I had a little time over the weekend to play “Just Because”. Which was fun! I don’t often get that chance. So I had a go at this week’s Colour Inkspirations Challenge 212. It has been a while since I have played along with this.
The Colours were Golden Glow, Crisp Canteloupe, Barely Blush and Lost Lagoon.
It was a bit hard with these colours. I don’t have the Stampin’ Blends or the Ink Refills in these colours or any patterned paper. So I went with the Ink Pads. We are creative people. We can work with what we have right?? 😆
I thought I would go with the “smooshing” technique. I dabbed the ink pads in random places over the large Clear Block. If you don’t have that you could use a piece of acetate. Or if really desparate grab a plate.
I then lightly spritzed the inked block with water and moved the block around a little. Then lay some watercolour paper on to the clear block and pressed over the back of the paper. Voila! It worked ok. The fun thing with this is you could put another piece of paper over and create a second one too as there was enough ink to work it.
I used the Friendly Foliage stamp set and dies. And embossed the Lost Lagoon Card mat with the new Textured Tree Rings Embossing Folder for a subtle background. The sentiment was heat embossed in Gold for a little class.
There is time to play along too if you would like to. It’s good to stretch our creativity. You can find the challenges -> HERE (on Facebook).
Happy Crafting this week with whatever makes your heart happy.
Have a great week,
Jenny
