I did indeed have that playday in my studio yesterday... it didn't take long to find the perfect inspiration!
First up, for Color Hues - they always make reaching for colors easier for me! Julie B. has chosen Lilac and Lime for her combo! Since I just had used my lilacs, I took those colors in a different direction. I love stenciling and this Magnolia Pattern from Pinkfresh was calling my name... I took that in a different direction, too!
Take note of the illustration from the package ... notice that some of the florals and leaves are meant to be left as black on white line drawings? Now take a look at my card on the right - since their stencils didn't color ALL of the florals, I brought out my Copics and finished the job ...
Here are the stenciled florals and inks used:
then, I colored the 'black and white' florals with a few Copics and Ohuhu markers...
Yes, I did add a touch of grey in the background to add to the 'mood.'
After cropping the panel down with a stitched rectangle die, it was mounted on my card base and a simple [Betterpress-ed] sentiment finished my card. Thanks, Julie!
Thank you, Julie!
My friend Bobby has chosen lilac, peach, and GRAY for their color challenge at Just us Girls #725... thank you, Bobby! I couldn't imagine how pretty these colors would be together until I saw what you and your team did with them... then this CAS card happened...
The Stamp Market's Bloomin' Cute die set, and a sentiment from ASD's Tulips Treasure white heat-embossed on grey, cut with an ancient, pierced circle die from MFT that could be one of the first essential sets I ever purchased!
[That woodgrain paper is from Ellen Hutson - no longer available, but I think Altenew has some like it.]
Before you go!!! I have a fun celebration to share tomorrow! Don't forget to come back!! There could be a prize!!! Just sayin'!
