I really like this color combo and I drew the inspiration from the color challenge at Sunday Stamps! :
I know these are fall colors but why should we be restricted by that? It can also be a great color combo for a birthday card! I've used Goldrush, Lagoon and Chocolate from the Close to My Heart palette. Coloring this party hat was fun. This is the first time that I colored it with markers and the first time that the light source is on the left side. I'm glad that the shadows of the image give me a good hint of how to color it and it wasn't too bad for a coloring newbie.
The sketch of the card came from Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge. I love how clean it is!
My card is also entering the following challenges:
Fashionable Stamping Challenges - Make a card
Hiding in My Craft Room - Color It
Totally Gorjuss - String
Seize the Birthday - Anything Goes Birthday with the option of Fall colors
Thanks for stopping by!
Love that image and your card! So glad you linked it up with us over at Seize the Birthday!
ReplyDeleteYour coloring is fantastic! And I completely agree that the color combo shouldn't be restricted to just autumn cards. It works perfectly for this birthday card.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing with us for our Color It! challenge this week at HIMCR and good luck!
