Okay . . . I have to admit . . . I’m hooked on Color Burst! Ever since I opened them and started playing, I can’t stop. I’m like a kid in the candy store . . . let’s try this and let’s try that. It’s an addiction and one that you don’t want to quit!
When I left CHA, Ken gave me a hand full of backgrounds that he had made during this demos. The background for my card today, is one that he made! After I finished my watercolor of the flower, all the backgrounds I had made were just too light and this one from Ken had just the colors and boldness needed.
The image (an older Hero Arts from my stash) was water colored with Orange, Lemon Yellow, Alizarin Crimson, Ultramarine Blue and Athalo Green. The seam binding was dyed by using Alizarin Crimson and adding just a touch of Lemon Yellow.
The tag was made from the same background paper and Ken’s new Pegz Stamps, Uppercase Alphabet.
I used some (new to me) Tonic Studios layering dies to make the card: Squares for the background and Circles for the image. I settled on black for highlighting the image, but I couldn’t leave well enough alone and added some white doodles. It’s been a very long time since I’ve done that! Nothing like playing and getting back to one’s stamping roots.
I think that’s all I have. Truthfully I got sidetracked while I was writing this post and now I’m back about 3 hours later with no train of thought left.
All I can say is . . . thanks for stopping by!
