Hello and welcome to the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop where out theme is ‘Let Your Colours Shine’ – great topic. After a lot of thought I decided to take it back to basics and find an image I like to act as inspiration for a colour combo. I found a picture of a beautiful bridesmaid’s bouquet that I really liked, the colours are so soft and delicate.
Colours used in this project are:
To recreate the Colours Shine card, you will need:
Petal Pink card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded upper left corner
Misty Moonlight card – 5⅛” by 3⅜” – Rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5” by 3¼” – Rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – Rounded upper left corner
Misty Moonlight card – ⅜” strip
Scrap Petal Pink card
The large circle from the Watercolor Shapes stamp set was stamped in Balmy Blue ink onto the smaller panel of Basic White card.

The branch from the Garden Birdhouse stamp set was added at the top with Mint Macaron ink. I stamped the hanger from the tree in Balmy Blue ink and added the sweet birdhouse in Misty Moonlight ink.

I used the Misty Moonlight Marker from the 2021-2023 In Color Markers pack to colour in parts of the birdhouse. Doesn’t it look sweet.
Using Versamark ink I stamped the sentiment from the Art Gallery stamp set onto the Misty Moonlight strip, covered it with White Embossing Powder and heat set it with the Heat Tool. I flagged the end with scissors.

Using the Peach Dies and the Mini Cut & Emboss Machine I cut some tiny flowers from the scrap Petal Pink card and added them to the tree with Mini Glue Dots.
I glued the stamped panel to the Misty Moonlight layer and then to the Petal Pink card base using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The sentiment was then added using the same glue.

To complete the card, I added a Basic Rhinestone to the centre of each flower.
