Our INKspiration for this round is filled with bold jewel like colours!
Here's what I came up with.
The ornate wrought iron patterns in the door caught my eye and an idea was born! I pulled out one of the Pattern Party stencils and got to work creating the background. Not hard to do but a little time consuming. I actually only had to move the stencil four times in total to cover the whole front and with a geometric pattern it was easy to match up. And honestly I wasn't looking for perfection so I was just dolloping colour wherever I felt it should go. One tip to note is that while I used my aqua painter I actually took the brush tip off the water reservoir. I found with it attached too much water was coming through and the ink would leak under the stencil. To add a little shine I clear embossing my Elegant Eggplant sentiment and also swished over my flowers with a little Wink of Stella. I loved working with the bright tones of blue, green and purple - very happy making :)
The challenge runs till August 21st. Hope you can join us! Next up, on the blog hop is Mel Pagano with another awesome project. Enjoy!
