Wow this past week has flown by and here I am, already into my third week of The Color Throwdown for the month. This week’s colors are some of my favorite . . .
Here’s my project for the week, using an image from Hampton Art, Hydrangea Collage. It was stamped in Archival Coffee on hot press watercolor paper and water colored with a light wash of Bermuda Bay Ink.
The butterfly was water colored with Wild Honey, the stem in Shabby Shutters and a light wash of Antique Linen was applied to the background. Based on the square around the image, I knew I wanted to die cut around some of the petals.
I trimmed in around the petals out to the edge of the border, and inserted the paper in the Spellbinders™ Square Die with the trimmed area on the outside of the die. The edges of the image panel were then sponged with Antique Linen, hitting the shaded areas a little darker than the rest. The panels behind the image are Certainly Celery, Bermuda Bay and Chocolate Chip.
Heck I even died my seam binding Bermuda Bay to match the ink and paper.
