Gnome Triple Balcony Card for Colour INKspiration #125

Hi there and welcome to my blog; today I’m sharing a Triple Balcony Card for Colour INKspiration Challenge #125.

You can find Colour INKspiration Challenges on Facebook and there are two challenges every month (on the second and fourth Wednesdays).

The challenge for CI#125 is to make a paper craft project using all the colours from the chosen colour combination, Sweet Sorbet, Pacific Point, Starry Sky and Basic Gray; you may also add Sahara Sand, Crumb Cake, Basic White, Very Vanilla, Basic Black 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 substitute (ie: Smoky Slate instead of Basic Gray).

It’s my first time using the very cute, Kindest Gnomes Bundle and Storybook Gnomes DSP from the July-December ‘Holiday’ Mini Catalogue. I already had a couple of spare, Triple Balcony Card bases cut out from my last card making session, so decided to go with that fold to showcase this cute bundle.

The colour palette was a little tricky to work with but we don’t call it a Colour Challenge for nothing! I got there in the end and was pretty happy with the result, even though Pacific Point is one of my least favourite colours!

Like what you see? All the products for this card can be purchased from my on-line Stampin’ Up! ® store. Just click on any of the links below to take you there (Australian residents only).
