I couldn't think of anything relevant to illustrate the word "Ignorance" or the quote I have chosen for the Craft Barn challenge, so I indulged myself by using my favourite colours of Neocolors and my latest embossing folder, as yet unused.
I first scribbled the Neocolors on the card then softened with lightly wet brush.
With the card dry to the touch, but still damp, I embossed it with a TH folder and a Cuttlebug border folder.
When completely dry I rubbed the Neocolors on the raised areas.
The quote is handwritten on a die-cut label (Spellbinders), edged with silver gel pen the only embellishment I allowed in order to show as much of the background as possible.
I am also entering the Country View Crafts - Word play and Ladybug Crafts - Favourite colours challenges.
Thanks for coming by,
Beautiful colours and textures here, you have lovely handwriting. A fabulous quote:-) xxx

Wow. Impressive background. I can see why you wouldn't want to cover over it with other embellishments. This is beautiful and I now want some of those Neocolors.
ReplyDeleteUne jolie créa, les couleurs sont super jolies aussi! J'aime beaucoup ton classeur d'embossage.. J'en ai pas mal de mon côté, mais je ne trouve jamais le temps de les utiliser, ou plus exactement j'oublie de le faire, sans doute la contrainte e tout sortir ! Bises, à début Septembre..
ReplyDeleteGood choice, it is a favourite folder of mine too, Great colours, definitely doe not want to be hidden. Love that quote too.
ReplyDeleteI love the colours they look really vibrant and a great colour combo :)
