Colour INKspiration Challenge #43 Blog Hop

It's time for another Colour INKspiration challenge. For this one we are all about the current InColours. All you have to do is choose 1, 2, 3, 4 or all InColours + any Basics or metallics. Easy right!

Lovely Lipstick was my first colour of choice. It paired really nicely with Basic Black and Whisper White. 

Last week I showed you the start of my shimmerising phase. Yes people .... it's a real thing .... in my world. Find out how to make the Shimmer Spritz here. But the short story is - clear emboss some words then shimmer spritz away! The embossed parts resist the Shimmer Spritz and you get a fab effect. So now see why I am in a shimmerising phase???

For this version I have used Champagne Mist Shimmer paint in my spritz mix. I think it looks the best but it's one of those 'I look better in real life' situations!

I also tried Frost White but I wasn't as happy with the effect.

I love that I was able to use the Merry Christmas To All bundle for these birthday cards. The 'birthday' is from the Perennial Birthday stamp set. No masking necessary as the little label framelit cuts it out perfectly.

The photos really don't do the shimmery-ness justice but you can see the sparkle from this angle and just how well the emboss resist works.

My second colour scheme was Blueberry Bushel and Pineapple Punch. Super hard to photograph and I won't tell you how many pics I took!
