Color Dare #93--Honey, Cranberry, Juniper, Twilight With Watercoloring

Welcome back to another Color My Heart Color Dare challenge post!  This week we are daring you to combine all four of these Close To My Heart colors in your project.  (Of course close color substitutions are allowed if you don't have the assigned colors).

Since I recently enrolled in the Online Card Classes Watercoloring class my card reflects that.  The top banner was made by clear embossing the floral stamp from In the Background onto watercolor paper.  Then I used a narrow acrylic block pressed into the inkpad and then spritzed with water to stamp on the paper.  I did this several times with all the challenge colors and I like how it came out.

Close To My Heart products used:

    Cranberry CS

    Black CS

    Twilight CS

    Honey Ink

   Cranberry Ink

   Juniper Ink

   Twilight Ink

   1 x 4 acrylic block

   Enjoy the Little things stamp set (Hostess only set)

   In the Background Stamps

   3D Foam Tape

   Clear Embossing Powder (retired)

   

Other:

   Watercolor paper by Faber Castell

   Versamark Ink

   Prismacolor pencil
