Hi there and welcome back! It's time for a new Color Challenge at Splitcoaststampers! Barbara is hosting this week and has chosen Calypso Coral, Old Olive and Mint Macaron, with a dessert option to use designer paper. I opted not to go for dessert this week.
I decided to use another of Suzy's Watercolor Prints from Simon Says Stamp, this time with these lovely roses. I used Copic markers to color and was going to use mint for the background on the print but didn't want to have a sentiment on my card, which the print does, so I ended up fussy cutting the image. I'd forgotten how "fun" it is to fussy cut watercolor paper, and then I had to use my craft knife to cut out a few of the interior areas, which is REALLY outside my comfort zone. But hey, we do what we must for our art, right?
For the background I die cut a piece of white card stock with an A2 sized scallop rectangle die, taped off the outside edges, then inked up a background stamp inked with Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide ink. I stamped it off once to get a lighter impression, then stamped the background. Once done I decided to splatter a bit of the same ink along with some Black Gesso. Once dry, it was adhered to a white card base then the fussy cut rose was added with foam tape and added a few of my favorite clear sequins. I opted not to add a sentiment so it could be used for any number of occasions.
Thanks so much for visiting, it's always appreciated!
