I saw this design seed colour swatch and though how lovely the colours were on it,
I thought they would transfer really well onto a craft project, so i challenged Sam use any/all of these colours on anything but a tag, i also wanted her to use a flower as i knew this would be tough for her!
Well i don't know about tough for her but i really struggled! I wanted to work in my journal as i hadn't used it in a while.
Here is my effort
I use sage for the background, and used some sepia archival through a stencil, i achieved the caramel colour by using some 7gypsies tissue paper i had.
The flowers are by Paperartsy and i coloured them with a mix of distress pens and an adirondack caramel ink pad.
I had real trouble finding a match for the grey colour so i used a cloudy blue adirondack ink pad for the words which read 'challenge yourself'
Believe me this was certainly a challenge!
Emma this is great!!! Really like your colour combo and the flowers look lovely xx
ReplyDeleteBut it's lovely - it doesn't look as if it was a struggle. Don't you hate it when you set a challenge and then can't do it yourself?! The colours are gorgeous, and I love the flowers.
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful!
