Here is my entry for Makeesha's colour challenge this week. (After a few arguments with the computer it is finally loaded!)
Unfortunately, I didn't have inkpads or markers in any of these colours, so I felt the need to experiment! For the circle stamped images I have used the "poppin' pastels" method, ie, stamped the image in versamark ink & then applied pastels (chalks) using a sponge tip applicator. Using my stamp positioner I restamped the image in versamark & clear embossed to get a shiny raised image. I then used an eraser to remove the excess "chalk dust".
To get the curved ends on the coloured strips I cut them slightly narrower than 1.3/4" & then slid an end of the strip into the circular opening of the 1.3/4" punch & punched off the end.
The images on the colour strips were stamped using versamark ink.
The circle mounts & image circles are all raised on dimensionals.
