BLOGGERS CHALLENGE - GREEN, PURPLE, BROWN


Hi Everyone! Today is Bloggers Challenge and this week, we have a Color Challenge! Our colors this week are Green, Purple and Brown!


I was so excited to use my new Sizzix Embossing Folder called Flourish and Flowers. I decided rather than color an image, I would paint the background. For my project I used Creative Inspiration Paints. I started with a Citrus and Evergreen for the leaves....the floral portion I painted Light Purple and Royal Purple. I used Chocolate for the center of the flowers and for a bud...


Here are a few more details:
Stamps: Sense of Wonder from DRS Designs
Cardstock: White, Espresso, Wisteria Wonder
Accessories: Creative Inspiration Paints, Sizzix Embossing Folder called Flourish and Flowers, Aqua Painter, Viva Pearl Pen- Chocolate, Gingham Ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon
