Colour INKspiration #204 - Petal Pink, Flirty Flamingo, Soft Sea Foam and Lost Lagoon.


 


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

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