Good afternoon, a new month so a new colour combo from Color Hues.
When I first saw Karen's choice of colours I knew exactly where I was going! The new colours are the colours of a Rugby League team in the UK that my friend absolutely loves, Leeds Rhinos, so I made her this for her birthday back in March.
I bought the MFT stamp set, Birth-Yay, a few years ago and over the years I've made quite a few birthday cards for Jenny, I can't imagine making a card for her that isn't rhino based or blue and yellow at the least!
The sketch for this card is based on one from the MFT site but I changed up the colours from peach and aqua to the yellow and blue. All the different characters were coloured with Copics and then fussy cut out. The die cut circles were coloured with DI, Squeezed Lemonade and Blueprint Sketch and spritzed with a little water and then blotted to give a textured effect.
After adding the inked circles to my base card, I trimmed the over hanging bits off before stamping the sentiment and adding the characters on foam pads.
So where will this colour combo take you?
We'd love to see you in the gallery but if you need more inspiration the rest of the team and our GD have lots of ideas here.
So adorable. LOVE those yellow and blue circles filled with adorable critters and birthday wishes. Your friend Jenny is going to LOVE IT! xx
ReplyDeleteOh Julie, Julie...this card is so CUTE I can hardly stand it!! Your coloring and fussy cutting skills are wonderful, but the layout design is FABULOUS!! This whole card just totally makes me smile...LOVE it!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteJulie, this card is so creative, and so much fun! I loved it the minute I saw it. What a great design and it's so amazing that you managed your wonderful coloring with a two-color challenge! Pinning this one for future inspiration.
ReplyDeleteJulie, I am so smitten with your card and I think your friend a lucky one to receive it! Love the cute assemblage of critters on the circle die cuts and fun sentiment (the BB sets had the best ones in my opinion). Super cute and perfect use of the CH colors!
