This is for CC479 - a cantaloupe, a pale green and a darker green and also for TLC482 - inking an embossing folder and using it to create a background. I have not done a color challenge for SO long, but I often look on Tuesday mornings just to see what's on and this week not only were the colors so enticing, I was surprised to realize that I already had a BG I'd made yesterday when I was playing around with the Try a New Technique Challenge lying on my table. The BG kind of got very covered up here, but believe me, it's under there - I inked an SU EF with two dye inks and used it to print on watercolor paper. My first TLC challenge and the first time I've ever combined challenges. I guess I should give myself a gold star. Or a new pair of shoes. (I pick the shoes).
I think I did as well as I ever do with sticking to the colors. Yes, I added that aqua mulberry paper, but really, anyone who knows me knows I that add that color in some form to every color challenge. I was going to use green vellum for those bees and be all "Yes! Complete compliance!", but the aqua just looked so much better.
Great colors, fun technique challenge and thanks for looking!
