Good evening! I have a card for the color challenge at Splicoaststampers that I made for my youngest daughter. She had a rough week at work last week so I thought she could use a hug. I hope this easel card will remind her that she can always count on mom!
I had just received my rather large order from Lawn Fawn and decided that this large sentiment die could be used with any color combo. I was unsure how to work in the Mango Melody so I used it in conjunction with Cinnamon Cider Stampin' Blends to come up with the brown for the fox. Neutrals are allowed in the challenge. And if technically the Cinnamon isn't a neutral then I'll use that for my dessert - Karen gave us "anything goes" for our dessert option! It's like cheating with permission!
I was very excited to get this order. I love all things Stampin' Up and I am a demo, but Lawn Fawn is one company whose designs really appeal to me. I love all things cute and these are definitely cute and fun to color too! Most of their images are not large so coloring goes quickly and gives good results. When I want to color something intricate I usually turn to Stampin Bella.
I ink blended the background then cut the sentiment. To inlay the sentiment back into the card, I cut it again from Coastal Cabana cardstock. I glued the main blended panel down to the card front and added the Coastal Cabana sentiment. Then I glued down all the small inside pieces. From there I stacked three more sentiments cut from the CC and topped it with my blended sentiment. It wasn't difficult but it was time consuming!
