I literally got these colours last week!!!! They screamed Halloween to me. I bought them as a group intending to use them together. I had a big wow smile this morning seeing the combo!
I went with something that works and that I like to do. I thought about what would naturally be these colours and how could they combine together to make other colours. I ended up making a little masked scene with a sponged background. Hope nobody thinks, oh here she goes again... But I just love making these little scenes and haven't done a Halloween one for almost forever!
Stamped and masked frog, pumpkin, tombstone, ghost in that order. Coloured them all with copics (Peach Passion = YR14, PP = G82 with G20, CC = BV08, I also used some W greys which I counted as a neutral) and then remasked and sponged the BG's together; then I took them apart. Next I layered it up, added my ribbon and piece of spider web and stamped the sentiment which I double stamped to give a shadow effect. I doodled on the border on the Peach and Pear because it looked too clean and needed grunging a bit. Last I sponged black ink all along the outside of the concord crush card base.
Love this colour combo and can't wait to use it again for some more Halloween cards and items.
Hope you like my little scene and thanks for looking.
PS Sorry but the ghost is coming out pure white in the photo but there is actually pear and grey mixed together in him. He's better IRL.
