When the cat's away...

My husband is out of the house for a little while - good thing for me as it gave me time to play with one of my birthday presents!

I'm happy to have these beautiful colors to influence my playtime - thanks Lynn, and Color Throwdown #818 ...


I received this single-layer stencil from a dear friend - thank you, friend!  I immediately wanted to see if I could add depth with just ink... these inks in particular:


Tell me if I achieved my goal ... when I asked my in-house critic, he gave me 
a solid meh.  Having said that, I remembered that all of these colors would
undoubtedly look like green/brown through his eyes.


My hope is that the CTD team will indeed see Orange, Cranberry, and Moss!

Be sure to stop over to the CTD blog - Lynn and her team saw these 
colors in the most amazing ways!

Thanks for stopping by!

    At first I thought it was copper mirrored cardstock reflecting the light. Then I realized it's your amazing shading of the colors giving it a gorgeous glow. I'd say you hit the mark! I love that orange and cranberry. Scrumptious! My Rich doesn't differentiate between hues, tints, tones, or shades. Maybe shades a little. It's not his eyes, it's just him. Poor guy doesn't know what he's missing.

    I didn't even attempt to try these colors, but you nailed it with a win! I can only imagine the poinsettia in traditional Christmas colors! Congrats, my friend!

    And this is why I don't do a lot of stenciling myself - I do not have the ability to create works of art like you do. This is gorgeous!
