Colorful thanks

Hi everyone. Playing in a few challenges today. I used the color palette from Sunday Stamps below as a jumping off point to create this.

I made my own background using distress oxide inks in peacock feathers, wilted violet and cracked pisatchio. I also used some black soot to distress the leaf branch. Click on picture to enlarge and see all the detail.

I used the following stamps to create the background with versamark and clear embossing powder.
French script and corrugated iron from darkroom door
Fancy flourishes from Papertrey, Ink.

To seal everything up, I brushed on some clear glaze from Faber Castell.  Thanks die is cut out three times in glossy black cardstock and stacked together.

The challenge over at Simon Says Stamp is to create your own background.

Thanks for stopping by!

 

Imagine

Hi everyone. I got a chance to play around yesterday with the trend week challenge over at Just Us Girls. The challenge is to use a stencil. Here is what I did with it.

I used the clock stencil from Tim Holtz and paired it with some glossy white embossing paste from Dreamweaver. Once dry I used some spray inks from Memories to add color and then finished off with some distress inks to highlight different areas.

I cut out the word die and inlaid it using black cardstock. Then I added a layer of Faber Castell glaze over it. This gave it a bit of shine and helped to keep the small bits of the word stuck on. Finished this off with adding a layer of black cardstock, satin ribbon and twine.

Thanks for stopping by.
