Welcome to Colour INKspiration Challenge number 39 and this week we are using another of the new Colour Collections as our colour palette to work with.

As always the crew is kicking off with a Blog Hop this evening.

If you have been hoppin’ along – you will have come from the awesome Mel – what a gorgeous card!

I’m focussing on the Colour Your Seasons Suite at the moment as I want to make sure EVERYONE is aware of these awesome products while they are available – and that’s only till the end of August but only while supplies last.

I’ve teamed the Colour Your Season Bundle with Vellum to make a soft and dreamy project. The three Subtles in my cad are: Mint Macaron, Soft Sea Form and Calypso Coral. There are a couple of basics thrown in too. The sentiment on the front of the card is heat set Black Embossing Powder and on the inside, the image is tamped in Basic Grey before colouring.

This is the bundle itself – versatile images and sentiments in the stamp set – and AH-MA-ZING dies in the framelit set! 

I’ve included more information about the Colour Your Season Bundle below – including links to see more information, or to purchase & earn the fabulous Tutorial Bundle (from 12 Global Designers) for FREE!

But back to my project. It’s a bit hard to see in the photographs – but the front panel had Vellum in to give an opaque window to see through into the inside of the card.

In this picture you can also see how I’ve constructed the front of the card. The middle-sized Stitched Season panel has been cut out of both the front and the front mat. I’ve attached the Vellum to the mat and then used Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach this to the front of the card. 

The same size panel has been diecut from Whisper White as it is perfect for colouring with the Stampin’ Blends. The Light and Dark Combos of both Mint Macaron and Calypso Coral were used.

The flowers have a Basic Adhesive Backed Sequin in the centre. I wouldn’t normally put embellishments on the inside of a card like this – but the construction of the front means there is a small space so they won’t get squashed!

You can see there are two bows on the outside of the card. I cut the bow twice from Mint Macaron, one with Multipurpose Adhesive sheet attached before cutting so I could stick it to some Soft Sea Foam. The second one is simply attached to the back one at the centre with Multipurpose Liquid Glue to give a layered look.

The mat is embossed with the Subtle Dynamic Texture Embossing Folder – thought it was very appropriate for this week’s colour challenge!

There are also some more Basic Adhesive Backed Sequins on the front of the card.

Blended Season Stamp Set

As the name suggests – there’s a stamp for any season in this set! But not only do the images work for different seasons – they also cover a huge range of card giving reasons. From Christmas to wedding to Get Well to Thanks and most things in between!

The different images and sentiments fit so well onto the different sized dies in the Stitched Seasons Framelits.  

And of course, those images are perfect for colouring. It could be with the Watercolour Pencils or Stampin’ Blends or Aqua Painters. So much choice!
