There is a new colour challenge at Gingersnap Creations - to use copper, ginger or rust in a piece of art. This is the same colour challenge they used to launch their challenge blog a year ago. I wasn't blogging then, but this is my entry - although I am not sure if it needs something else as well?I coloured a circle chip with black dabber paint, added some terra paste to which I added copper dabber paint, and found (using more leftovers - that's twice this week!) a piece of cuttlebugged copper which I trimmed to fit the circle, and scooched round the edge with a TSS wheel.
I tried to age it a bit with some paint, but it hasn't worked too well. I stamped the Wendy Vecchi message on a scrap of card and stuck it to the chip. Finally I found a small dragonfly which I painted black and copper, but it didn't show up very well, so I coverd it with versamagic ink and some rust perfect pearl powder.
AND Liverpool won tonight too. Now its bedtime - and tomorrow's Friday, yippee nearly the weekend!!
