Afternoon.
Can you believe we already over halfway through May, the days are hurtling by. As it's the 16th of the month we have a new colour challenge at Color Hues. This time we have a very feminine duo, chosen by Karen, here's my take.
I'm back to my cute images with this card, using an old LOTV rubber stamp, Coffee Time, it was one of the first stamps I purchased from them, Harrogate Stamp fair I believe nearly 20 years ago! I've also used one of my go to sketches, combining an embossed panel and some DP. I first used this layout way back in 2014 according to my records but can't be sure where I found the sketch! It's been modified over the years and adapted, probably a Sketch Saturday originally!
Copic pens are not great for choice when it comes to purple tones, so the bulk of this plum element is the card, but I did find a scrap of NitWits DP for the background that matched the theme. I used V01, 12 15 and RV34 for the plum, the nearest I could get to the red purple I think was needed and a selection of pinks in the RVs 10, 11, 13, and 14.
After fussy cutting the image, I set it to one side to make my base for it to sit on. From a panel of A6 white card, I cut a circle out with a die and then ran it through a large dot EF, brand unknown! On an A6 panel of plum card, I cut a slightly smaller circle to provide a frame inside the white panel, looks a bit wonky in the photo but it is just the angle. Both these were cut down to reveal the base card and a hint of the purple before gluing together. The DP panel was added to my base card, then the top panels on pads. My coffee drinking friends were then added, foam pads to left the top half off the DP and glue at the bottom and a Uniko sentiment completes.
So what ideas will you have for the new colour pairing? As always we love seeing your makes in the Color Hues gallery but should you need more inspiration, then why not check out the rest of the team and our GD here.

Favourite Sketch and Why?
I like the simplicity of the sketch as well as it's versatility, male female, cute, graphic. The circle aperture makes a nice change from a circle die cut with which to frame the image. What ever your take this sketch works, just change the image, EF or colours and you've got a different look! Here's one I made 10 years ago for a bloke.
An absolutely adorable image, coloured to perfection! As always, your artistry dazzles and delights!

A very pretty colour combo Julie, and perfectly teamed with that adorable stamp. A super sketch too (for both new and old cards!!) that has stood the test of time and perfect for AYLI. We haven't had any significant rain for over a month now. We were promised, much needed, heavy storms on Monday but it missed us. There's another Bank Holiday looming so we may get some then!!
ReplyDeleteSo adorable!! Love this image done with the challenge colours. And your design is awesome with the circle aperture lined with text. xx
ReplyDeleteI love this layout, Julie! This is the sweetest pair enjoying their coffee. You've done a wonderful job of coloring them!
ReplyDeleteJulie, You fussy cut this...of course you did! You already know how much I love when you color cute images. This is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteLove everything about this sweet card Julie!! The image is absolutely adorable (I also have this one but I'm not sure I ever colored it up...bought too many all at once, so never got a chance to color it! I know...excuses, excuses!!), and colored just perfectly! Loving your layout too! Sweet, sweet card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
