised that they did work together well. 

Then I put the sheets of cardstock back in the filing cabinet and got out a sheet of Fluid100 Watercolour paper instead. 😀

I used the thick water painter to create an a rainbow of the four colours ranging from So Saffron, Petal Pink to Blushing Bride and finally Tahitian Tide. Once it was dry, I used the gorgeous leaf die from the Ranunculus dies to cut a bunch of leaves.


I stamped the sentiment in Sahara Sand and cut it with one of the Layering Circles dies and mounted it onto the ornate circle frame from the Peaceful Moments dies.


The background uses the Hive 3D embossing folder and a plain Basic White panel cut with the Deckled Rectangle dies. I finished with a bow made from the Basic White Crinkle Seam Binding and some Iridescent Rhinestones.


Since I had some leaves left over, I used them to decorate one of the Delicate Details Treat Boxes. They look great, even undecorated.

We'd love to have you join in the challenge with us. Visit the Colour INKspiration site to check out the album of Crew Cards for inspiration. You can also add your entry there. We all enjoy seeing what you do with our colour palettes, so join in!

Ranunculus Romance for AYSI 266

I hope everyone has had a wonderful, relaxing Christmas and New Year and is now ready to join in with us again at As You See It Challenge. The first item in our rotation of challenges is a sketch and we hope this inspires you to try out something new.


Making this Design Team card was really the first time I've had a chance to play around with the box of pre-order goodies from the January-June Mini Catalogue, which arrived a couple of days before Christmas  - great timing! 😀

The first things I tried out were the Ranunculus Romance bundle and the new Hive 3D Embossing Folder.



I'm very happy with both of these new products. The ranunculus die is fantastic! I cut the top layer from Polished Pink and sponged more colour into the centre. The base is cut from an ink-smooshed panel of Flirty Flamingo and Polished Pink. The foliage is also from the Ranunculus dies. Lovely leaves, aren't they?


The sentiment is from the Ranunculus Romance stamp set and the labels from Tasteful Labels. I've also added some of the old receipt stamp in Soft Succulent on the card base to add some interest.

We'd love to see what you do with this sketch, whether you break out new things or re-visit some old favourites.

You can check out what the rest of the team have done and link up your entry at the As You See It Challenge site.
