I had a great week of vacation in Missouri with family, but today it was a return to reality with unpacking, laundry, and all of that fun post-vacation stuff. I finally had a little time to create in my studio before the end of the day, so I decided to try the Embellish Magazine color challenge with Ric Rac.
I started by seeing what color of ric rac I had in my stash, and this orange velvet ric rac was the only one I had in this color palette, so that is where I started my design. I found this Doodlebug DP that matched the Ric Rac (the base piece is velvet flocked to go with my velvet ric rac) and a scrap of turquoise paper from Basic Grey to go with the Brown & Kraft cardstock. I used this week's CPS sketch.
I stamped the Inkadinkado Jailbird Halloween in Dark Brown ink on the turquoise DP and again on a piece of orange DP. I paper pieced the birds and quickly put the design together. My orange is a titch more vibrant than the color palette sample, but I think it works with this shade of turquoise.
Here's another favorite photo from our trip that also features some vibrant orange.
Enjoy the week!
