Ready To Party CI#60

 Colour INKspiration is a fortnightly blog initiated by Bronwyn Eastley in Tasmania. The design team is made up of Stampin' Up! demonstrators from all parts of Australia and New Zealand.You are at the blog of Rachel Palmieri, Independent Stampin' Up!® demonstrator. I run classes at my home studio in South Morang, Victoria, share Stampin' Up!® products and tools at parties for my customers, coach my lovely team and create cards and the occasional 3D project.

What a buzz when you actually achieve a challenge! I feel privileged to be a part of the Colour INKspiration design team, because the fortnightly challenge to create and share is a real motivator. I would never have thought to use these colours with this stamp under normal circumstances, but I am so pleased with how it turned out. I've added in Basic Black, Smokey Slate & So Saffron Stampin' Blends for hair and clothing, but the majority of the palette is true.

I'm a big fan of Young At Heart, these giddy gals look like tons of fun to hang out with! Just like my pals when we get around to going on the town (it's a rare event these days, but summer may induce more socialising).

The Flirty Flamingo version was made for a friend turning fifty. That would probably be my usual colour choice, but I have to admit that the challenge-version then influenced the clothing colours on my friend's card. She didn't make a big deal of her Big 0 birthday and is actually going to celebrate by going hiking in Tasmania, but you can't let a significant birthday pass unnoticed.

I've used the sentiment from Delightful Day to decorate the inside, with a little colouring here as well. Tomorrow night at 8 p.m. I have another blog going live using these stamps again, in a much simpler version. #simplestamping in fact.

Now it is time to hop on over to the amazing Julia Quinn

You don't have to have a blog to win the honour of designing for a challenge, you just need to share your card or other project on our Facebook page here.

I'd love you to choose my online shop to purchase from, and when you use the Host Code when asked at check out, I will send you a gift, along with a handmade card. The items listed below were used in my card above, and link to that item in my online shop.
