Winter Woods/Color Challenge
Today I participated in another color challenge card event and I love the way this card came out. I used the ink direct to block technique. The colors blended nicely. I chose Highland Heather, Pretty Peacock, and Mint Macaron. These 5 colors were included in the challenge.
Recipe:
Cardstock:
- Pretty Peacock 5.5″ x 4.25″ and a scrap
- Highland Heather 5.25″ x 4″ and a scrap
- Very Vanilla 5″ x 3.75″ and a scrap
Designer Series Paper: Woven Threads DSP (3.75″ x 1.5″)
Technique: Apply highland heather ink to the middle of the acrylic block, then apply mint macaron to the top and pretty peacock to the bottom. Mist lightly with water to let the colors blend and then pick up the block and tilt slightly to allow the colors to run. Apply the block to the very vanilla card stock and allow the ink to soak into the card stock before removing the block. When dry, stamp the desired image over the colored block image.
- Adhere highland heather card stock to pretty peacock base.
- Apply woven threads DSP to the bottom of the very vanilla layer.
- Attach pretty peacock linen thread to cover seam between very vanilla and the DSP.
- Punch pretty peacock, very vanilla, and highland heather circles.
- Stamp greeting on highland heather
- Adhere circles in desired layers
- Attach very vanilla stamped layer to the highland heather layer.
- Attach stacked circles/greeting
- Spray lightly with champagne mist shimmer paint diluted in 70% rubbing alcohol. Allow to dry
- Attach a few woven threads sequins
