I struggled a bit with the newest prompt at Jingle Belles - "primarily feature the color red." I'm not sure why, but nothing inspired me until I watched someone sponge two colors onto a piece of foiled designer series paper. I used one color, a different piece of paper, and a brayer instead of a sponge, but it was definitely the inspiration I needed:
stamp set - Brightest Glow; ink - Really Red, Versamark; Stampin' Emboss powder - Gold; designer series paper - Most Adored (Sale-A-Bration); card stock - Real Red; Stampin' Cut dies: Thoughtful Expressions
I can't decide whether I wish I'd worked harder to get the background color more even, or if I like the variegated look better - I stopped with a variegated look, so let's say that's my preferred look. Either way, I really enjoyed the process with the newest Stampin' brayer! I have both the softer rubber brayer and the sponge brayers we used to offer, but this one was much easier to work with.
OOOOOOH! That is a very cool technique and you've done it brilliantly. (For the record I love the varied background color!) So happy you could join our celebration of RED at Jingle Belles! ♥
ReplyDeleteI think the variation in the reds in your background is perfection ... so fabulous with the gold foil ... so very glad you found your RED inspiration at shared it with us at Jingle Belles.
