Color Inspiration, Weekend Sketch and More New Stamps

Hi again all!

Back again very quickly to share my creation for Color Inspiration and the Weekend Sketch Challenge. I changed the panels on the weekend sketch, simply because it worked better for me. I liked the colors Kristina chose. I had a hard time figuring out how to incorporate the olive, though. That's why I only used a small piece of it. I also wanted to try my hand at some bleaching techniques that I'd seen done lately as well. For the piece on the left with the sentiment, I sprayed a piece of Ruby Red card stock lightly with a mist of bleach and let that dry. Then I sprayed the paper with water and crumpled it up. I straightened the paper and pressed basic brown, and Ruby Red ink pads over the paper and let the paper dry. Finally I sponged some Old Olive ink around the top and bottom edges. I inked the sentiment from "Echoes of Kindness" in black ink in the center. For the panel on the right I took another stamp from the same set and simply stamped it in bleach on to the paper. The rest is fairly straightforward, so I won't bore you with all the details. So, that's all for my creativity today...I'm off to start prepping my GH chatter post.
