I decided to check out the Color Challenge on Split Coast Stampers this morning and found Emily had posted a very interesting color combination. 

The color challenge is to use Stampin’ Up So Saffron, Almost Amethyst and Wild Wasabi.  Here is a link to the challenge if you would like to play  along:  http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=364002

Here is my attempt and the tutorial for this piece.  🙂

Supplies:

Stamped Sun on a 4.5″ x 4.5″ piece of Whisper White Card stock with Basic Black ink.

Sponged on So Saffron Ink, leaving a light spot in the middle of the sun.

Sorry about the photos, I can’t believe how blue this Almost Amethyst ink is looking in the photos.  It really is purple, lol.

Sponged Almost Amethyst ink in the sky area of the card stock.

Tore post it notes through the sticky part to mask the sky area of the card stock.

Sponged on Wild Wasabi ink on the unmasked area to create a hill.

Sponged Basic Black in at the torn edge of the post it notes.

Removed mask.

Inked only the tree part of the stamp (I didn’t want to stamp the grassy part of the stamp).

Stamped Trees with Basic Black ink on both sides of the sun.

Extended the tree trunks with a Black marker.

Added So Saffron Marker to the Sun image.

Colored a little bit of outline on the sun image with an Almost Amethyst marker.

Sponged a little Wild Wasabi ink on the trees.

Attached a panel of So Saffron card stock to a panel of Basic Black card stock and punched small photo corners for each corner out of Basic Black card stock.

Assembled card front and here it is completed measuring 5.25″ x 5.25″.

Hope your day if filled with calm skies.

Until my next post. . . . . . . .
