Well, that's been a quick week! We are back at Fab'n'Funky Challenges with a brand new theme for you today. However, we just want to thank everyone for entering our last challenge - Flower Power. What an overwhelming response. Flower power was certainly flowing in craft land last week!
Now onto our current challenge - the wondeful Sue (you might know her better as Sue - Bearhouse!) is our host and we are sponsored by the one, the only Saturated Canary. *insert squeal here* My absolutely favourite digi company - if we are allowed to have favourites! Okay, I won't keep you in suspense any longer, our theme is...
Pastel Colours
Simples! Just use a pastel colour palette for your project and link up to be in with a chance to win a fab prize from Saturated Canary.
The team were so lucky to be able to choose a digi from Krista's amazing collection and I chose Vintage Violet. She is just too cute! And here is my card...
My cardstock is all Hunkdory Adoreable Scorable and I embossed the blue with Spellbinders M-Bossabilites Dainty Dots. I added three stripes of the green and then layered the pink at an angle with foam pads. My image was cut with Spellbinders Grand Rectangles.
I used Flexmarkers and ProMarkers to colour Violet up and used these colours - Ivory, Vanilla, Satin, Blush, Dusky Pink, Pale Blossom, Pink Lavendar, Lemon, Soft Lime, Soft Aqua, Glacier Blue. I've actually lost my list but i think this is the full set of colours used. This is the first time I've tried using Ivory and Vanilla for blonde hair but I really liked the result.
Unfortunately, my camera skills haven't shown up the shading too well. It is very subtle. I added Glossy Accents to make her glasses shine. My sentiment was stamped from that great set that I can't remember where I bought! I used Spellbinder Framed Tags One to cut it out. My gems are from Create and Craft.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Digital Tuesday Challenge #199 - Birthdays
The Cutie Pie Challenge Blog #38 - Pretty Pastels
Sweet Stamping Challenge Blog - Mother's Day or for a Special Lady
I hope you can join us in our Pastel colouring challenge.
Happy crafting,
