Today's card was inspired by my Stamp Set of the Week ~ Amazing Silhouettes and Sunday Stamps Challenge 299, which happens to be a color challenge. The photo below shows the challenge colors and inspiration photo.
I interpreted these colors as Night of Navy, Rich Razzleberry, Flirty Flamingo, So Saffron and Smoky Slate. Although, I do think Gorgeous Grape could be subbed for the Rich Razzleberry.
I started by using the mask on the card base. I like to use some kind of removable tape to hold down my card base and the mask. For the card base, I doubled over a piece of the tape and placed it behind it to hold it to my grid paper. Then, I placed four pieces of tape around the edges of the mask to keep it from moving. Washi tape works for this, but this time I chose to use this Scotch Delicate Surface Tape we had left over from a painting project. I used a Blending Brush to blend Smoky Slate ink over the card front.
The image was stamped with Versamark, then Heat Embossed with White Embossing Powder. After that, I used Sponge Daubers to add the colors. Keep a microfiber cloth handy to wipe off excess ink between each color.
A fun option is to use the mask again for the inside of the card, keeping it pretty light and fading away completely near the top. This is also a great way to decorate the flap of the envelope. I do recommend going a little darker on the envelope flap.
