The Color Challenge …Teal, Artichoke & Pomegranate

Published by Julia Stainton at 1:49 pm under Card Designs, Challenges

What a fun color challenge! I just couldn’t’ resist! I love these fun funky colors together. I just had to use my new Copic Markers and try them out. I’m thinking I’m going to be needing a little more practice but it was fun for a first try!
Topiary High Hellos

For this design, I started with the image and colored the two trees with my new Copics. I knew right away, I wanted to add little bows to my design with my May Arts ribbon to make them fun. I just love how darling this new High Hellos stamp set from Lizzie Anne Designs is. So great for so many occasions.

The image and coloring seemed to call for a clean design so I just used cardstock and almost no sponging. The main Artichoke layer is stamped with a darling little flower from the Designer Dots set, also from Lizzie Anne Designs. Very difficult to see in the photo but pretty in real life.

To add my little sentiment, I stamped it on a retired SU tag, set an eyelet in it with my Crop-a-dile and then tied it with some more May Arts ribbon. I was tickled to find that it matched the teal/artichoke color combo perfectly.

    Love these topiaries — great job with the coloring, too! The Copics ARE a bit difficult to get used to, aren’t they?

    Hey there, Julia….I do love the design you used for this challenge. I also love how you used the teal as your base and let the other color’s supplement it….makes for a much ‘brighter’, ‘happier’ look…just my less than 2 cents worth! But you are so creative, I think you could find a way to make a Black and Brown card look ‘happy’! As usual, great work! Hugs, Barb g
