I love the colors from the Create with Connie and Mary this week, although I do have to confess that River Rock has never been one of my favorite colors. In fact, I don't even own any cardstock in that color. I found a some designer paper that was part of a chistmas pack from a couple of years ago that had River Rock as one of the colors. I decided to combine the color challenge with the sketch challenge from The Paper Players. To make the U pop, I inked it up with River Rock and then used the kissing technique by touching a stamp inked with Night of Navy directly onto the inked up U, then stamped the whole thing onto white cardstock. This is a fun technique that I need to try a little more. Here are the supplies I used....
Stamps: All About U, Perfect Words
Ink: Night of Navy, Lucky Limeade, River Rock
Paper: Same as above plus Navy DP, River Rock DP
Accessories: Lots of Tags die, chistmas ribbon pack, half pearls
Thanks for taking a peek!

ReplyDeleteRiver Rock is one of those odd colors that really does work. (Okay...I call it the 'runny baby poop color because that is what it reminds me of!) But you REALLY 'ROCKED; it! LOL!!! Thanks for joining us this week for the Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge!
