Fun color challenge today! The orange color on my w/c bg is actually what happens when you mix the melon color w/ the yellow.
I used Brushos on the bg, dried it w/ heat gun, then splattered a little gold acrylic paint & split it into sections. Having them separated like this was very challenging to say the least. I placed them on top of the die cut turquoise bg w/ temporary adhesive & stamped the silhouette on top. Leaving the turquoise mat in place, I removed the orange w/c layer & stamped the silhouette again.
I liked the look the textured turq c/s gave to the ground area, but not so much on the cowboy. So I stamped him again on a separate piece & fussy cut him. Yikes! That was some fancy cutting, let me tell you! Then I had to go over all the cut edges w/ a black marker to keep them from showing. I added the greeting & big star frame to finish.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups & the inside are on my blog: The Write Stuff
