Color Fusers Blog Hop for April 2019

By | April 1, 2019

Hello, and welcome to the Color Fusers Monthly Blog Hop! I’m Tami Hewlett, and I’m so glad you could join us today!!! On the first Monday of each month, a group of my fellow demonstrators and I design projects for this blog hop using a different color combination each time. This month’s colors include Mango Melody, Pineapple Punch, Melon Mambo, and Very Vanilla. That sounds like a recipe for a smoothie, doesn’t it? Yummy!

If you’re already following the blog hop, then you’ve just come from the talented Melissa Kerman. To continue on, see the Next button at the bottom of this post, as well as a list of all the blog hop participants.

The bright, cheery colors for this month make me think of Summer!!! I’m so ready! I keep looking at my pool, dreaming of warmer weather and starting my lap routine. It’s about this time of year when I start getting real antsy to dive in and start swimming again. My pool is literally CALLING TO ME! Although, I looked at the temperature the other day, and it’s barely 60 degrees, so I think I’ll wait a little longer:)

I decided to break out a new stamp set that’s perfect for this color combo called Beach Happy.

To create this card, I stamped all the images with Stazon ink on Watercolor Paper. Because Watercolor Paper has a texture, I used my Stamparatus so I could stamp the images multiple times in the same place and assure even coverage. The Stamparatus also helped me perfectly align the two-step stamps for the chair and beach bag.

Next, I watercolored all the images with an Aqua Painter and ink pooled in the lids of my ink pads. I even gave the stamped beach bag a quick wash to slightly blend the colors. Then, I added a wash of Pineapple Punch ink to the background for the appearance of a bright, sunny day.

Whenever I do a color challenge, I start by searching my supplies on-hand for papers and embellishments in coordinating colors. I found some really cute In-Color 2018-2020 Designer Series Paper with Pineapple Punch stripes and coordinating Iridescent Sequins!!! Wahoo!

Be sure to continue through the Color Fusers Blog Hop for more inspiration using this color combination. I can’t wait to see what the other designers have created!!!
