Welcome to Colour INKspriation #152. Colour INKspiration is a challenge group on Facebook that sets a colour challenge every 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month using Stampin’ Up! colours. Inspiration pictures are from Pinterest. As a design team member, we make cards and projects to inspire people in the challenge.
The colours for this challenge are: Gray Granite, Starry Sky and Night of Navy. There is a standard set of colours you can add to your challenge projects if they are not already part of the challenge colour palette. You may add Basic White, Very Vanilla, Basic Black, Crumb Cake, and metallics to your project. We also allow ‘Ivory’ and ‘Bronze’ in the Stampin’ Blends. If you don’t have all the colour palette, feel free to use the closest SU (Stampin’ Up!) substitute.
I was inspired by the inspiration picture to make this card and I was intending to make this a Father’s day card. Even though I made this a week before Father’s Day, I hesitated to put a sentimate on the card as my father’s health wasn’t very good. Sadly my father passed away a few days before Father’s Day.
Father’s day is the first Sunday of September in Australia.
Used in this project:
Paper: Basic White, Gray Granite, Starry Sky
Ink: Night of Navy
Stamps: Seaside Bay
Tools: blending brushes,
Embellishments: natural wavy trim

All items listed above (except retired or random) are available through my online store. If you live in Australia, just click on the shopping cart in the left hand column of this page or click on the links where I have listed what I have used for this project.
