Hello friends! We're in mid-October, which calls for a new challenge over at Color Hues! The fabulous Hannelie has chosen a wonderful fall-ish combination of Yellow and Kraft.
I'm also playing along with the monthly Four Seasons Challenge, where October is Anything Goes Fall (and look at that fab mood board, I'm sure I'm going to be playing along again this month!).
Many options with the Color Hues combo, but I decided to use a new floral stamp set which I think worked well with yellow and kraft (plus a little gold and white ;-)).
I started by stamping the Rose Reverie image (a Simon Says Stamp/Altenew collab stamp and die set from Stamptember) on a white panel then coloring with Copic markers. I sampled a couple of brown marker combos before finding a blending group that was closest to kraft. The image was then die cut with the coordinating die.
Next I cut a panel of white with the Tim Holtz Simple Plaid cover die, which was then layered on a panel of kraft, which was then adhered to a white card base. Before adhering the floral image, both the flowers and background were splattered with metallic gold and white paint. While that dried, the sentiment was gold heat embossed then die cut with matching die. I also cut out two more layers each of the floral image and the sentiment. When the splatter was dried, the images were layered up, then adhered to the background panel. I then took a small paintbrush and added metallic gold to the little anthers (tops of the stamen) in the middle of the flowers and that finished things off.
I love this color combo and I hope you do too! Take a moment to visit the challenge blog and see what my amazingly talented teammates created for your inspiration and hopefully you will join us - the challenge remains open until 9 am EDT 10/28.
