Add Depth with Colors!

Hello friends!

For the January Show and Share, please check back later today at 9pm EST for your entries and details!



Today's my turn to share a project with you over Altenew Card Blog.
Have you checked out the current January 2020 inspiration challenge? The color combo is really out of my norm as I don't use purple enough. Today's card is loosely based on the current January Inspiration Challenge colors.

I am excited to host January 2020 inspiration challenge! I love my neighborhood and surroundings where we have a wonderful wooded backyard and gardens. This month's inspiration photo was taken right from my front yard in the late Fall.  I adore the deep rich color combo of the berries and greens. I love using our Build-a-flower sets for various color combo. This latest Triumph Tulips is perfect for this challenge.

 I enjoy building a floral scene and always start with stamping the background.  Since the tulip is large in size, I stamped the leaves with  various green such as Hunter Green and Frayed Leaf.

For the Tulip, I used Crimson as my darkest shade and gradually added the depth with each color-layering.

Ding---> TIP: To build up the layers of colors, start with background (add a tint of color), stamp image with various of shade of colors. Masking is also is a great way to create depth. To add dimensions, pop up a few pieces on top of the stamped images. You now have many layers of colors without adding lots of bulk! 

I love the small leaves and branches that come with this Triumph Tulip set. To add the dimensions, I popped with the small floral branch (stamped in Grape Agate).

 The Enamel Dots and Forest Glades Metallic Ink Spray came in handy when adding details and interest. I hope that you love this deep and rich color combo. I would never think to use these colors together. The wonders of Nature never cease to amaze me.

 I hope that you will take on this challenge and create something rich and colorful.
