Colour INKspiration #71 Gorgeous Colouring

Hello and Welcome to our Colour INKspiration Challenge!!  

Our colours are inspired by some pretty amazing images, which are then converted to Stampin' Up! colours.

Our Colours this time are: Highland Heather, Pool Party, Gray Granite and Pear Pizzazz. 

These colours have been my inspiration for some gorgeous colouring using Stampin' Blends.

I've used the Highland Heather Dark and Light Stampin' Blends, and the Light Pool Party Stampin' Blend.  The leaves are coloured using the Pear Pizzazz Stampin' Write Marker.  The Gray Granite was used for the greetings from the lovely Woven Heirlooms stamp set.  

This card is a bit of an extended Z fold with the front panel being the same size as the card base.  

After I'd finished colouring, I added some Clear Wink of Stella to makes the flowers sparkle - along with a little pearl in the centre.  The flowers were outlines very softly with the Pool Party Stampin' Blend to make them POP from the page. 

This gorgeous floral image comes from the Forever Blossoms stamp set.  

You might be able to see the very soft stenciled brick work around the edges of the flowers too - I've used Pool Party ink, a sponge, the Pattern Party Decorative Masks and a very light touch.  

I hope you're inspired to have a go using these colours for our challenge too!!  Get creating and then add your photo to the lineup on our facebook challenge page gallery.
