A new month and a new colour combination from Color Hues.
Nancy is hosting this challenge and she has gone with a combination similar to this card. I did initially think of using a similar masculine image but while I was rootling through my printed off images I came across one I'd not used before from LOTV, Annabel Roller Girl and I thought the colours would suit this tomboy image.
I used Copics B91,93,95,97,99 for the blues, along with a collection of Es for the browns and found a piece of NitWits paper I bought in a pad many years ago from LOTV's shop in Farsley which matched the colours perfectly. I think I'd been saving the pad and completely forgot about this dotty DP. I have lots of NitWits digi papers but my paper is not as firm as the pad version so I was hanging onto it!!
My top panel was embossed with another vintage EF, Cuttlebug, which I've had for nearly 20 years but is a goodie that doesn't get out to play much these days. The DP was glued to my base card, then the die cut and embossed panel added with foam tape before Annabel was added on top. No sentiment as the EF says it all!
So where will this new colour combo take you? As always the rest of the team have some fab inspo over on the Color Hues blog along with our wonderful GD Michele.
Looking forward to seeing your makes in the gallery!

Such a fun image Julie! I had that same embossing folder and it never come out to play, but that might change now. Thank you for the inspiration!

What a fun image and you've colored it beautifully as always! The background embossing is perfect to go with the image!
ReplyDeleteSweet, sweet image Julie and as always, beautifully colored! Love the polka dotted dsp behind your sweet little skater, and the embossing folder is a perfect fit too! You definitely nailed this color challenge my friend!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteYour little roller skater is so cute with her puppy pal in her backpack, off to find some adventures I am sure! Beautifully colored and turned into a beautiful card with the embossed background. Thanks for playing along with us at The Paper Players!
ReplyDeleteLove that image. You can really see her flying by with her hair whipping back. I love that she is carrying her dog! We did that years ago with our Dachshund. Great job with the colors and thanks for the sweet memory. I miss my pup.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, Julie, that is the cutest card! How adorable is she, rolling along on her skates, making sure her pup is with her, tucked in her backpack. Fabulous coloring and fun embossed background. So, so, sweet! Thank you so much for sharing over at the Paper Players this week too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderfully colored image, Julie, with her braids flying behind her and her pup stuffed in her backpack! I have the EF stashed away as well! It does work perfectly for a birthday card! Julia xx
