Color Hues #112

Peach and Cobalt.  Those are the colors Stef chose for the Color Hues Challenge.  Here's what I came up with.

It all started with the Terrazzo press plate from Altenew in their Eastern Sky ink.  I looked through the flower dies I brought with me and settled on Altenew's Virginia Rose.  It's cut in a light peach and the layers are colored with Pastel Sky and Canyon Clay, with inked Kraft cardstock for the center and stem.  It needed something more so the PTI frame, layered three times, was added as was a SB sentiment.

AAA Birthday #70

They are featuring one of my favorite techniques over at AAA Birthday - Ink Smooshing.  I got inky and made two cards. 

This smooshing used a combination of Uncharted Mariner and Pine Needles Distress Inks.  Many layers later I was happy with the results but thought it needed something more.  Out came my new Terrazzo press plate from Altenew that was inked with Lisa Horton silver.  The border is C9 Peacock and the sentiment from PB was cut from holographic paper.

The second card has a darker vibe.  The same colors as above with a little Scorched Timber thrown in.  The Terrazzo was done in dark brown which is also the color of the border.  I tried a dark brown sentiment but it didn't show up so I picked out a lighter color using the dark brown as a shadow but it's not very visible in the photo.  It was fun playing with inks and now I have two masculine cards to add to my stash.

Thanks for dropping by.
