Creating Kindness Blog Hop ~ Color Inspiration

Hello everyone! Welcome to the Creating Kindness Design Team blog hop! You are currently visiting Carolynn Sander in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I am a Stampin' Up! Independent Demonstrator who loves to share projects and ideas. If you have been hopping along, you would have arrived here via Maria Willis. She is one of the kindest people I know. As well, she is an inspiration to many! I hope that you enjoy today's colourful card, as well as all of the other projects in this hop. Make sure to click on the next button at the end of today's post so that you don't miss out on the amazing projects to be shared today!  



Today's hop is all about colour! The colours from the Stampin' Up! rainbow that I chose to utilize today are Berry Burst, Peekaboo Peach, and Lemon Lime Twist! These colours are bright and fun! As well, they complement each other beautifully.


There is colour inspiration all around us. I chose to look to the Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper (DSP) when choosing my colour combo for today's card. I pulled just three colours from this paper pack. All of the colours in this DSP are listed on page 188 of the Stampin' Up! catalogue. The Stampin' Up! catalogue is a great resource when looking for crafty ideas and inspiration. Check out this colourful pack of paper below! Again, I didn't actually use this DSP on my project today. I simply used it for inspiration. It definitely took the brain-work out of the crafting equation.  


Now back to my card... Are you curious as to how I created that colourful, spattered background? Well it was created using a technique called "Ink Lifting". I have a full video tutorial to share with you today that showcases this technique. I hope you enjoy!
