I had some very quiet time over the weekend. Got some coloring done.
Supplies: Stamp – My Favorite Things, paper – Neenah Classic Crest Solar White, Strathmore Bristol, inks – Copic, VersaFine Onyx Black, ZIG Clean Color Real Brush Pens, embossing powder – Filigree Fine Art Powder clear.
I finished the paperwork I was working on for the in-laws early in the week, and even found time to stamp and color a few things before other chores took over (making a birthday cake, cleaning the house).
I am hoping that a few fun size bags of M&Ms will lure my mojo to the craft table this afternoon!
Have a great Friday!

I wanted a blended background behind this die, and I found a “night sky” in my completed pieces folder.

My colors were inspired by last week’s Color Throwdown Challenge #562.
I didn’t realize until I was finished blending the inks that I had played along with the challenge (I had the above graphic printed & sitting on my craft table), and by then I had missed the deadline.

OK, YES, the blending brushes still have my attention! This time, the base for the blending was Bristol card stock.
I colored the image with Copic markers, then let those colors dictate the colors for the background blend. From the bottom: Tumbled Glass, Peacock Feathers, Mermaid Lagoon, Salty Ocean, Wilted Violet.
