This is for the color challenge this week, using Real Red, Blue Bayou and Soft Sky. I was so inspired by all the beautiful creations of my fellow stampers with this color combination, I just couldn't wait to try it myself.
I stamped the tugboat and dingy and then masked them both off, stamped the heart, masked that, and then sponged the sky using both Soft Sky and Blue Bayou with a little Barely Banana around the edges just to warm it up a little. I stamped the heart again on red DP for the heart and cut and attached. I used red heart eyelets for the portholes and red wire to attach the two boats together. I used my red Copic pen to color brads at either end of the wire (way cool!). The boats were watercolored with the three designated colors and a little Barely Banana in the portholes. Liquid Applique was used on the waves and smoke. I then used strips of Bordering Blue to make a frame and stamped with Blue Bayou with my Weathered BG stamp. I finished everything off with some red ric-rac. TFL
