I don't get the time to create for the Color Challenge much, so I was excited to give it a go today during my vacation.
I took a 9 x 12 sheet of watercolor paper and used the direct to paper technique to cover the watercolor paper with the 3 colors of distressed ink in a random fashion.
I also used some of the Golden Glimmer Mist with a stencil to add a bit of ghosted imaging. Spritzed it all with dazzling diamonds. Finally, I cut a rectangle for one card (using it as a full background) and a heart from the rest of the background using the new Stampin' Up thinlet.
This was really fun, thank you!
Hugs,
Audrie

Absolutely gorgeous, Audrie. Oh my, your colors are incredible together. I love that spray and stencil as well. The perfect touch is the paper piercing. Beautiful, as always.

Fabulous is what this background is. Pink and orange is one of my favourite combos at present, which is funny, my mother would never have let me wear pink and orange. Pink, yes, orange, no!

Wow, wow, wow, what fabulous depth of colour and sparkle. I love how the colours look even brighter against the crisp white. Your work (and words) always inspire me.
