I am behind with my post for the CCAYR August mid-month reminder; sorry about that! Here is what I made for the hot/warm colors challenge:
I created my panel by smooshing Candied Apple Distress Oxide ink onto my craft mat, and spraying with water. I then used a small scrap of acetate to pick up the ink and add it to my panel. When I couldn't do that anymore, I just took the watercolor paper to the ink. I kinda thought I had created a bloodbath at first, but I decided to plow ahead anyway. I was much happier with it after I embossed the sentiment, which is a Stamper's Anonymous wood stamp. I finished this off by adhering it to a red panel that is on top of a white card base, and adding some sequins.
