As of today I am on vacation...I have been going like gang busters for the last month straight and I can finally catch my breath...so what better place to do that than on the beautiful sandy sunny beach???
However, I am THINKING AHEAD and have set up my blog to show some CHA samples I created last month. The powers that be at Tsukineko needed some Versafine samples again for CHA and asked if I would be interested....I thought, "UMM INTERESTED??? SURE THING!" lol Well, they are releasing two new ink colors at CHA and asked that I use them as the prominent colors for the projects. Again I thought "Sure no problem!" When the colors arrived I about had a heart attack!!! The one color "Habanero" sounds just like it's name!!! HOT ORANGEY RED....at first I was a bit freaked out! LOL But once I stamped with it I was IN LOVE!!!! Well the other color "Toffee" is aptly named as it looks EXACTLY like toffee candy!!! Well so then came the tough part...PAIRING THESE COLORS TOGETHER EFFECTIVELY....so I decided to go to my fav color spot - The Color Scheme Generator. Bookmark it baby, it is a great site! Anyway I found a palette I liked and then shot from the hip...Oh and did I mention that Tsukineko also wanted a "Bird Theme"... LOL Well needless to say, I was able to get these projects done....in a day and a half! ....it was a tight deadline but I was on my way to Florida two days after the inks arrived so I KNEW I had to get it all done and sent in just a day and a half! Anyway, no more chit chat...here is my card that I created to show my color palette...the rest of the projects over the next few days will be the rest of what I came up with for this show....
