Welcome to Colour INKspiration Challenge #ci204

This colour palette was chosen by crew member Lou Kitzelman.  

Pleased to welcome our guest designer Mariel Altamirano who was
#ci202 challenge winner.  Congratulations  Mariel <3

Please join us on this challenge, such a GORGEOUS colour palette

Join us by creating a new project for the #ci204 challenge which starts on 25th Feb. 

You must use Petal Pink, Flirty Flamingo, Soft Sea Foam and Lost Lagoon, 
BUT you can also add Basic White, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Basic Beige, Basic Black and metallics to your project. We also allow ‘Ivory’, ‘Bronze’ and ‘Natural Tones’ in the Stampin’ Blends. If you don’t have the colours in our palette, feel free to use the closest Stampin’ Up! (or any other brand)

Each of the Colour INKspiration Team Members upload their INKspiration into this album.
Also we also have an InstaHop happening over on Instagram follow along here.

Hopefully this inspires you to try your own variation.

Now my creation was totally inspired by Yvonne Neefjes's Mini Album

Even though Yvonne YouTube was in Dutch I could work out her measurements
by following along with the video.

So I designed my Mini Album with the Joyful Squares Bundle and
Product of the Month (POTM) Painted Illusions Designer Series Paper.

The Cover of the Album is a piece of the Painted Illusions DSP, then Diecut layers from Stylish Shapes dies were added behind the Heat Embossed layer Stamped with Versamark and White Embossing Powder on Flirty Flamingo Cardstock
to have the raised look of the pattern.

AND Love These Days is also heat embossed on white with Clear Embossing Powder. 
Next I blended with Petal Pink. Next I added Diecut corners from the die set.
Soft Sea Foam leaves and Gold Leaves were also added.
Hand stamped Heart design on the edge of the layer with Pearlized Faceted Circles.



Now for the inside...
This took a little playing to get all the different elements from the Joyful Squares Bundle
to fit nicely on the mini album base which is basically a square with the fold on top of itself.

I created Mini Clipboard and Pocket Envelopes with the Dies and Stamps from this bundle

 

Using the Colours from the #ci204 I have created frames and layers to showcase my photos.
I hope you liked my Mini Album, so looking forward to seeing your creations.

So we would LOVE to have you create a project for this challenge #ci204. 
All the details are over on the FB group,
so pop over there and check out the inspiration from The Colour INKspiration Crew

All Supplies used in this project can be purchased in my Stampin' Up! ® online store

I want to say a HUGE THANKS to you who visit my blog and comment it really means a lot to me.  I really do appreciate you leaving me some Lovin' in the form of a comment.

Being CREATIVE is not a hobby it is a way of life

This colour challenge certainly created a few challenges for me. BUT I got there in the end after using our Stampin' Up! Online Store to search the colours that are in this palette to guide me with what products I could use. I initially started out with a completely different set of products to what I used in my design that you seen shown here in my YouTube video

This video shows the process of making these cards, I used lots of different products. All products are Stampin' Up! and are currently all available in my Online Store.

Balmy Blue, Azure Afternoon Cardstock for the layers and the torn elements between the layers.

Country Woods DSP which I have torn and created the main feature of this card.

2 x Celebration Expressions M&M cards - Thanks which I have cut into 3 pieces to use between the torn layers AND the Star one I used with Extraordinary Floral Stamp and Dies to create the flowers.
