Just Us Girls Color Week #428 Thinking of You


Hello and welcome!  I'm hosting this week's challenge over at Just Us Girls - Color Week - and the colors I chose are:  Turquoise, Berry,  and Kraft


Be sure to stop by the blog here: to see our guest designer, Tenia and the rest of the DT's inspiration for you!

I decided to make a one layer card using the challenge colors.  I took a kraft card base and stamped the top left corner of it with Simon Says Stamp Floral Bliss in Versamark ink and heat embossed it with Ranger Liquid Platinum embossing powder.  Then I turned the card over and stamped it again (with my Misti) and repeated the embossing.

I took my Zig Clean Color watercolor brushes and colored the flowers and I was done!   I really like the look of the coloring on kraft with Zigs - it almost looks like velvet in real life!
Here's another view:



Thanks so much for stoping by and I hope you will join us this week for "Color" week!

    I never thought of using my Zigs on kraft, Angie, so I had to do an experiment right away. They leave you with such vibrant color but you can't use water with them which is okay when you end up with a gorgeous card like this.

    I had no idea the Zigs would work so nicely on kraft. This is so beautiful and stunning in every way. I will have to keep this in mind for future reference now. Gorgeous color choices too!
