Inspire.Create. STAMPING CHALLENGES Colour Challenge Challenge #219

 Hello and welcome to the Inspire.Create Stamping Challenge. I am Karen Farquhar from Australia. Today we have been set a colour challenge. For this challenge our colour combination is yellow, pink and orange.



For my submission I have chosen Stampin' Up! colours Daffodil Delight, Strawberry Slush and Timid Tiger in various shades. The stamp and die bundle is Stampin' Up!s  Splash and Relax. 
How inappropriate for the miserable weather we are having here on Australia's East Coast.
Although I shouldn't complain given the heat wave people are suffering through in Europe at the moment. My heart goes out to you.





The Splash & Relax Stamp set is a '2 step stamp set' which took me a little while to figure out.
With the beach balls and swim tubes segment shaped stamps I stamped full strength colours first and then with the round images I used their stamped-off colour over the top. The coordinating dies are so very cute, with sun glasses, handles for the swim tubes, thongs (flip flops), a sun visor, and sun lotion. All essential for a day in the sun.

I hope you’ve enjoyed my project today and feel inspired to join in the challenge!
You can find even more inspiration from our talented design team over on the Inspire.Create. Stamping Challenges website.

We’d absolutely love to see your creations—be sure to submit your projects here by 10am Sunday (UK time).
