Happy Friday!! It's time for another challenge from Jo's Scrap Shack. This week we have a color challenge for you. You must use, yellow, green and brown on your project.
Our sponsor is Robyn's Fetish.
I was given this beautiful image to work with and at first the color combo had me completely at a loss since this is obviously a Christmas image and the colors are not Christmas-y. But then I remembered that I had bought this beautiful window die about two months ago and hadn't used it yet. And then an idea was hatched! So I stamped my brown cardstock with a woodgrain stamp and used the die to cut out the window. I traced the inside of the window on my card base and then masked off the lines and sponged it with yellow ink to look like the soft glow from a candle. And my green comes in with the holy leaves. I used my scor-pal to score every half inch across my card base and then sponged some antique linen distress ink along the grooves to make it look like siding.
Supplies:
Stamps: Robyn's Fetish "Beautiful Bow"; Verve "Peace On Earth"
Dies: Impression Obsession window die

WOW Heather! This is gorgeous hon! I must say... when I give you girls a challenge, it really does make you think outside the box and you do come up with the best projects when you are being challenged! I have noticed that! Great work!!! This is not only beautiful, but it really does give off the effect of a candle glow... and you were able to use a die that hadn't been used yet! So I say this challenge was a huge success! :)
Hope you have a wonderful weekend hon!
Hugs,
Jo
