My Upline, Melissa Faust hosts a weekly color challenge. I love participating in this challenge. Sometimes the color combinations are not what I would think to put together and that's why I love it. I love the colors (Blackberry Bliss, Blueberry Bushel, Gorgeous Grape, and Timid Tiger) that were in last week's challenge, but I don't think I've ever put them all together. My first thought was a fall themed card, but nothing was coming to me. I had recently made a card with the Scenic Adventures bundle. I pulled that set out and the first thing I thought was Purple Mountains Majesty and the rest, as they say, is history 😉
I knew I wanted to use bending brushes for this card. I started by punching a 2 inch circle from masking paper and stuck it on my basic white cardstock mat.I started blending at the bottom with Blackberry Bliss, next Timid Tiger, then Blueberry Bushel, next Gorgeous Grape and last Blackberry Bliss ink. I went over it again with the colors to get the desired color I wanted. I removed the masking circle and used a spritzer with water to make spots for stars. I used a blending brush with Timid Tiger over the white circle left from masking. Because it was still wet I got the darker spots on the moon.
I die cut the mountain with Basic White cardstock and used Blending Brushes and ink to color the. The trees are die cut with Blackberry Bliss cardstock.
I hope this inspires you to try something new. Whether it be a color combination you've never tried, or a technique you havent done in awhile.
