Ah, this has gone a little better today. Rather than sketches, I checked out some color challenges and had some fun making a couple of Easter cards. The first one I'll load is for ColourQ #127. Here are the colors:
And here is my card:
The card is Blushing Bride, the image is stamped on glossy White, the bowl, frame and word are done in Chocolate Chip, and the eggs are colored with Certainly Celery and Calypso Coral.
The second color challenge is the Tuesday Color Challenge at Splitcoast Stampers, "CC365-A Very Wild Bride!" Karen B. Barber is bringing us the colors for this challenge and she has chosen: Very Vanlla, Wild Wasabi, and Blushing Bride. Here is my card with just these colors:
For the SCS challenge, I stamped the images on Very Vanilla instead of glossy white.
You can see that both challenges had very similar ideas! In both cases, I embossed the background stamp first and then ran the embossed sheet through the Cuttlebug using the egg die and then I daubed the colors onto the eggs, which I think turned out so cute.
Please help me welcome TWO new followers (!): Cheryl and Scrappymo! I very much appreciate having you join me on this journey! And thanks to all for stopping by and, as always, know that your comments make my day!
Enjoy!
