new colours at As You See It challenge

Hello there! It’s time for our next challenge at As You See It and I got to pick the colours for this one! What do you think of this palette? I used it with the new ‘poppies’ stamp from Linda’s Florals collection by ClarityCrafts, focusing the colours into the background. This is the final one of my samples from last weekend’s shows and I’m also going to share it with Make My Monday, where the challenge is to make your own backgound.

The first step was to stamp the bunch of poppies onto a square of card and heat meboss it with WOW’s gold metallic superfine powder. I then covered the flowers with the pre-cut masks that come with the stamps and brushed ‘broken china’ and ‘mowed lawn’ Distress Oxides into the background, starting both colours from the centre and sweeping outwards.

I lifted the masks off (they go back on the carrier sheet for next time!), I used a green Pergaliner pencil to shade in the centres of the flowers and a green Pergacolour pen to pick out the pods and the stems.

I heat embossed the ‘poppies’ sentiment onto the topper, then popped it onto a white mount cut with one of the ‘lattice’ nested doodle frame-it panel dies and attached it to a 6×6 card blank.

I do love these colours (which is obviously why I chose them!) and they make a great impact against the white poppies. Come and join us at As You See It – we’d love to see how you use them.

  6. This is just beautiful Deborah – using the colours to blend behind your bright white flowers is so clever and makes for a stunning display. A fabulous use of your chosen palette this week!

  7. This is lovely, Deborah! That gold embossing really creates an effective outline! And the blending and pencil colouring create such beautiful but contained colour, so that the bright white is highlighted. Love it!
