Good morning! I had a successful shopping excursion yesterday with my daughter - I ended up getting a few things that made me happy. I think today I'll work on cleaning out my closet a bit, make some room for the new stuff!
I love color challenges - I love realizing that I love a new color combination and having fun trying different techniques with it. The card below was made for the Color Dare Challenge, and turned out to be one of my all-time favorite color combinations, even though they weren't colors I would necessarily have normally chosen to play with.
I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Color Dare #638
Addicted to Stamps & More - Make Your Mark
I used the ink smooshing technique to create my background on a sturdy piece of watercolor paper. I love this technique - you never get the same look twice. I find it works best if you dry each layer of ink before adding the next color - I use my embossing tool to speed the process along. My stamp is from the Floral Shells set at Pink & Main, stamped with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I then colored with alcohol markers and Stickles, fussy cut and attached with foam dimensional tape. I die cut some tiny shells from a piece of Snowbound sparkly designer paper from Tonic Studios and attached them with a foam dimensional dot in each corner. Peace.
Great focal point and sentiment, beautiful background and card. Thanks for sharing with us at Color Dare.
