I’m honoured to be This Thursday’s first Guest Designer today! Tracey, Fi and Susie have started their own challenge blog, all about creativity, for all genres of crafty people – anything goes! Their first theme is ‘Fresh’ – colours, fresh inks, feeling fresh… using the “Rainforest” Queue of Coloubox Pigment Inks, kindly sent to me by Craft4Creation. I love the shades of greens I was sent and used them on these 3 cards, inking the edges of the Fan card’s scraped paint background in the first example:
Here I have used 3 toning inks to edge the small images and around the entire arch to compliment the watercolour background, which is mainly blue and green.
On this one, I have used photopaper/glossy cardstock for the arch and smooshed each of the inks onto it to create a blended background for the bamboo and images:
I’d like to wish This Thursday huge success and shall be eagerly looking forward to each new challenge this creative trio come up with! I just popped over to see if they were ‘live’ and I had forgotten all about this Circus Tag… using my Diva Impressions stamp.
