Yesterday I was blog surfing and I came across this delightful blog called "Just Add Ink" and they have a Colour Challenge this week! I love Colour Challenges! So I decided to play along. Here are the colours they asked for!
I inked up my new favourite set, "Watercolour Trio" and a retired stamp called "Weathered". I need to get the "Sanded" BG stamp as it is similiar! I inked the flowers in Close to Cocoa, Ruby Red and Pretty in Pink. I had no Suede paper or ink (it is on my next order) and so I subbed in Close to Cocoa and Kraft. I used the Saffron as an "aging" tool and sponged the yellow across the main panel...adding an antique look. I also wrapped some hemp twine around the side of the card.
This was my last piece of Ruby Red and I am so sad to see it being retired. I am hoping to get another couple of packs before it is gone forever!
Thanks for stopping by!
Smiles, Lesley :)
