Today's color challenge is Riding Hood Red, Basic Gray & Artichoke. I chose to make a Alcohol ink background for the Santa Collage. Colors used are Red Pepper, Pesto, Slate & Gold. The white highlights were done using a scratch tool to reveal the white core of the glossy paper. I also used a red copic marker to add color to the hats and coats. The edges of the glossy layers were also done with a copic marker. The artichoke layer was stamped with a holly sprig and sponged with Encore Gold ink. The collage is on dimensional foam tape and 7gypsies paper fasteners/riding hood red taffeta finishes it off. Images are all Rubbernecker Stamp Co.
