Inkspirations Colour Challenge # 12…..
Well it is that time of week where we have a new Inkspirations Challenge! Did you enjoy that week off? I hope that you did, and are now all ready to have a play this week!
It is also a brand new month too! August saw us have the very talented Debbie Pamment as our fabulous Guest Designer. Debbie did an amazing job, and we truly thank you Debbie for contribution to the DT for August ~ THANK YOU~ !
This week is extra special for 2 reasons…….. first, we have two brand new Design Team members! Be sure to check out their creations. And then the second reason is that this week the Inkspirations winner is going to win a $40 stamp set of their choice! So fun blog candy up for grabs, if you are the winning entry this week. That should be a great reason to play along hey!
Okay so for this week, I have a Colour challenge for you, and here they are:
You will be suprised how cute these colours are together….i promise! Here is the sample I made for you all:
I had fun putting this card together. I have used the Petal Pizazz stamp set for the flowers. The large flower is all glittered up using the Heat and Stick powder with Dazzling diamonds glitter. I have also dressed up the flowers with buttons and string (which I coloured with my Copic markers) I also used the Spiral punch along a strip of So saffron DSP from the Windsor knot paper pack, and some Regal rose grosgrain ribbon that I have gathered as I have adhered it to the base. The greeting is from the Really retro Stamp set from Stampin’Up. I have a special someone in mind for this card (can’t say who, or they will know!) so that is why i used that greeting
Hope you likes! For me it was pretty therapeutic to just put ink to cardstock today!
Be sure to go and check out the Design Team members creations and give them some comment love!
Want to play along? - here are some guidelines.
If you would like to play along, all you need to do is follow the directions:
1. Make your creation following the challenge ie, sketch, colour, or inspiration image.
2. Load your creation up onto your blog or a public viewing forum like Splitcoast Stampers, with a direct link back to the post on this website, so that others viewing the post will know where the challenge has come from, and it is courtesy to do so.
3. Then come back to this post so that you can add your name and link in the Mr. Linky!
You have until the Thursday the 10th September midnight to get your entries linked.
I will be announcing the winner and honourable mention on Friday the 11th September.

A very stunning card Keesh. Love how you’ve done up the ribbon. I love Petal Pizazz but can see lots of cutting. You’ve done well with this stamp set. These are fabulous colours and I had heaps of fun using them. x
Oh, this is fabulous!!! I love the gathered ribbon! Why don’t I use my Petal Pizzazz set more often?! I look at you gals create those wonderful cards with it and it makes me wonder why mine has been so neglected…
Have a great weekend!

Thanks Keesh - I will definitely use this colour combo again! Your card is gorgeous as usual and now I have added ‘Petal Pizzazz’ to my wishlist! Love the spiral-punched edge too.
Thanks Keesh for the challenge!
You have done a fantabulous job with this card - you have a really good eye for color and layout! hope you are feeling better. Thanks for the chance to win some blog candy too! The colour combo was scary to me, it took me a while to get the hang of it!

Wow Keesh, great colour challenge.
After a couple of weeks on holiday it was a “challenge” with these colours.
I am really glad things are looking up for you with your injury and you are slowly on the mend.
Take care

Gorgeous card again Keesh, and I love the glitter
Petal Pizzazz is not my favourite stamp set, but you always make it look so good!
Life is really busy right now (is it ever not??) and I didn’t think I was going to make it this time, but managed to squeeze in some time to create something for the challenge. Thanks for inspiring us!
Love Shell
Hey Keesh, gorgeous card you have made this week and haven’t there been some great cards made by others. You’ll have a tough job this week. I’m so sorry that I haven’t been able to get my act together to play along this week. Take care and I look forward to your next challenge for us. Helen xx
Great challenge Keesh - I love the colour scheme, but unfortunately I posted my card too late
Oh well - thanks for the inspiration and hope your foot improves more today than yesterday!
