Colour INKspiration Challenge #65 Blog Hop

I just don't know how Wednesday rolled around again so quickly! Does it creep up on you too? So how about a Colour INKspiration challenge to get you over that midweek hump? Check out these sultry colours we have for you.

I was at a bit of a loss as to what to create and left it to the last minute. I really wanted to make a card for a friend but wanted it to be fun and not too sappy. Not how I roll! So penguins it was ..... of course ..... what else would you use! My mind is a mysterious thing people. It comes up with strange things. Even so, I love this fun card. Says what I need it to without having to agonise over the words!

Isn't she just so cool! The images and sentiments are from the Playful Penguins stamp set. How great to be able to use it for more than just Christmas! As I said previously, I was a bit stumped as to how to use these colours as they were a bit dark for what I had in mind. Then it occurred to me that dark colours are just perfect for watercolouring. They really allow you to get a depth of colour. I have used Merry Merlot to colour her fabulous feathery frock and added Blackberry Bliss toenail (do penguins have such a thing????) polish and lipstick. My Blackberry Bliss Stampin' Blends were just perfect to colour in her Pearl necklace!

And to show off how special my friend is, I really wanted to make this cool chick sparkle. Some Snowflake Sequins dotted around did that job!

On the inside I was able to use another great sentiment from the stamp set. Isn't that lovely!
