Hi! It's Wednesday again which brings us a bright, new Colour Me challenge! This week we have a playful combo of Tempting Turquoise, Melon Mambo, Calypso Coral, and Daffodil Delight. These are some REALLY fun colors! I tend to struggle with more then two or three colors, so I love that this challenges me! I decided I could combine the coral and yellow into a sunset and use the turquoise as water. I figured it would be fun to throw the flamingo in there to tie in the melon color. I'm very pleased with the way it turned out! I also love that I was able to use the sketch from the Paper Players this week!
I sponged and sponged and then sponged some more on this card. The sky, water and sun are masked and sponged, and the starburst framelit behind the sunset scene is also sponged around the edges. Then I sponged on some Calypso Coral to the Irresistibly Yours DSP. I love how soft and subtle the colors look, yet they are still fun. The only things that didn't get the sponge treatment are the flamingo, flower, and sentiment.
Here's a list of my supplies....
Stamps: Flamingo Lingo
Ink: Calypso Coral, Tempting Turquoise, Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight
Paper: Calypso Coral, White, Irresistibly Yours DSP
Accessories: 1" circle punch, Circle Framelits, Starburst Framelits, Bitty Banner die, Standard hole punch, Petite Petals punch
