All About Color!

Lisa our Bloggers Challenge leader has challenged us with three colors for this week!  The shades used are up to our own interpretation, so I used various shades of purples, plums and greens.  My color challenge piece is also going to visit Fashionable Stamping Challenges for their first challenge of "Anything Goes."

I embossed the Stampin up image in brown and then used chalks to color in the flower and leaves.  Once I like the color, I did a light spray with matte sealer.  I also highlighted the embossed background paper. The idea for the flower came while visiting Sherry's Blog and she has a tutorial link. You should go look at her flower, because it is really lovely.  I used some brown and white fabric netting.  The white was sprayed with Glimmer Mist Huckleberry to give it a purple color.  I kind of made up my own rules for the flower.  After I die cut four of each color, I folded in half, and in half again and then took the little end on the right and folder it over.  I then twisted the bottom edge away from me and added Glossy Accents on the points and laid each section on the flat side to dry. Once dried, they were glued down to a grungepaper circle.

For Pink Saturday, I am sharing a watering can that I had painted years ago in a class.  My Mom and me took this class together, so it holds some special memories for me.
 
Have a most wonderful weekend and as always, thank you for taking the time to stop by and visit.
