Color Combo | Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone, I’m back again for the second time. I’m here joining Papertrey Inks BIG monthly Blog Hop!!!

I’m so excited. I’ve never been on a blog hop before!

I must say it was exciting to create a card in a matter of minutes for the world to see. Ok, so it took me more than a minute, I started making this card an hour and a half ago. But the results are amazing, to me at least.

The challenge was to use two colors: Aqua and Melon!!!

That should be easy, right, wrong!!

I had a Aqua Mist ink pad but I didn’t have any melon color. No ink, paper, embellishments, nothing.

How was I going to participate if I didn’t have melon. I started to fret. I knew the colors for a little while but I procrastinated on buying the melon ink that I needed.

So what is a girl to do????

Ding, Ding, Ding…..the bells went off in my head. Water-coloring is my favorite so why not create the color yourself!!! OMG, I can create the melon color that I need. That is what I did!!

So this is what I came up with first. It looks so close but it was too light so I decided to go at it again.

Much better!! I love how it turned out. I feel like a true artist now, LOL!! I used my Winsor & Newton Water Colours! The colors that I mixed were Burnt Sienna, White and Alizarin Crimson, respectfully.

I took my time and mixed one color at a time, cleaning my brush in between. When it was to red I added Burnt Sienna and when it was to white I added a little red until I got the color you see above.

I was jumping up and down because I can participate in the hop!

So enough with the long talking, here is the card I came up with!

What do you think? Does my butterfly past the Aqua and Melon test? I love WATER-COLORING!!!!

For the butterfly, I attached the out butterfly to the body using foam adhesive so that the wings would stand out.

For the card base, I just sponged the edges with the Aqua Mist and then I used my mini ink blender tool and bought the softer color towards the center.

I stamped the sentiment and Wala!! My card is complete.

I’m back again with two more challenges. I love all of these challenges. They allow me to put my creative hat 0n more often. I’m having a lot of fun.

Today’s challenges are Virginia’s View Challenge #2 Stencil and Hand Stamped Sentiment. Yes, stenciling with Gumball Green, Crushed Curry and Coastal Cabana. I love working with stencils since my Online Card Class.

When I got home today, I had a couple of boxes of craft stuff waiting for me. My “Make a Wish” stamp set from Mama Elephant and my “Hexagon Hive Thinlits Die” from Stampin Up were amongst my new stuff. I knew I wanted to use both of these products.

Take a look:

I used my blending tool and added each of my colors in a circular motion to make sure to completely cover my stencil. Take a look at my finished card.

After lifting the stencil, I added my sentiment and the stars to the one layer card. I love the way my card came out. The actually stencil, came out just a nice. I will add that to another card and share it with you.

Please let me know what you think, I would love to hear what you think of my card.
