Welcome back to Colour INKspiration for challenge number 41. Amazing that we have been going that long!! This week we are choosing any 3 of the Regal Colours - that sounds easy but it has really challenged me this time.
Here are the 3 colours I chose.
I attempted this card quite a few times and it didn't quite work as I had in my head, but it's nice and fresh I think. I love the 2 greens watercoloured together, and I painted a big sheet before stamping on it. ( I ended up with lots of leftovers and will have quite a few more cards to show in the next few days ).
The shaded spruce is a quite bluey- green so it contrasts nicely with the earthy nature of garden green.
One of my Mum's friends has been really supportive while she has been sick, so this is a thankyou card for her.
The little timber heart has been embossed with white powder. ( I"m sorry these are retired but I have to use up bits in my stash- it's getting a bit unmanageable!!!)
Once I adhered the watercoloured panel to the blackberry mat I ran the whole piece through the Subtle Embossing Folder. This serves 2 purposes- it makes the whole piece flatter, and it helps bond the two pieces together - and as a bonus it looks fantastic and adds a bit of texture. I'm not sure if you can see it in this photo, but it's a regular trick I do.
All the images are from Petal Palette which hasn't seen much action in a while, but it's so easy to use.
I used some of the cast off bits for the inside. Blackberry Bliss is just such a delicious colour!
Before me this week is Lou, and next on the hop this week is Rachel, You'll love her Christmas creation.
Don't forget we love to see what you can create using the challenge colours, and post it to our Facebook page.
I hope you have a creative week and remember,
"don't just post online,
post something pretty!"
cheers, Liz
