Afternoon, time for a brand new colour challenge from Color Hues.
For this challenge Jules has selected a calm colour pallette of soft blue and green but for me this was a challenge, the colours are a bit tricky to replicate in Copics but I hope I've managed to get as close as possible with this little chap, neutrals are always welcome!
This is a digi image from Lili of the Valley which I printed off onto some Copic friendly card before colouring. For the blue I went with the grey blues of the B90 set and for the sage green I used mainly BG90s with a touch of YG63, E71 for shadow.
The sentiment is from a magazine freebie, which I stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black. The finish panel was trimmed down to just under A6 and then mounted on some really old DP from the stash before being added to a 5 x 7inch white base card.
So there we have it, but there's plenty more fab inspiration from the rest of the girls over on the Color Hues blog, along with our GD Birgit Looking forward to seeing all your makes in the gallery.
Have fun!
