CD 495 - Kindness Leaves

Welcome to Colour Dare Challenge 495!

We have a monochromatic challenge this week - choose ONE colour and use it with black and white. Gold and silver are free to use. 

I created a background using three shades of blue Distress Oxide inks and then splattered it with a mixture of water and Perfect Pearls to add some shimmer. The sentiment was embossed in white on black. The white frame was adhered to a black frame and the sentiment was bordered the same way. I die cut several leaves and adhered them to the frame before attaching the entire front to the inked background. Clear gems were added for additional shine although they look silver in the photo. 

Come and join us at Colour Dare and show us how you interpret the challenge shown above. 

You have two weeks to link up your project. 

We can’t wait to see what you create! 

Enjoy,

Alyson
