This card was created as part of Papertrey Ink’s Anniversary celebration. This challenge was to use dies only- no stamps. I initially thought it would be easy peasy. I have lots of word and background dies. I would just need to figure out which ones to use. Hmmm.... that became the hard part.
I wasn’t sure the colors I was going to use once I decided on my background... I have 24 oxide colors to choose from, and I decoded to stay away from the blue/green combo I usually default to. I grabbed picked raspberry and started blending it in to the one end. Yikes! It was a brighter color than I wanted. Then I switched to worn lipstick on the other end and wasn’t liking the huge swing between the two pink shades. I then added the iced spruce to the middle hoping to balance out the colors. Once I oxidized the card, I was glad I waited... the colors mellowed out and blended together nicely.
Here are the supplies I used:
Stamps:
None
Paper:
Stampers Select White (Papertrey Ink)
Smokey Shadow (PTI)
Brushed Silver (Recollections)
Ink:
Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Picked Raspberry (Blitsy)

Cool look inking the entire die.
