It's time for a new Color Challenge! It's my turn to host this week and I've chosen the colors of Watermelon Wonder, Old Olive and Smoky Slate, with the dessert option to use a die cut sentiment/shape/image.
For my card, I watercolored and fussy cut the floral image, then mounted it over the base covered with striped patterned paper and a die cut border. I also used a Crimson colored pencil in the very shaded areas of the image and then painted with a shimmer pen.
The sentiment was die cut from both black and Watercolor Wonder card stocks, layered slightly offset so the black would provide a shadow. Once adhered to the base, crystal glaze was added from some nice shine. The final touch was to add black and white Nuvo crystal drops.
Thanks for looking and I hope you'll be able to join the Color Challenge this week!
