This scenic card was pretty easy to make and has a rainbow of colors to offset the black backgrouns and white trees. It just takes a few dies, the brush stroke clear stamps, multple inks and some clear embossing powder. The fun part was mixing the colors to get entirely new shades.
For the Inspiration Challenge, IC1001, we are visiting Nicebai & their Pinterest Board. I was inspired by THIS tee shirt. I loved the strokes of colors against the white trees & black background.
I started by picking two of the narrowest brush strokes & placing them in my Misti. Then I used the colors on the shirt as a guide to the colors I picked. I started w/ the center red stroke & made it by inking first w/ nectar a couple of times, then used the bubblegum a couple of times on top. The darker red was done the same way with the addition of lilac & odyssey once each. The orange/red is nectar with apricot. The light blue is sky with just a touch of odyssey. The teal is straight up whisper. The light green is moss by itself. The yellow is custard. The rust color is nectar plus apricot plus pumpkin. The dark blue/violet is odyssey plus lilac, each stamped several times. Then to keep the colors vibrant, I rubbed it all over w/ a Versamark & heat embossed w/ clear powder. In the pictures, it really isn’t pebbled or cracked, it’s just the light reflecting on the glass like coating.
I ended up using only the feathered end of the brush strokes & used the edger die to cut a narrow band. For the white lower edge, I cut another forest, snipped off the trees & turned it upside down then put the band on top of it.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
