My friend Sharon Harnist was the guest host for yesterday’s color challenge. I had to participate for that reason alone. But…she also picked a GORGEOUS color combo: Basic Gray, Purely Pomegranate and Soft Sky! It was a pleasure to create with these colors.
I started out with a 4 1/4″ x 11″ piece of Going Gray cardstock folded in half.
Next is a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Shimmery White cardstock. The corners were punched with the ticket corner punch.
On top of that is a 1/4″ smaller piece of Soft Sky Prints Designer paper. Again those corners were ticket corner punched.
Then I stamped the Argyle stamp from All in a Row on all four sides with Basic Gray to add the faux stitched look.
I just recently received my Nestabilities die cuts and hadn’t had a chance to use them yet. I used the largest scallop oval with Purely Pomegranate and sponged the edges. Next is a layer of Basic Gray, then Shimmery White.
On the Shimmery White layer I stamped the angel from Holy Triptych in Basic gray. I let it dry and colored the angel in wiht Aqua Painter and Purely Pomegranate, Blush Blossom, Soft Sky and Basic Gray classic inks.
I love the fact that you can watercolor over the Basic Gray ink from Stampin’ Up!.
I paper pierced around the edge of the Shimmery oval and taped all ovals together.
Purely Pomegranate Satin Ribbon was tied around the Shimmery White/Soft Sky prints layers. Those were adhered to the card base with dimensionals.
For the saying I stamped Praying for you from So Many Sayings on shimmery white, punched it out with the small oval punch and sponged the edges. I also stamped the swirls from the tag of Holy Triptych in second generation Soft Sky, just to add a bit more texture to it. The circle was layered on a 1″ sponged Basic Gray Circle and taped down with another dimensional.
