Colour INKspiration #176

 

Hello my name is Sharon Dalton, aka CreativeMe68,
I am an independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator located in Gogango.Queensland

Welcome to Colour INKspiration Challenge #176

How CUTE is the Robin, look at these BEAUTIFUL CRISP COLOURS.

I had a lot of FUN creating my card for this fortnight's colour challenge...

I can't remember the name of the fold BUT my FAVOURITE thing about this fold 

is the see through window to create the illusion of depth of field.

I used Everyday Details Dies to cut out the window in Basic White Thick Cardstock
which die cuts the holes around the edge of the rectangle and then cut an inner rectangle with holes.

Using a window sheet to create the window, I then added some leaves to both inside
and out with the Granny Apple Green Festive Glimmer Paper and stamped leaves from Friends For Life in 1st and 2nd generation Granny Apple Green ink.

The next thing that I did was use the background stamp Sketched Plaid to create part 
of the background inside the card.  I added ink directly to the stamp in a random pattern
so that it was patchy (not that you can see that)
Then I used the die cut rectangle and stamped some of the Sketched Butterflies
and a sentiment on this shape and adhered it over the Petunia Pop Plaid.

Next I heat embossed some black butterflies from Sketched Butterflies
and coloured very carefully in the heat embossed areas.  AS the embossing and the alcohol blends 
with bleed.  Using both Light and Dark Petunia Pop Blends with a colour lifter to colour in.
I fussy cut out the butterflies and added some Wink of Stella to the wings.

Next I used Flowers of Beauty dies to cut out the 2 sizes of flowers that I scattered
among the leaves.  I filled the centres with Clear Rhinestones.
Then using my Petunia Pop Blends I splattered with the tip of the brush to my card.
