Warm Wishes–Color Challenge
I have tons of other things I should be doing this morning, but I couldn’t resist today’s color challenge at SCS–use River Rock, Black and Basic Gray. I don’t have the new Basic Gray, so instead I used a piece of patterned paper from Basic Grey’s Periphery paper pad. Too bad very little of it shows as it has a nice little fancy pattern on it!
Anyway, I stamped the image (available AND on sale here) in black and used some River Rock and Basic Gray-ish Copics to add a bit of color. I then went over some areas with the colorless blender pen to add a bit of highlight. If you look closely, you can see that I stamped Linen in River Rock on the card base. I also distressed and sponged some of the edges.
I am off now to get a crown! (Too bad it isn’t for my head.) Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day, and don’t forget to check out Lindsey’s Inka contest!!
