JUGS 237 Color Challenge!


Hello!  Can you believe how fast April is going!  And we (in Western New York) finally have some springlike weather!  Okay, on to business-We have a new challenge for you over at Just Us Girls!
Its a color challenge of  BLUE, ORANGE, AND YOUR CHOICE OF NEUTRAL COLOR.

 I used a clear set of butterflies from Hero Arts.  My background is a new for me technique. I used a honeycomb stencil from Memory box and some texture paste for dimension.  This was really fun to do~like frosting a cake. Once it was dry I used my dye ink pads and a stencil brush . I had imagined shades of peach, but before I knew it I had a coral orange. I'm not really crazy about it, but no time for another sample. I sprayed it with some Sparkle Shimmer Spritz so it's pretty shiny. IRL, that is! Then there are also Stickles applied to the butterfly.
Please click on the link above to go to our blog and see much more inspiration!  Then we hope you will create something of your own in these colors and share it with us.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great weekend!
Cheryl
