I'm back again with my favourite type of challenge - a three colour swatch. This was an absolute pleasure to play with. I made a 7x5 card featuring paper pieced shapes. I'm not sure what to call this shape... it is a die from an old Pinkfresh Studio set of snowflakes... clearly not your average snowflake! I cut it from each of my selected patterned papers and mixed them up piecing back into white outlines so each of the three shapes had all of the colours. I added them to a panel with a touch of subtle inking around the edge and placed them on my card base. I die cut the sentiment from matching patterned paper and added that below. A quick note on the 'patterned paper' - the bright blue piece is actually a piece I stamped and ink blended using a Concord and 9th Turnabout stamp. I was following a Jennifer McGuire video tutorial on the iron off embossing technique. The piece has sat in my stash unused for a few years now. I may have used less than an inch and a half
It's the third Tuesday of the month which of course means there's a sketch up at CAS Colours and Sketches . Take a look... I've gone for three shades (ombre-ish) of Concord and 9th cardstock to create my stripes. They are layered up so there is a small amount of dimension too. The 'happy' is from Concord and 9th and the birthday is from Create A Smile. I've layered them up too. Such a simple design but I kinda want to make it over and over in different colourways. This is for the CC&S challenge which runs until the 4th of March - we'd love you to join us!
