The Global Design Project has a fun color challenge this week (GDP 461). The colors are Gorgeous Grape, Lemon-Lime Twist and Basic Black. I decided to play along with the challenge and create some backgrounds using the Packaging Technique along with Gorgeous Grape and Lemon Lime Twist. Instead of rubbing alcohol though, I accidentally ended up using spritzers of water on the two backgrounds I created. I liked the look and was able to create two cards with them.
My first take on this color combo is a Halloween card with the Potions and Spells Bundle. I watercolored the raven, cauldron and cat using Memento Ink refill. I used Lemon-Lime Twist Stampin' Blends to color the cat's eyes and the cauldron handle. For a finishing touch, I added some fine tipped glue on the cauldron and bubbles.
Then, I decided to create a non-Halloween card with the Winterly Treetops Bundle and Changing Leaves embossing folder. I thought it would be fun to use Lemon-Lime Twist Blends to color the birds. Then, I used Gorgeous Grape Watercolor Pencils on the berries and to add some shading to the birds and the branch. I inked up the Changing Leaves embossing folder with Gorgeous Grape before embossing my background.
Which of these cards do you like best?
