Welcome to Inspire.Create.Challenge - #184

I am so excited to share my first project for the Inspire.Create.Challenge Design Team. I feel honoured to be part of this great group of crafters.

Our Challenge today is a Colour Challenge and is Challenge #001

When Hannah shared this with me I was a little concerned that it is a very limited pallet, but after thinking about it for a few days I knew exactly what I wanted to do, and happily it worked out pretty much as I had envisaged.

I used Watercolour Paper to create the circle (not sure if I see this as a blood moon or a sunset, but you can take your pick), die cut using the largest of the layering circle dies. Using an Aqua Painter I added water to the whole piece, and I mean quite a lot of water. Having dried the Aqua Painter off a bit, I used it to add Calypso Coral Ink and allowed it to move across the circle. While this was drying, I stamped the line of trees from Lovely As A Tree about a third of the way up a piece of Basic Grey Cardstock; I stamped the middle part of this again on the bottom half of the Watercolour Paper circle and then lined the images up, adhering using MultiPurpose Glue. The Cat was coloured using Basic Grey again; I punched a cat from a piece of scrap Whisper White card and used the negative as a mask to sponge Basic Grey ink through with a sponge dauber before punching this out. A quick sentiment from You're Delightful mounted on Calypso Coral Card stock and we were done.

Dimensions:

Cardbase A5 folded in half to form and A6 base

Whisper White mat – 5-5/8 x 3-7/8” (14.25 x 9.75cm)
