Karen is our hostess in the Color Challenge this week, and she has asked us to make a card using Powder Pink, Wild Wasabi, Crumb Cake and Chocolate Chip. The dessert option is watercoloring.
This combo was a little bit of a challenge for me, and even after the design took form in my head, I really, really wanted some blue sky and a shining sun. Oh, well, that's the fun of the Challenge--to make a card using only the challenge colors plus neutrals. My neutrals this week are white and gray.
I used hot press watercolor paper for my stamped images. I like using it because it is so smooth. I used my Zig brush markers for the watercoloring, Created the brick wall from a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock sponged with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink (close to Chocolate Chip) through a brick stencil. I hope you like my little woodland friends!
Thanks for stopping by, and please play along with us this week!
