Well hello Thanks for joining me on my second post of today. It's the start of the next new monthly challenge over on the Handmade Bliss Blog . This month we have a fun colour challenge for you, with lovely warm colours that remind me of Summer. Especially as its more like Autumn here in Lancashire. Anyhows. I'm waffling on. Onto my inspiration for this challenge.
I've used the ever so useful Altenew Hennah Elements stamp set.
Here's how I made it.
Here's how I made it.
I've coloured a background piece with acrylic paints and a sponge in all the shades of turquoise from the colour palette and stamped the corners with Teal Stazon ink using a variety of the small stamps in the set.
Next I've used the Orange and yellow colours on a tag again with acrylic paints and a plastic spreader and I've added some yellow grunge paste through a spinning tops stencil and using another of the small stamps with orange Stazon ink.
I've layered these two pieces onto a matt of white card coloured with silver gilding wax. Just on the visible edges, it's cheaper than a whole piece of mirror card.
I've stamped the flowers in Grey Stazon and coloured with Distress Markers and pencils using grey and white for the petals cut them out and glued to the tag. Embellishments of lace, ribbon, and an altered children play button have been added along with my must have bling of some clear gems.
All is adhered it to a dark teal card base.
