Play Date Cafe - Challenge 41 - brick red, yellow ochre and off white

This week's colours at the Play Date Cafe are a bit of a challenge in more ways than one!  They were inspired by this picture of Italy - somewhere I've never been (I am not widely travelled, unfortunately!)

I was originally thinking of a different stamp altogether (maybe Ill do that one later!) but when I went to take it out of it's drawer, I found this one by Toybox (no idea what it's called, it doesn't say on the stamp) instead.

I used Colorbox chalk ink in amber clay, on white cardstock, mounted it on a piece of black card which I spritzed with a red pearly reinker mix though there isn't enough of it to show here, I don't think, and layered that on my off white card (the box of cream cards was right at the bottom of the stack of my boxes of card stock...I had to move 5 boxes -  aren't they always at the bottom!)

I used a couple of prima flowers in brick red and the cream one which is pre-printed with the "angel" definition for accents and stamped the Wendy text at the bottom.

I really like this stamp, and the colour of ink reminds me of sandstone, which seemed kind of right for statues and the challenge. You may not be Dr Who fans (not sure if it's made it to the States, actually, for the internationals among you) but a couple of years ago there was a great (scary!) episode called  "Blink" where these Stone Angels came to life - and the images on this stamp remind me so much of them!! I Googled it for a pic -see what you think. Course, they're not a nice warm yellowy colour, but in my mind they remind me of the Stone Angels!    Ok, it's just me then!
