Color challenges with striking combinations are plentiful and I found one that really interested me - blue, purple, silver and white. The layout was inspired by a sketch challenge and I used a Valentine theme, turning the silver embossed Ferris Wheel cars from cupcakes into clear embossed hearts.
The Ferris Wheel was stamped on white cardstock with Versamark ink and heat embossed in silver. The silver embossing shows off the intricacy of the Ferris Wheel but does not appear shiny in the photos although it has two coats of silver powder.
On a scrap of white cardstock, Versamark ink was applied and heat embossed with a layer of purple powder and a second layer of clear powder. The cars on the wheel are images of cupcakes but I covered them with hearts punched from the purple embossed paper. The hearts were backed with foam tape and adhered. On a panel of blue, the moon and stars were heat embossed in silver and the scroll in purple.
A scrap of white was heat embossed with a mix of silver and purple powder and adhered to the right edge of the blue panel. The blue panel was adhered to a white card base. The silver embossed Ferris Wheel was adhered to the card with foam tape. A sentiment was heat embossed in purple on vellum and added to the center. The inside of the card was stamped with "to the Moon" and decorated with a silver embossed image of a carousel horse.
