Hello and Happy Labor Day! Here is a card I made for the color challenge I am hostessing at StampTV this week. I used Autumn Beauty and my digital papers, All About Autumn.
Here is how I made the card...
Stamped the mailbox on Pure Luxury Ivory cardstock and then colored with Copics, starting with N7 in the shadows.
Added N5.
Filled in most of the remainder with N3.
Used my C3 pen on the last little area, then used my blender pen to add some highlights. Used R27 for the flag.
Next, I started on the post, using E57 along the edges and in the shadows.
Then added E33.
Then added E31 and used my blender pen for highlights.
For the foliage, I started with YG05.
Added YG91.
Then I added YG93 for some shadows.
For the flowers I used Y17 and V04. I also used E31 to color the ground. After coloring, I used my Versa Mark pen to cover the entire image, then heat embossed with clear embossing powder.
I used my oval Nestabilities to cut out the image and began sponging Vivid Tuscan Tan ink while still in the die.
Then sponged a very light amount of Vivid Coffee Bean.
I layered with Pure Luxury Chocolate Kiss, SU So Saffron, All About Autumn Digital paper and used a Pure Luxury Ivory cardbase.
Thanks for stopping by. Tomorrow I'll be featuring a project from one of my guest designers, Pam Imholz, and then on Wednesday a special mid-month release preview from Gina K!
Have a great day!
*sigh* This is truly lovely. The colors are so rich and warm. This is the kind of card that makes you just want to snuggle down in a warm blanket and read news from a good friend. Simply gorgeous.
