CASE-ing Sarah Gray

Time Out Challenges have an interesting challenge on their blog at the moment to CASE one of their past DT Sarah Gray who now by the sound of it owns her own Stamp Company funky fossil in the UK.

We were given one of Sarah's cards as our photo inspiration. I really liked the big splat so thought I'd have a play. I found a stencil in my stash which helped me keep my Color Burst powders and Mysticals sprays under control. I found a few arty things amongst my AALL and Create stamps and this is what I came up with. I thought Sarah's splats reminded me of Sweet Mustard and brownish purple but I had nothing really like that but worked in similar but brighter shades, looking at the inspiration picture as I type my blog post I'm trying to work out how to add a tad of blue as I missed that detail when I glanced at the photo. Below is where I was before I thought there's blue in the inspiration.

Well it was really easy to add a tad of blue. I should have allowed it to dry naturally as it's a bit splodgy where I dabbed it to dry but it makes a huge difference adding the blue IMO to the overall balance of the colours.

AALL and Create stamps: Spread Your Wings #729, Power of the Word #754, Art Notes #906

Well that was a really fun challenge I always like it when my desk looks like a craftastrophe as it means I've been having fun.

EDITED 22/2/24: I was chosen as the winner at Time out Challenges of this challenge which I'm not sure why but I am totally amazed that I could win a non-CAS challenge.
