Hey, hey, hey...it's hump day and it's time for a new Color Throwdown Challenge! Check out the fun color combo that Barbara Anders has for us! I am SOOO ready to see some REAL forsythia blooming in my yard! For now, I'll have to be content with this sweet home decor photo.
I started by sponging some Basic Gray ink over a Dylusions dot stencil. I then stamped two washi tape images from SU's Tape It set. The crimped kraft frame is by Jillibean Soup and the sentiment was clear embossed to give it more definition. I've started doing that almost routinely when I stamp sentiments in black ink. Because Versafine Onyx Black is a pigment ink, it doesn't dry quite as fast and it's easier for the EP to adhere to it. The little Paper Smooches chubby chum tabby was stamped on X-Press It Blending Card with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with Copics. I used the matching die - also by Paper Smooches. It's hard to see, but I added some shimmer to the eyes with a clear Wink of Stella shimmer brush. I'm also playing along with the current CAS-ual Fridays Challenge to use color blocking.
Remember...to play along, you don't have to use exact colors - just something that's close.
If you upload to a public gallery, please use the keyword CTD 276 and also link up your card on the Color Throwdown blog using the linky tool.
