JAI #649 - Just Add a Colour Combo

Hello and welcome; it's time for another colour challenge with Just Add Ink and the combo we have for you this week is a stunner!

Bermuda bay has long been one of my favourite SU colours and I'll be sad to see it go 😞, so it was nice to have the opportunity to give it a good send off, so to speak. Today I've paired the challenge colours with some neutral black in a simple layered card. 

I've had the ombre paper for some time but haven't used it until now - I'm going to have to get it out again soon though, because I rather love the effect here with the embossing. It's quite thin paper and my Big Shot has a ton of pressure, so there's a few little cracks but as there's nothing I can do to fix it, I'm telling myself leaves do often have cracks in them! 😉 As you know, I love layering up my sentiment dies and this one has three layers, making it a nice solid base for the birdie to sit on. 

Materials used:
  • card - basic black, basic white, SU retired ombre DSP
  • other - floating foliage 3D embossing folder (Altenew), layered songbird dies (SSS), hugs die, blending brushes, Dimensionals, craft foam, black gem, Big Shot, water and paintbrush

Be sure to check out other inspiration for these colours over on the challenge blog and of course we'd love to see your own creations in the gallery.

Thanks for calling in.

Cheers
Kerry

I love how you've colored the bird, Kerry. I just added him to my wish list. He's perfect sitting on the word die in front of the embossed leaves.
