Blogger Challenge 35/Stormy Sky


Bloggers Challenge this week was to use the colors Pomegranate, Olive and Brilliant Blue. I actually scribbled those colors on my brayer, dotted the brayer with a gold waterbased marker and spritzed the brayer with water. This then became a morphed Brayer Roll Technique that I submitted to Technique Junkies a while back. It's hard to believe that those 3 colors are on the cardstock above, but they are there! I then used another TJNL technique called Spritz & Flick to give the cardstock the "rained on" appearance, cool look, I think. The image is stamped with black Memories ink, then lightly colored with ink and a waterbrush. Image is from the Serenity sheet from Artistic Outpost, check them out! Hugs, Gerrie

VERY cool! Love that stamp, so of course I had to order it-and then saw all the others and had to have all of them, then saw the new sets coming out, so had to pre-order them...oh, this is about you...very creative! I actually thought the spots were snow at first, I think that would work with fun flock on the ground...you did an excellent job on this challenge!

The Spritz and Flick really adds to the card! So cute!

This is a very cool background technique....I will definitely have to try this! The color combo is muted with this application and so much easier on the eyes....truly a great card!
