Friday

Hi guy's, well it's color challenge time PCP. This weekend the host is the awesome, sweet and talented Cassie! Man did she challenge me! I gave it go though and here it is!


I had a hard time with these colors but it was still a lot of fun. They were basic gray, not quite navy, moe mustard with baja breeze as an optional color and ivory or white as neutrals. Mostly I used the gray as you can see, then I layered it with the baja breeze distressed with not quite navy. I used a very small amount of the more mustard but it got lighter than I had meant for it to when I faded it with the night of navy using my aqua brush on my verse panel. I started out trying to combine it with a sketch from the midnight madness sketch challenge but it just didn't end up fitting with the sketch because I didn't want to keep trimming away at my embossed layer and it was to big for any more layers to show behind it. I was afraid if I started over I might not even get it one at all. You win some you lose some but I did get a tank you card out of it which I'm needing a lot of right now! Thanks for looking! Here is the link
