Hi everyone,
It's Monday and that means a new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week it's all about Monochrome. Pick one color and make your project with that color.
My favorite color is turquoise, aqua, mint green. I'm aware that they are actually different colors, but very often it's a matter of interpretation which color is which and I love them all. I've therefore made a mix of these colors, as they are almost the same. In addition, I used a lot of black to apply contrast and shadow.
The first step was applying Vibrant Turquoise Dylusions Paint with a baby wipe to create my background. With Peacock Feathers and the Simon Says Stamp Diamond Circles stencil I added more depth to it.
The Trellis Framework (thanks Marzena!) die I've applied also with a layer Vibrant Turquoise Dylusions Paint, followed by a layer of Opal Magic Blue-Gold Alchemy Paint. While the paint was stil a bit wet I've also applied some Mint Perfect Pearlso give it even more shimmer.
The Layered Dragonfly (again, thanks Marzena!) also got a layer of Vibrant Turquoise Dylusions Paint. To accentuate the embossed portions I went over it with Jet Black Archival Ink. But to give it even more dimension and some shimmer, I've then given a layer of Opal Magic Blue-Gold Alchemy Paint and once again went over it with Jet Black Archival Ink.
