Beware of the yellows of March!!! Yellow keeps coming back to haunt me. I do believe that the powers that be are determined to make me appreciate some yellow. I will admit, I am trying hard to quit being a yellow hater. I used yellow on much of the samples 3here. I was trying to experiment with things and use my new stamps too. I have 2 different cards here. One that uses the Brono stamp by Stampin UP! and one that uses stamps by Technique Tuesday.
The Brono stamp features a font called Bleeding Cowboy that happens to be one of my favorites on my computer and I use it often. The inks used are Chocolate Chip by Stampin UP! and Walnut Stain Distress ink. It is a simple card that did not take a lot of time. I basically wanted to try out that new stamp. I am very pleased with this stamp and believe that it will serve me well.
The second card took more work as I first inked the entire card base using Distress inks in walnut stain, mustard seed, iced spruce and spiced marmalade. I then dripped water onto the surface and let that dry.
Then I used strip of patterned paper that were left over from another project. I punched a circle near the top and stamped a star (by Stampin UP!) on the inside of the card. The 3/4 circle above the punch is a technique tile by TT and it is inked in mustard seed.Grugeboard serves are the base for my sentiment. The edges are inked in mustard seed and the font is by TT. I watercolored yellow inside the letters.
The rectangle at the bottom is also TT as well as the very cool stamp. I colored the inside with yellow watercolor paint, a gray watercolor pencil and a brown sharpie.
The water droplets on sorry are just that....water. I love the way water reacts with the distress inks. That is my favorite part about them.
these look great Michelle. I can not wait to use the color spritz you made for me. Let me know if you make some more colors. Oh and I LOVE yellow it is my favorite color.
