Along These Lines Colour INKspiration #189

Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn!

Tonight I'm joining in with the Colour INKspiration crew and our awesome colour combination!!

These colours were a challenge for me!  I'm not a fan of Melon Mambo at all, so, my solution is to use lots of white space and minimal pinks!

I've used the Along These Lines stamp set, which is a very interesting stamp with fun images of a heart, dog, tiger, rose, fish, bicycle and bird.

I stamped the image using Melon Mambo ink and then coloured using Wink of Stella which blended the colour very softly.  I also painted Cloud Cover for the rest of the cake with the Wink of Stella -  I do love the sparkle.  I've used the Darling Duckling Flat Pearls for the candle flames.  And finally the Secret Sea for the greeting from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set.  

Inside is more stamping from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set  - I love those dots!!  

The embossed card front is a sneak peek!!  This is the Peaceful Greenery folder coming in our Mini Catalogue starting in September!!  And it looks lovely with this cake I think!!  

I hope you are inspired!!
