It's a Color Challenge!



 Aren't these colors pretty?  A touch of Spring in the middle of winter!  This is Challenge #29 from Friday Mashup!

I made three of these cards, only to use up the last bit of this Ginger Blossom DSP pattern.  Well, I also had fun coloring this image with SU markers and "huffing"  too!  (Some days it doesn't take a whole lot to entertain me!)  LOL!

And as is my usual routine, I put the entire card together and then decided to use some Smooch Spritz on the image.  So using lots of post-its to protect the rest of the card, I sprayed a light mist of shimmer on the Hero Arts Real Paintbrush image.  Of course you can't see it in this photo, but trust me it's there and it's beautiful!
Off to stamp some more!

We will swap you now Paige. A little cool for the HOT weather we are now having.
The shimmers and sheens do not show up well on the net do they?

What an interesting colour combo, definitely one I wouldn't have thought of. I love what you have created for this challenge Paige. Quite simple in its design, but the ribbon and buckle really add that extra something. Very Pretty!

I'll bet the shimmer makes this card even more appealing. Nice coloring too.
