Color Challenge

These beautiful colors on the

Sunday Stamps Blog

looked very appealing to me

and I just had to make a card with them.

Used stamps:

Stampin'Up! Beautiful You and Timeless Textures stampsets.

I started making the background with these 3 colors of 

distress oxide inks: fossilized Amber, spiced Marmelade

and Worn Lipstick. I used watercolor paper.

Addinkg the ink direct to my craft sheet and spraying

some water onto the ink and also on the watercolor paper.

Than getting the paper on the craftsheet and 

taking the ink on the paper.

So much ink was left, that I ended up with 2 pieces

of background paper.

After stamping the image to the background, I used the left

over ink from the craftsheet to color the image.

For the skirt i added some pink glitter glue.

Some of the left over paper I used to decorated the 

inside of the card.

The left over piece of watercolor paper I used 

to make my card for the Art Neko Blog today.

For this card I used two stamps: the big one in the middle that is 

embossed with silver embossing powder is the Circle Medallion

of Flowers on a bed of calligrapy. I decorated the circle

also with yellow sticky pearls.

On the border of the card I used the ginkgo leaf pair stamp

and finished off the card with an organza hot pink ribbon.

Matting the background to silver paper and to

the pink card I now have two cards for the color challenge.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!
