Color Challenge Week #1

My friend Shannon Cole decided to start a color challenge for her Stampin' Up! group. She offered up a small prize to a random winner every week! The rules are:

• Do the best you can with the colors that are presented in the photograph attached
• All supplies MUST be current Stampin' Up! products
• An additional challenge this week was to use the Oh So Succulent Stamp set

Here is week #1's inspiration:

The Stampin' Up! colors identified were:

• Old Olive
• Pear Pizzazz
• Rich Razzleberry
• Night of Navy
• Pacific Point
• Whisper White

Here is my submission:

Techniques

My stamp sets are VERY wet, so for all of the outlines I used the stamped image as is. Then for the internal colors, I either stamped off once or used a dauber to lessen the amount of ink on the stamp.

Sponged edges were done by holding the cardstock in my hand & dabbing a sponge in an ink pad, then dragging it along the edges of the cardstock until effect desired resulted.

Lastly, I stamped my sentiment directly on the card, but sure enough - it came out crooked! - So I stamped it again on a scrap piece and popped it up instead! (pictured in group shot below)

Supplies:

• Old Olive Ink
• Rich Razzleberry Ink
• Night of Navy Ink & Cardstock
• Whisper White Cardstock
• Daffodil Delight Ink
• Oh So Succulent Stamp Set
• Navy Twine
• Pearls
• Sponges / Daubers
• Glue Dots
• Pop Dots / Dimensionals
