Oh my – I forgot to create my color challenge post for today. That is why it is late this morning. I was so busy yesterday pricing retired items for a sale that I totally forgot. I did some cleaning out the last few weeks and I have lots of stuff to sell – stamp sets, ribbons, embellishments, Designer Paper, etc. I will be posting a list soon so check back if you are looking for anything.
Ok so on to this weeks color challenge -here is the inspiration picture for the UDI Color challenge –
I usually pull out my Color Coach and get the color for the week together and let them sit in my craft room while I think about what to do. This week Wisteria Wonder, Pacific Point, Basic Gray, Basic Black and Whisper White. Really it was almost a masculine color scheme but the Wisteria kept throwing me off. I had a couple of new stamp sets on my table that I hadn’t used yet and one was a new set called Under the Big Top. It has a weightlifter, a seal and an elephant – all of which could be gray, and the blue would fit again it was the Wisteria that was throwing me – a weightlifter wearing Wisteria tights – hmmm. So which one did I end up using? I decided on the Seal.
And I used the Wisteria on the cake. The image is stamped in Jet Black StazOn ink. Then I watercolored with my aqua painter – the seal is Basic Gray, the stand is Pacific Point, the cake is Wisteria Wonder. I went over the frosting with a white gel pen. The card base is Basic Gray with a layer of Basic Black and a layer of Basic Gray Deisgner Series Paper. I pierced holes on either side of the paper and tied around some White Taffeta.
You could make a whole set of cards from that stamp set using this layout, just adjust the colors to suit each image.
