First Challenge

 

Today is our very first challenge at stilladdINKtive. Yay !

Bronwyn has put so much time and effort in behind the scenes to get our new challenge blog up and running. She has done a wonderful job! Thank You Bron. Please take a look and we’d love it if you’d play along with us too.

Each first and third week of the month we will have a sketch and colour challenge for you.  The stilladdINKtive team will be combining them and you can do that too or you can choose just to do the sketch or you may prefer just to take inspiration from our colours.  It’s up to you.

Here is our first challenge :

I used some of my most favourite sets on this card plus a new one which is coming out very soon in the sale-a-bration catalogue.

 

Ingredients :

Stamps : en francais, field flowers, kindness matters, pretty petites

Card : crumb cake, plum, vanilla, white, watercolour, shimmer white

Ink : baja, wasabi, plum, stazon, crumb cake

Other : petite curly label punch

 

I used watercolour paper for the butterflies. I used a blender pen with baja and plum ink on the larger one but with the small one I decided to try using plum reinker with an aqua painter instead.  And Wow what a difference in colour.  So it is still plum as the flowers and other butterfly are but it is just so much darker.  Anyway I liked the contrast of it.  It’s great using the watercolour paper with the butterflies because you can lift their wings up really high without damaging them at all.
