Happy Saturday, I hope the sun is shining were you are!
Excited today to be guesting at the Color Hues Coloring Challenge #17!
These colours are traditionally bright and bold but you are welcome to use any hues of these colours on your card that you like. I chose to go bright and bold for my card and created a background using the graphic stencils from the April My Monthly Hero Kit. I used Catherine Pooler Inks in Rocket Red and Orange Twist with black as a neutral colour.
The first layer was done using blended using Rocket Red ink on to a white background. Then I cleaned off the stencil turned it a quarter turn to the left and created my second layer with Orange Twist ink. I trimmed the panel down to 5 1/4" x 4" and mounted it with foam tape to a white top folding card base.
The sentiment is from the kit and it was white embossed on black cardstock. Then I stamped and clear embossed three dragonflies, also from the kit, with VersaFine Onyx Black ink on to vellum. The dragonflies were die cut with the coordinating dies.
To finish out the card I added the sentiment with foam tape and then I cut a thin strips of foam tape and added those to the back of the body of each dragonfly.
Now it's your turn!
What are you going to do with these colours?
I can't wait to see your work in the gallery.
Thanks for stopping in today and have a wonderful weekend!
