Today's Blogger's Challenge was to use Spectrum-style ink pads on our project. The one I reached for is an old Ranger rainbow pigment ink pad I bought years ago. The colors are SO bright, I rarely use it. But, it's still nice and juicy and worked great for this project.
I used a couple of Memory Box stamps, and a sentiment by A Muse, to create this card. As you might have guessed, I stamped the sun-like image in inks from the rainbow pad. I only used the bright pink and bright yellow colors when I inked the stamp. The other colors on the pad are a BRIGHT blue and BRIGHT green - not really what I was goin' for on this card.
The penguin is stamped on watercolor paper, colored with markers, cut out, and adhered to the card with dimensionals. This card came together really quickly once I convinced myself to use the rainbow ink pad. *blech*
Be sure to check out the other Blogger's Challenge posts for the day too! There's a list over on the right of all the challenge participants.
Hope you all had a wonderful Friday night - YAHOO! It's the weekend!!
Love the color of the spectrum pad you used. Great card, love it!
