I'm SO sorry I've not posted in such a long time! My home computer has been being difficult, my school computer completely died a week ago Friday, and we've been opening a rental property for the summer rental season. Add in that disgusting mini heat wave (did I mention 98 degrees in my classroom on Wednesday) and it's just been a wacky few days.
On to the fun and creative stuff!!! It's Saturday, so it's Stamp, Scrap & Doodle Challenge Day! The challenge this week is a color theme. Create something using the Americana colors of Red, White, and Blue.
I had fun with this card. I used the Lockhart stamp Roses, Daises & Polka Dots for the image, Pink Paisley for the red ribbon and added that white trim I had left after this card, and assorted Americana paper I had left from I kit I got ages ago.
I colored the image with R24, R27, R29, W2, YG13, YG17, E55, Y15, BG 95, BG 97, B00 and then edged with French Blue chalk ink. For the final touch I, of course, added yellow Stickles to the flower centers. :) It may not look great in the close-up, but when you look at the whole card it looks great. Just goes to show that you don't have to be detailed with small image coloring. I went from start to finish on this card in a matter of 15 minutes. I had too. I was on my way out the door for a Christmas card class and I had to have this made and photographed before I left. :) Score one for procrastination!
Make a Red, White, and Blue creation and enter it on the Stamp, Scrap, and Doodle Saturdays post and you could WIN 8 digi images of YOUR CHOICE from Creations by Penny!!!!
