Welcome back for another great colour challenge, and with purples it always IS a challenge for me - what about you?
Today’s picture which has inspired our colour palette was chosen by Colour INKspiration Crew Member, Rose Packer.
Our guest designer this week is Rochelle Laird Smith. We love her work in the past and are excited to see what she creates for us with these lovely strong colours.
I wanted to play with a set, that's been in my new product pile for a little bit, although when I created the card it was still on the Last Chance list I fear that now it is discontinued. That's such a shame because the design images in the set allow for a lot of options to create your own background.
I had a few tries but in the end liked a simple layered approach with tone on tone texture lines over the distinktive background colour swatch- a faux watercolour look.
The dies cut a range of ovals, stars and diamonds as well as some tiny flowers which were enough decoration for this card.
The sentiment is also from a retired set- the January Product of the Month. So I'm happy to have used some of my stash for this month's project.
