Hi All
Wow, two posts in one day, what can I say, it can't last!!
There is a new kid on the challenge block,
Inkspirational owned and run by my lovely Teamie Mynnette.
It is a weekly challenge, and the first week of every month will be a colour inkspiration, this month it is Dark Pink, Kiwi and Black.
I decided that I just had to join in, and so I have used it as the basis for my class at Davina's next Saturday.
I love trying out new colour combinations and this is where the challenges are so brilliant, they make you think outside the box, or at least they do me.
I have used one of the Woodware Clear Magic stamps designed by
Jane Gill. There were several in the last catalogue and they work so well for this technique that I got carried away, so expect several more posts using this colour combo.
I also like to use the sketch challenges for inspiration and here I have used the current sketch from
Tuesday Morning Sketches. This in fact is the reason for the second blog post of the day, the challenge finishes in just over an hour. Nothing like cutting it fine!!
The panel has been created by sponging Mowed Lawn and Picked Raspberry Distress Ink over the stamped and embossed image. The ghosting is the result of stamping with a clean stamp that has been spritzed with water.
The double-sided background paper is Magenta MEMOR-212 Spring Tapestry, and I have added a faux stitched border to the stamped panel.
The buttons, threads and tiny black pearls are all from my stash.
I'm really pleased with the results, I love this combo it is so bright and vibrant. Thanks for the challenges Girls.
See you again tomorrow, I hope, I have so many things to share with you already.

ReplyDeleteKim, I love this sponging, the result is so gorgeous. I find this technique so difficult and you have made it look so easy! The colours all blend so well. Thanks for joining us at Inkspirational.
ReplyDeleteKim, the black silhouette pops beautifully against the background paper, the result is so dramatic! A great take on the sketch layout too!
