Colour INKspiration – CI157

What a bright and cheerful colour palette we have this challenge at Colour INKspiration #CI157. This being our last challenge for the year too! Let’s take a look…

We have Bubble Bath, Flirty Flamingo, Lemon Lime Twist, Coastal Cabana and Orchid Oasis. Plus of course we can use Black, White, Crumb Cake and metallics.

Whilst the inspo image is Christmas themed, these colours reminded me of summertime ahead. A fun part of summer days is ice-cream…. I mean, come on who doesn’t love an ice cream?! So I pulled out a very brand new bundle coming next January. It’s the Ice Cream Swirl bundle and the feature is the very large size ice cream scoop – OMG I so want one to eat just looking at it.

To make this card I cut a card base from Orchid Oasis cardtock and embossed the front with the Cane Weave embossing folder. Next I layered a strip of Flirty Flamingo cardstock – I cut to the width of the cardbase so for me that 105mm, the height really can vary to your liking – mine is 30mm.

I die cut and embossed the cone at the same time from Crumb Cake cardstock. The die set features these two dies that work together, which is such a time saver. I cut the paper holder from Coastal Cabana cardstock, and adhere it over the top. I stamped the sentiment in Orchid Oasis ink and fussy cut it out. I set these aside while making my ice cream.

I stamped the swirl in Bubble Bath ink, then coloured my flavours using Stampin’ Blends in Bubble Bath, Flirty Flamingo and Lemon Lime Twist. After colouring, I die cut it out, adhered it to the cone and used dimensionals to adhere in place on my cardfront. I finished off the card with a few Iridescent Rhinestones.

Don’t you just want to eat one now?! I can’t wait to place some more with this bundle in the coming months.
