Afternoon folks. As we are over halfway through the month of February, it's time for a brand new colour combo from Color Hues. Here's my take using a digi from the new to me, All Dressed Up, that I won before Christmas!
According to Google, Peach is a soft warm pastel colour, ranging from pale pinkish orange to light yellow orange and Teal is a rich blue green colour, neither of which are especially suited to the Copic colour range I have. So after more googling, I went with a mix of E93 95, YR21 02 for my peach tones and BG45 and 49 for the teal elements. Luckily the elements I'd decided to colour in Teal were small so it didn't need the full shading.
After printing and colouring in Copics, I fussy cut her out and concentrated on my background panel. Luckily I found a perfect sized and coloured snippet of some DP from an earlier project and placed it behind my apperture cut into some linen effect white card. A few flowers were punched, yes you read correctly PUNCHED from some white card, coloured with the same Copic markers and shaped with a ball tool. They echoed the flowers in her hair and on her necklace. The cute girl was added on top and a Uniko sentiment in black finishes it off.
For more peach/teal inspiration please check the Color Hues blog where as always the rest of the team and GD Gundi have done a stellar job of inspiration.

I feel your pain about using Copics for peach, but you did a fabulous job with those colors, Julie! I'm going to have to remember that combo. Great design too, especially with the lucky find of the perfect patterned paper and the flowers are so cute. Darling card!
ReplyDeleteJulie, I looked in my Copic stuff and found 2 other peach combos in case you want other options. One is E97, YR02, 01, 00, 000 and the other is YR02, E93 and R01. Hope that helps!
ReplyDeleteThanks Stef, I'll keep them in mind. :)
