High Hellos…a color challenge design

Published by Julia Stainton at 2:12 pm under Card Designs, Challenges, Lizzie Anne Designs

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! :)

    I like it a lot. The kites are great, but the plaid paper takes my eye. Don’t be afraid to use those colors, ever. Great job

    There is no “sort of works” about it… This card is perfect for today’s color challenge. The PP works great with that stamp set, as well! The little safety embellishment is so right for this card. As usual, you inspire me!

    You always amaze me. You took 3 eyeburning colors, and turned them into something wonderful. Please rub some of your talent off on me!
