Color Challenge (Challenging!)
My card today is for this week's color challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches challenge blog. And while I love the colors, they proved to be quite challenging for me. I just couldn't make up my mind how to use them.
The challenge colors this week are:
There were quite a few choices - floral, winter/snowflakes... I finally decided upon this image. It's so sweet and lends itself to watercolor (which I love!)
I made a wash of the the Soft Sky and then stamped the dots and foliage over that. The bird was stamped first in the Wisteria Wonder and I used a paintbrush to shade it. I then stamped over it with the Perfect Plum. To finish the card I added a ribbon and sequins.
Here are the supplies I used. (Please use Hostess code 2BQK2KJZ when

Stamps and dies: Petal Palette Bundle

ReplyDeleteFabulous card and attention to detail. Love that you have curved the corner of the card to show the plum cardstock underneath. x
ReplyDeleteThere is lots to love about this card, Jeanne - the superbly colored bird, the softness of the ribbon and bow, the hint of purple peeking from the rounded corner. And I like that we both thought of birds for this challenge! :)
