Real Red, Tempting Turquoise, So Saffron…I actually wasn’t going to do this color challenge today…the colors are not really “me”. But…I decided to try them out anyway. 🙂 I had this scrap of Daisy D’s plaid paper when I went up to work at my desk and well…it sort of worked so I gave it a whirl. If you’d like to take this color challenge too…follow this link CC138.
High Hellos
I decided the kite stamp from the Lizzie Anne Designs High Hellos stamp set might be fun to try with this color combo. Add that to a chance to try out some more masking from my Thursday’s Challenge and my Copic airbrush system…I had a little fun with it.
To create my image panel..I die cut an oval with my Cuttlebug and my new Spellbinders Nestabilities die and then use the die as a mask to spray my sky. A Copic marker the same color as Tempting Turquoise sprayed it on nicely. I masked the kites with scrap of paper and then colored them in with my markers.
For the layers, I used a scalloped oval of Tempting Turquoise cardstock and underneath, another layer of my Daisy D’s patterned paper. Both of these designs are part of an 8×8 paper pad named Chasing Butterflies. Around the edges of my plaid layer, I added some quick freestyle stitching to imitate the curvey waves of the kite cords. For a quick embellishments, I tied little scraps of ribbon to a tiny safety pin by Creative Impressions and adhered it to the card front.
Wishing you a fabulous day! If you missed all the cool things going on that I listed in my previous post…be sure to scroll down and check them out! 🙂
