Can you believe that Autumn is well and truly here? The months are simply flying past and it's time for another round of Colour Focus. This month's inspiration comes from a Japanese Tamaya Kosei tea ceremony bowl that cost $1000.
As usual, the Froglets rose to the challenge and came up with some fabulous creations.
Anthea used stamps from It's All About Elegance and Round in Circles to create a LO. Forget the inks, pull out those paints and create a unique background with them. Another tip she offers, stamp a design in ink, then stamp over it with clear embossing powder. It adds a lovely shine to the design and a bit of lift to the LO.
Emeline created a very lovely tag. She was inspired by the colours and mimic it by using alcohol inks on a transparency as a background. She also heat embossed on the stamped images from Starburst.
Julie came up with a wonderful Ruby Wedding Anniversary card for her parents. She used the cake stand from That Takes the Cake and added layers of hearts from Classic Wedding stamp set. She stamped her images with a Versamark watermark pad and used red and black heat embossing powders to reflect the glazes on the tea bowl.
Hannah created a glittery card using It's All About Arrow and Steelfish stamp set.
Here's a closer view of it:
Finally, Michelle wowed us with this LO. She sprayed the background paper with gold cosmic shimmer then stamped it with a pattern using round in circles and the stars from Retro Space with white StazOn. The rockets were stamped, embossed, coloured and cut out using the Retro Space stamp set. The title was created using Steelfish Outline, stamped with Brilliance ink and coloured in. The other title using Budmo Jiggler stamp set was embossed in red with the dots coloured in.
Here's a closeup view of it:
The gals have certainly taken inspiration from the unusual colours of the bowl and tried to re-create similar effect on their creations. Alongside with it has been the creative use of Banana Frog stamps too. Do show us what you have done with yours and don't forget to upload it to our Flickr group. Happy stamping!
