A new Colour Palette

 

Hi There! Happy New Year! Over on the Bee Crafty Facebook Group, Bev is giving us some stunning colour palettes to play around with for inspiration. Thought I would join in the fun AND make some Floral inspiration for the challenge at the same time. Here's how it came together

I began by blending inks across a page in my 5x5 journal. I used Victorian Velvet, Milled lavender and wilted violet Distress inks. 
Next I used a tag inkable to add some Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide ink to the page. 
On a separate piece of card I stamped and cut out the flower from Journaling Essentials #9, colouring it with coloured pencils. 
Using the same stamp set I added more stamping in Monarch and Lilac Bloom Versafine Clair ink.


Finally I added the flower and a couple of wordy Stickers to the page with Matte Medium, along with some faux stitching with the coloured pencil and a white gel pen. 
Here's the finished page again.
I used:
Wordy Stickers - I used 3B
Distress Oxide ink - I used Saltwater Taffy
Distress Inks - I used Wilted Violet, Milled Lavender and Victorian Velvet
Versafine Clair ink - I used Monarch and Lilac Blooms
Matte Medium
Coloured pencils
White gel pen

I have really enjoyed playing with some colours that I wouldn't normally use.  

Thanks for looking!
