I'm guessing they will still be making an appearance every now and then at CC&S, which is just as well since they are such lovely bright colours and everyone wants to make good use of their ink stash.
I decided to use the partially coloured technique for my card and die cut one large and two smaller circles from the stamped image. I then added colour using a waterbrush to colour just the die cut circles and the stems. Once dry the circles were popped back into their apertures.
In places I added a little too much water and the green on the stems flooded out a bit, but I'm happy with that look as it's one of the things that often happens with watercolouring.
Supplies:
Stamps: Uniko, Pure Florals:Cosmos, Simply Said Birthday
Inks: SU, hello honey, ,ossy meadow, tangelo twist; Staz On, jet black
Die: Spellbinders, standard circles small
So what will you create as your tribute to these three colours? I'll be looking out for your cards popping up in the CC&S gallery.
This card is going into the CAS Challenge at Happy Little Stampers where their theme is inlaid dies and the Make Your Mark Challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More.
Thanks for looking today, I value your time spent at my blog. And keep crafting!
Oh, I thought you'd somehow masked those circles when I first looked at your card. I love those diecut circles, they are brilliant! The watercolourning is so effective and a lovely use of the colours. Caro x
