Well, it's time for another colour challenge from Kristina Werner. I was pleasantly surprised to see the colour this week. Very bright and fun! This colour combination is very similar to the Raspberry Tart DSP. I would have used more of that paper, but it has a lot of Cameo Coral in it, and not as my Pretty in Pink. I decided to combined this colour challenge with today's sketch challenge from SCS. Here is the card.
When I first looked at the picture that Kristina provided, I noticed that the pink's were more dominant. I grabbed my Crazy for Cupcakes. What is more fun that YUMMY pink cupcakes?
My card base is Pretty in Pink, and it is layered with Rose Red, and DSP from Raspberry Tart and Berry Bliss (retired). After cutting, and placing out my panels, I decided it needed a little pop of the Old Olive, so I added a small ribbon.
I stamped my image on watercolour paper using my Stone Gray Stazon ink. Remember that when you are watercolouring, it is important to use a permanent ink. You might fine with you Basic Black or Gray that the ink bleeds into your colouring.
I used my Aqua Painted and ink pads to colour in the image. The stand is Old Olive and the cupcakes are Rose Red and Pretty in Pink.
I had a lot of fun with this colour challenge. I hope you like my card!
