I'm entering this into the following challenges:
Inspired by the challenge to be BOLD over at Simon Says Stamp, I decided to make a statement with my use of colour. For a double whammy, I was also brave enough to do something I had never done before and that was to colour the lady's hair in an unnatural colour - hot pink!
I started by decorating all my layering pieces and die cut shapes using brightly coloured distress inks, stencils and stamps, then coloured my image to match using co-ordinating alcohol markers. Image is: 'Fancy' by Saturated Canary.
I added the white dots in her hair afterwards with a gel pen as it's hard to leave the tiny areas white when using alcohol markers. I finished by adding wink of stella to the dress and hair ribbon and glossy accents to her eyes.
So there it is, my bold, bright card for today.
Supplies used:
Spectrum noir pens, Signo white gel pen, MFT 'blueprints 13', 'bride & groom', 'circle stax set 1' and 'circle stax set 2' dies, Papertrey 'sweet life' and MFT 'more washi patterns' and 'always & forever' stamps, Simon Says Stamp 'large morrocan' and Tim Holtz 'woodgrain' stencils, Distress ink pads; mustard seed, mowed lawn, peacock feathers, picked raspberry and black soot, black cardstock and white cardstock from Papertrey and sequins from Doodlebug.
If you popped over today, please leave a comment, I love to hear your thoughts!
