🎄Colour INKspiration Challenge #198 – Long Time No See Llamas! 🦙

It’s time for another round of Colour INKspiration Challenges and this week’s combo is pure festive fun — Pool Party, Coastal Cabana, Real Red, and Very Vanilla! 💙❤️

When I saw these colours, I immediately thought of cozy scarves, twinkle lights, and — you guessed it — llamas! I pulled out the Long Time No See set and just had to let these cuties steal the spotlight.

Basic Card Instructions

1️⃣ Card Base & Mat– Start with Very Vanilla cardstock for that soft, warm background feel.

2️⃣ Llama Trio –

Stamp those adorable llamas from the Long Time No See set on Very Vanilla.
Colour their scarves using Pool Party, Ivory/bronze, and Real Red blends (bonus points if you make them match your own Christmas sweater!).
Add a sprinkle of lights above them for that festive glow.

3️⃣ Layers –

Adhere you Llamas layer to a pool party mat
Take the Silent Snowfall DSP and use Coastal Cabana ink and bled it using blending brushes
Take a Real Red circle and cut in half Adhere your DSP and circle
I wrapped a bit of white twine around the background layer — because no llama is fully dressed without some crafty accessories, right? 🧶
Adhere the llamas

4️⃣ Sentiment – Stamp “Merry Christmas” in coordinating ink — I used Coastal Cabana

5️⃣ Finishing Touches – A touch of sparkle or Wink of Stella on the scarves adds that frosty shimmer we all love ❄️✨

And there you have it — a fun, festive llama card that’s ready to brighten anyone’s Christmas mailbox!
