Just Add Ink #68 A colour Challenge........

Well it's back to reality and time for a new JAI challenge, this week is a colour challenge provided by the lovely Tania Gould .


                                   These colours are such a lovely soft combination to play with.





  Here is a close up of the emboss resist technique used on the butterfly and side panel, hopefully it will show the colours a little better. 





                                                     And the last pic is one of the inside........



This is the same technique l used on last weeks card, but as you can see the results are very different when used with colours, rather than the Crumbcake to achieve an antique look.
I hope you are inspired to have a go at this technique and hopefully you will find time to play along with the challenge.....Here is the link to check out the fantastic samples the rest of the design team came up with..JAI

  3. Oh, this is gorgeous!! I thought at first you HAD used the Presto Patterns paper .... should've known you are cleverer and more resourceful than that, shouldn't I?! Gorgeous sponging; love how you use this technique, and it is soooooooo beautiful in these colours.

  4. I thought the same as Christine as I've been itching to do a butterfly with the Presto Pattern Papers but you went to greater lengths for your lovely emboss resist technique. You're really showing off now with the inside of your card - just gorgeous.
