Ink it! Stamp it! Blog Hop: 2018-2020 In-Colours - Masculine Card Mountain Air Clubhouse

Welcome to the Ink It! Stamp It! Design Team Blog Hop - we hop every month so be sure to pop back and visit us again!  

Today we are saying farewell to the outgoing In-Colours 2018-2020.  They've been wonderful, my favourites being the Blueberry Bushel and Call Me Clover, but I can't wait to see what new colours await us in the new Catalogue!

A golfing scene coloured with nearly all of the outgoing 2018-2020 In-Colours

I did cheat a little.  I didn't use the Pineapple Punch or Blueberry Bushel colours but I did mix in a few other colours.

Forever Blossoms is stamped onto Whisper White paper with Grapefruit Grove ink and then coloured with Grapefruit Grove, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso and Call Me Clover Markers blended with a Blender Pen.

The mountains are stamped with Gray Granite ink and coloured with a Purple Posy Marker and Blender Pen.

I tapped the stamp with the golf ball and tee into Smoky Slate ink and then used a Call Me Clover Marker to add green ink to the grass bit before stamping.  Then I used the Call Me Clover and Lovely Lipstick Markers to colour the grass blades and the tee.  The tee looked too bright, so I didn't mask it before sponging with the green.

Having masked the golf ball, I sponged with Call Me Clover (very lightly) and then used the same ink colour to stamp the laurel wreath.  The shield is cut with the coordinating die, edged with Smoky Slate and the sentiment stamped with Call me Clover ink.

I masked the blossoms and then very lightly sponged the sky with Balmy Blue ink.

Rather than take up a lot of space here in the Blog Hop, I'll provide more details in my next post where I'll share how I rescued and used the manky-looking test piece shown below!

Here you can see the masks I used and my initial plan, which ended up as a test piece because I didn't like the composition

Thank you so much for joining us today and we hope you'll join us again next month when we'll be preparing for the new Annual Catalogue by farewelling the outgoing In-colours.

This is my card ....

Inspired by Home Decor - A Christmas Card featuring the Feels Like Frost paper

... and this was my inspiration.

The inspiration for my card.  Visit the site for rustic home decor ideas by clicking on the image

To get the look of the distressed milk painted timber, I roughly sponged some Wood Textures Designer Series Paper with Whisper White Craft Ink and, while it was still wet, then with Bermuda Bay ink.

I "warmed up" the tones in the darker wood textures paper by sponging with some Mango Melody and Cajun Craze ink.

The pretty image in the "frame" is a piece of the Feels Like Frost Specialty Designer Series Paper.

I cut some Beautiful Boughs from Sparkle Glimmer Paper and added some foliage cut from Champagne Foil Sheet using Frosted Bouquet dies.

The greeting is from the #Elfie stamp set, stamped with Blackberry Bliss ink onto Smoky Slate card and cut out with one of the Ornate Frames dies.

Thank you so much for joining us today and we hope you'll join us again next month when we'll be sharing 3D Projects.
