JAI #598 - Colour Combo

Hi, hi! It's time for another challenge with Just Add Ink and this week we've got a colour combo for you to play with:

Cherry cobbler is (as any frequent visitor will know) my all-time favourite SU colour and I love it paired with pretty much any other shades. This combo made me think 'bloke'; consequently, I've made a blokey card.

I made an ink smooshed background using misty moonlight and Sahara sand, adding in some neutral oxide inks for layering (you can't layer dye inks) and gold embossing the gorgeous cogs stamp from the set once it was all dry. More touches of gold in the 'button' on his collar and the star feature top left, while the banner punched adornment and his collar are cherry cobbler. The cogs stamp is repeated on the background piece of Sahara sand card. I think the sentiment sticker I picked suits this gent perfectly, don't you? He seems to have attitude in spades, lol. 

Materials used:

• stamps - Observations (Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous)
• card - basic black, watercolour, Sahara sand, cherry cobbler
• other - stitched rectangle die, Big Shot, aquapainter, gold embossing powder, heat tool, gold pearl, water spritzer, Small Talk sticker (Tim Holtz), Idea-ology star adornments (Tim Holtz), frayed burlap and antique linen distress oxide inks, Dimensionals, sponge daubers, antique gold gilding wax, small pennant punch

There's plenty more inspiration for you over on the Just Add Ink blog so do be sure to wander over and take a peek. As always, we'd love to see your own creation in our gallery.

Thanks for dropping in.

Cheers
