| 6 X 6 Card |
The color challenge is to use teal, red, black and white in your artwork. Here’s my card and a tutorial :
The flowers are Layers of Color Polka Dot Love art stamps and the background is stamped with Creative Flourish and Nature Walk.
All the flowers and leaves were stamped on white cardstock with black ink, cut out and applied to the background with glue. Some of them were bent so that they stand out creating the 3-D effect. I love the dimension this creates!
The supplies for this card are: white cardstock, black ink, Teal Blue StazOn, Scarlet VersaColor, Clear Embossing Powder, Tsukineko Dabber, and Layers of Color Polka Dot Love , Creative Flourish and Nature Walk art stamps.
The background has two simple layers…First, on white cardstock stamp Creative Flourish and Nature Walk flourish repeatedly with red ink. Before it dries, sprinkle with clear embossing powder. Emboss with an embossing heat gun.
For the second layer…Using the dabber and StazOn teal ink, rub over the entire paper leaving some areas heavier, some lighter.
Gently wipe some of the teal ink off of the red areas with a baby wipe and, Voila! Imagine all the wonderful various creations you can make with this handmade designer paper!
