I made two cards during Ryan's quiet time yesterday, one of them with brand new stamps (and colors) and the other one with stuff I've had for a while. But since there's a color challenge that's about to expire, I'm sharing this one first:
I don't think I'd done this rose in Real Red before and it looks really stunning IRL. To get the color variation, I inked up the "filler" stamp using a sponge rather than tapping the stamp on the ink pad. The darker stamp is just inked up as normal, but that gave me a nice range of color using just one ink pad. Well okay, I used black for the outline ;)
Here's the Paper Players color challenge:
I had a particular stamp set I wanted to use yesterday and this color challenge didn't work with it, but while I was working on that other card the idea for this bright red rose popped in my head and I had to get it out on paper as well. I'll be sharing the other card soon ;)

A simple design but so effective Christy - the dimension with the inky layers on the flower make this a great choice for your design. Thanks for playing along with our colour challenge over at The Paper Players this week - I hope Ryan is feeling better soon!
ReplyDeleteLove your rose, Christy - and Real Red seems right for a rose, doesn't it?! And thanks for the tip on getting the color variation - hadn't thought of doing that with the daubers!! Thanks for sharing your project with us this week at The Paper Players! :)
