I was delighted to be chosen as the winner of the Colour Inkspiration challenge #CI51 and offered the chance to be a guest designer on their blog hop. The Crew are all a group of SU demonstrators in Australia and New Zealand. A long way away from me here in the UK! I wonder if this is the closest I will ever get to going to NZ or Australia?
Our inspiration colours for this challenge were as below - luckily I had all these colours!
I started off with SU Timeless Textures as the background inked in Bermuda Bay, Mint Macaron and Petal Pink. I used a stitched framelit for the square and sponged it with the Bermuda Bay, Mint Macaron and Night of Navy. The birds are from SU Wetlands. I did a wash of Ink of Stella over the inks to make them sparkle - sadly they don't show up in the image. The square was layered onto a strip of the gorgeous Shimmer Ribbon in Powder Pink. The chair was cut out of the Colourful Seasons framelits - sponged with ink and also covered in Wink of Stella.
The sentiment is from Colourful Seasons and I added some Happiness Blooms enamel dots. It's a pet hate of mine that I don't like full stops (periods) after sentiments and sadly SU seem to do this a lot so I always have to cover them up with something!

Just love this!
Wow. What a great way to use these colours. The beach scene works so oerfectly. Love the chair overlapping the image too. Gorgeous.
It's great to see you guesting with us, Fiona! I like the way you've used Timeless Textures (another favourite of mine) to create the illusion of sky, sand and sea behind your main panel.
