Nina's Southern Accents: Crafty Challenge Blog Hop Color Challenge

Hey Y'all!

Today the Crafty Collaborators are sharing projects made using a Color Challenge. I really enjoy participating in Color Challenges, lots of times it challenges you to use colors you normally would not use together, like the ones in this hop!

Now I would not pick these colors together, but seeing them, they just scream fall. I can see using them in fall and autumn projects.

I also have been wanting to try the Alcohol Marker technique, and thought these colors would be perfect. To do the technique, color vellum with Stampin' Blends, here I used Bermuda Bay, Cajun Craze, and Cherry Cobbler since there isn't a Merry Merlot blend. Just randomly color swatches of color all over. Then take a paint brush (I just used one of the cheap artist brushes that come in a pack like kids used for painting), dip it in 91% alcohol, and tap it against your finger to splatter droplets over the vellum. Once you've done it all over, use your heat tool to dry the alchol.

I adhered the vellum to a piece of Basic White cut to the same size, then adhered that to a Merry Merlot Cardbase. I used the frame die, and also my Stitched Rectangle Dies to create a frame, and also cropped my sentiment with one of the Rectangle Dies. I stamped the feather image in all 3 colors, and made a ribbon embellishment by cutting that oh so gorgeous Cherry Cobbler and Gold ribbon in strips, adding some of the Simply Elegant Trim.

Thanks for taking time out of your day to stop by, please leave me a comment and let me know how you like these colors in this project.
