Hello and thank you being here, again, today. I am so pleased that you are popping by to see what my latest, latest project is.
As I mentioned recently, my new Sunday posts will be a project from the Global Design Project’s weekly challenges. And, if you saw my earlier post today you will know that I made two amazing projects for the challenge but I only used two of the three colours. The third colour should have been Seaside Spray but I used Soft Sea Foam – I know, how wrong can you be. And yet, I posted and confessed my mistake. An hour later, I decided that I still wanted to participate – so, here is the card I have just finished ‘throwing’ together.
I grabbed the Enjoy the Moment Stamp Set from my shelf and the challenge colour ink pads – Sahara Sand, Seaside Spray and So Saffron, as well as the reinkers. I very quickly decided to use the Fluid 100 Water Colour Paper so that I could do some messy water colouring. I stamped the images, using the Saddle Brown StazOn ink pad – each image was stamped off twice before the image was stamped onto the water colour paper.
Each image was water coloured with minimal water on the paper. The small amount of green was achieved after combining 5 drops of So Saffron with 2 drops of Seaside Spray. When the images were dry I went back and added some direct colour to create distinct lines and edges.
When each image had dried, I used the Rectangular Postage Punch to create each ‘space’. There are elements of this card that I would refine a second time around – but, it’s not too bad for a project made an hour before the Challenge (and 25 minutes from finishing this post).
Phew, I think this last ‘minute’ card has come together fairly well. And, I am still chuckling that my first effort had one of the colours totally wrong – I think my signature hashtag should be #keepingitreal – what do you think?
I hope that you like it.
Happy stamping.
