Evening all!
This weeks Colour INKspiration challenge colours are from Cathy and they are just dreamy!
I recently purchased the "Sea Turtle" stamps and thought l would give them a go with these colours. I used a combination of blending brushes and daubers to add the inks, trying to create a lifelike colour.
Earlier this year l had the opportunity to swim with these beautiful creatures and it was definitely a bucket list moment. To be able to walk directly off the beach and have them swim around you was just breathtaking and l cant wait to do it again.
To create the background, l inked up an acrylic block with Balmy Blue, spritzed with water and stamped directly to cardstock...Such a fun way to add colour without harsh lines.
To finish off l went with a simple Linen Thread knot and added some of the sweet Loose Silver Sequins to emulate some bubbles and diluted some of the inks and white for a speckled effect on the turtle.
I decided not to add a greeting to this one, as l'm not sure for what occasion l will use it, but it can easily be added at a later time.
This is STUNNING Nikki!
