Our Colour Dare Challenge for #454 is an inspiration photo of this gorgeous bird, you are free to use Black and White with at least three of the colours of the bird. When you are creating for more than one challenge please make sure your project meets our requirement. Most importantly - have fun! Go to the link for Colour Dare #454 and add your entry. When you submit your entry you must provide a link to your post, not just to your blog in general. There are LOTS of ways to enter either a Blog Post or post to an online gallery (Facebook, Pinterest, SplitCoast Stampers, or Instagram).
I decided I wanted to recreated the look of the bird so I pulled out my distress oxide inks. Abandoned Coral Distress Oxide™ Ink Pad, Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide™ Ink Pad, Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide™ Ink Pad, Seedless Preserves Distress Oxide™ Ink Pad & Peacock Feathers Distress™ Oxide Ink Pad. I blended them together with my Mini Ink Blending tools.
I thought the inks looked like the bird.
After I had blended them on White Daisy Cardstock I sprinkled water onto the ink to get the spots.
Then I used my heat gun tool to dry it completly before running it through the BigShot with the new and gorgeous Butterfly Background Thin Cuts.
I stamped the sentiment from the Wander—Cardmaking & thin cut set with Black Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad on White Daisy Cardstock.
Then I cut another butterfly background thin cut with White Daisy Cardstock.
