Paper Smooches Color Story Challenge February 15-28th!!

Pin It

HELLO CRAFTY FRIENDS!! 

I'm here with Paper Smooches for the NEW February Challenge!! The theme is "Color Story" perfect for ANY Occasion!! I just LOVE these Colors and I personally wouldn't have used these colors on my own, so I LOVE Color Story challenges for that reason alone!! 

These colors made me thing of the Winter Sunset!! I felt like I needed to create a Warm Hugs Card and I LOVE the way it turned out!! 

I Started by Die Cutting the Fab Frames from some White Cardstock!! Next I Die Cut the Sunny Dies from the Panel and then backed it with some Patterned Paper!! I used Distress Oxide Ink in Wild Honey to add some dimension to the Sun and colored the cheeks with a R11 Copic Marker!! I Die Cut the Sun Ring from some White Cardstock and used Wild Honey Distress Oxide Ink to color it making sure to keep it lighter on one side for some Dimension and adhered it to the inside of the Sun Die Cut!! I Die Cut the Face from Black Cardstock and adhered it to the Sun!! I wanted some Gold Foiled Glasses so I Foiled a piece of Therm O Web Toner Sheets with some Gold Static Brutus Monroe Deco Foil and I LOVE the way they turned out!!

 I wanted to create a FUN background from behind the Sun, resembling a Shimmering Sun Set!! I used the Circle Images from the Winter Greetings Stamp Set using a combination of Distress Oxide Inks in Ripe Persimmon, Seedless Preserves and Milled Lavender!! I applied WoW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder to create some dimension and shine!! Then I added some Splatters using the same Ink Colors and some Black Soot Distress Paint Splatters!! I applied some Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink around the Sun Die Cut and it really makes the Sun POP!! For the Sentiment I Stamped the "Warm Hugs" Sentiment with Versa Fine Black Onyx Ink and Embossed it with some WoW Neutral Shimmer Embossing Powder!! I LOVE the Iridescent Shimmer as it ties all of the colors together!! 

Here's how to play along!!
