Hi folks! Just barely squeezing this one in on time (as usual)! Today's card is for the challenge over at colourQ. I've been turning this one over in my mind all week and finally had a chance to do something with it. I paired it up with the Fall-to-Layout #103 at clean&simple.
I used my colored pencils again to color the dahlia image, so it leaves the flower looking more pink than Cherry Cobbler. The leaves are as close to Wild Wasabi as I could get. I'm happy with the way the flower turned out, but the leaves not so much. I still have a lot of practicing to do, but I really enjoy coloring again!
Cardstock: Stampin' Up (Cherry Cobbler, Baja Breeze), Papertrey Ink (Rustic White)
Stamps: Papertrey Ink (Delightful Dahlia, Signature Greetings)
Ink: Clearsnap (Chianti), Martha Stewart (Bamboo)
Tools: Papertrey Ink (Linen & Canvas impression plate)
Accessories: ribbon, button, thread
Color medium: Prismacolor Premier pencils, odorless mineral spirits
I must rush over to submit my link before the deadline! Thanks for stopping by today, and for all your kind words of encouragement. Have a great day!
