Just Add Ink #745 | Colour Challenge

 Hello stamping friends. Happy Friday! I hope you are having a wonderful day. I'm here today with the Just Add Ink Design Team for the new Just Add Ink Challenge - Just Add Ink #745 |  Colour Challenge. This week our challenge has been chosen by Just Add Ink Design Team Member Kim. 

 This week we have a little bit of a different colour combination for you. We have Petunia Pop, Balmy Blue, Soft Sea Foam,and Smoky Slate. Petunia Pop is quite a bright colour and the others are quite soft and subtle. Let's see what we can do with these.

I'm using some new Stampin' Up! products that will be available for customer to purchase on 6th May 2025. Aren't they just 'lovely'? 😊 The oval dies are from the Impressions Abloom Dies that will be an online exclusive product in May and then the die cut flowers, leaves and the sentiment are from the Pretty Florals Bundle and the Sweet Blooms Bundle and these two bundles are from the Florals in Bloom Suite Collection. Lots of new and gorgeous products!

 I've used the Smoky Slate as the card base. I've strayed away from the Basic White card base as I was trying to incorporate as much of the challenge colours as possible. I've added a layer embossed with the Mini Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder. Fun tip with this embossing folder - cut your piece of cardstock bigger than you need, emboss with the Mini Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder and then cut your piece of cardstock to the right size.

I've then added the oval panel also cut in Smoky Slate and then I've added some Smoky Slate splatters over both of these layers.

Due to the Petunia Pop colour being quite intense and bright compared to the other colours I watered down some Petunia Pop ink and then added a watercolour wash on some Fluid 100 Watercolour Paper. This gave me a softer look to the colour and made it more inline with the other colours. I also made the leaves using Soft Sea Foam in the same way but this time trying not to water the colour down too much so that it could stay as dark as possible.

I've then added the sentiment with the 'it's a' and 'day' heat embossed on Balmy Blue and then I've layered 'lovely' die with Basic White and Balmy Blue.

I've finished the card off with some Linen Thread and some Iridescent Pearls. Simple but pretty.

 I do hope that I've inspired you with the colours for our colour challenge. Go and check out the design teams take on this week's colour challenge at the Just Add Ink Blog and then come and join us for this week's colour fun.
