A new colour challenge is now up on the Kreative Koncepts blog, and hope you are able to play along.
This is it:
Yes, it is quite challenging (well, for me it was).
And this is what I came up with:
The background was cut with my Silhouette, then glued to another piece of white cardstock. I then applied a patchy layer of gesso on the front and back, before dry-brushing some yellow acrylic paint. Once dry, I dropped a few dollops of blue Ecoline paint on, sprayed with water to get it moving around before applying my stamping and splatters. I sprayed some of my embellishments with either Dylusions (cut grass) or Glimmer Mist (sapphire). It was quite a simple and quick layout for me, but time is of the essence at the moment, so had to par down my layers. Still, I think because the colours are so bold, it works for me.
Here are some close-ups:

Hi Zeneva, I've come via Lizzy's blog and I'm looking at your beautiful bold colored layout. Thank you for also explaining how you did it. I'm still new to mixed media and 'doing messy'. But I'm learning thanks to bloggers like you. I love the background you did on your Silhouette. Stunning!
ReplyDeleteLove your page ! Fabulous textured background. These are tricky colours to work with ; I always seem to have a problem with purple haha, may be because it's my least favourite colour, but love what you've done with it, perfect.
