CAS197 Color Challenge

Photo Details

Poster: hskelly

This is for the CAS197 challenge which is a color challenge: plum, lavender, tan and gray. These were tough colors for me but I think I like how my card came out.
I masked off the front of the card and sponged Memento Sweet Plum, Lavender Lulu and Distressed Tea Dye inks into the negative space. I then cut out the Modern Landscape border from Memory Box. I didn't have gray card stock so I used silver.
I may stamp a sentiment later when I decide what to use this for.

Beautiful use of the colours! I agree it's a difficult colour challenge!

Reverse masking is an easy way to give depth to a CAS card. Your sky is amazing! I love it!!!
