OK - on to this week's Color Throwdown Challenge:
You can check out what the rest of the team created with this color combo HERE <------click! and there's still time to play along and submit your card if you'd like!!
Here's what I made:
I made a few cards using a "faux" no watercolor technique a couple of weeks ago using water-reactive inks (you can check out that post HERE if you missed it) and wanted to do something similar again. This time I used Distress Inks which are definitely water reactive - and have colors that would work for this color challenge!
I heat embossed the florals from Simon Says Stamp's Beautiful Flowers 2 stamp set onto Bee watercolor paper using Hero Arts White Satin Pearl embossing powder. I then rubbed Distress Ink mini pads directly over the images and sprayed them liberally with water. Once dry I die cut them with the coordinating wafer dies.
I used the same embossing powder to heat emboss Simon's Quilted Hearts background onto the Ivory card base, then sprayed the card base with Peeled Paint Distress Oxide spray.
I used the spray on the inside of the card, and also stamped the big floral cluster with Milled Lavender Distress Oxide ink. I added a white heat embossed sentiment from the Beautiful Flowers 2 stamp set and that was it!
