This week the Inspiration challenge is headed to the Pippin Poppycock site where they have some really beautiful shots organized with colors of yarn fibers, and I kept coming back to this one because of the color combo as I have a little stack of backgrounds made during DTGD to play with on hand.
The background started as a piece of cream cardstock that was run through a Cuttlebug seashell collage folder and inked with some distress Oxide inks ( antique linen, salty ocean, pine needles & vintage photo) and spritzed with some water for oxidized spots. the numbers were all rubbed with some copper metallic rubons and the edges of the seashell have some pearl rub on . The seahorse was cut from some canva paper from strathmore and inked with some distress oxide speckled egg, antique linen, mermaid lagoon & vintage photo inks but, when it was spritzed with water, it just blended and faded the inks rather then giving it the oxidized look flat cardstock produces. so, for texture I added some nuvo drops in a couple of colors and kept adding ink to the paper trying to get it to have some color to it, then rubbed the extra ink off the tops of the drops. The Impression Obsession sea fan die was cut with some Neenah speckled cardstock and I did wrap some teal eyelash fiber around the whole thing a couple of times.
A look at the colors here. You can
find this challenge here at SCS to play along with us, Hope you are all doing well this Labor day weekend. Thanks for stopping by.
