Color Challenge Week With Frosted Pinecones
It’s Thursday Challenge time at Create With Stamping Friends and this week we have a color challenge. What would you create with these 3 colors? Oh and we can add any neutrals too!
The pinecone image from the Frosted Pinecones Bundle is huge! So huge and so easy to color with coordinating masks that you can use with Sponge Daubers or Blending Brushes.
There are 5 masks total and I wanted to leave a lot of white space on my pinecones so I opted to use only 3 of the masks. Why? Because I can do that!
