I was experimenting with Pigment Sprinkles (similar to Brushos) this past week and was surprised to see how close three of them were to the bright colors Mary had chosen for this week's challenge: Lovely Lipstick, Gorgeous Grape and Coastal Cabana. Her dessert option is Birthdays and I'll be needing lots of those cards in the coming month.
I did a few sheets with the colors together and separate. When I held up the butterfly dies the multicolor sheet worked perfectly. The shiny black foil stands up nicely to the bold colors and I used a partial die layout I've used in the past. It was pure luck that my watercolor layer stayed together so there was no laborious piecing required.
I hope those of you in the northern hemisphere are enjoying summer's last hurrah or maybe a taste of fall as we are here in northern Minnesota. Please find a little crafty time to join us with this week's color challenge. These are fun to use!
