Happy Friday, everyone! Hope you have some fun stuff planned for the weekend! It's time for a color challenge at As You See It, and this one is quite striking:
I really had no clue what to do with this challenge, but I remembered a set from Colorado Craft and a little light bulb went off! I normally do not go quite as literal with my stamping, but this one just had to be:
I first embossed a piece of Basic Gray cardstock with a Tim Holtz Brick embossing folder, adding some dimension by swiping my Basic Gray ink pad on the inside of the folder before embossing. I then stamped my door on some Azure Afternoon cardstock, gave it a little watercolor shading and fussy-cut it out. The little kitties were stamped, watercolored and also fussy-cut, then they were all mounted on an Azure Afternoon mat and white card base.
I didn't want my sentiment to overpower my design, so a simple hello from an old Flourishes set worked fine! I have been updating all my stamps in a database, adding sentiments so I can find one when I need it, and I have forgotten a lot of my older stamps, so it was nice to give this one some love!
I know this is a challenging color combo, but I enjoyed thinking outside the box a bit and I hope you will too! Play along with us at As You See It! Can't wait to see what you create! Thanks for visiting today! Enjoy it and be blessed!
