JAI #108 : COLOUR CHALLENGE

Nikki has come up with this week's challenge at Just Add Ink,  to use these gorgeous colours together on a papercraft project:




I've run with the idea of Pool Party being a great bird's egg colour, and come up with this:




Stamps: Nature Walk, French Foliage, Established Elegance, Teeny Tiny Sentiments
Card: Early Espresso, Pool Party, Whisper White
Ink: Pool Party stampin' pad and marker, Island Indigo stampin' pad and marker, Early Espresso stampin' pad and marker
Other: Color Spritzer tool, Edge distressing tool, Island Indigo ruffled ribbon, Square Lattice embossing folder, Word Window punch, Modern Label punch, aquapainter, stampin' dimensionals, mini glue dots, sponge dauber


Make sure you check out the rest of the Design Team's samples over at Just Add Ink.  We hope to inspire you, to play along with us this week!

    Christine I never thought of these colours as 'bird's egg' ones, however, after seeing your gorgeous card I can see them now and you have made good use of the colours. Have a lovely weekend.

    I haven't thought about birds eggs in a long while but you're so right, Pool Party is that type of colour. Love what you've come up with here - your background stamping is gorgeous.

    This is lovely, Christine and a fab colour combo. Love the colouring of the bird and how you 'grounded it'. Your trademark spritzing is a great finishing touch.
