I decided to play along this week in the CR84FN color challenge.....I haven't had time do a challenge in quite a while but who can resit these awesome colors! Love using orange, yellow and brown combo's. I like to add a little bit of red when I can sneak it in too...he he!
I decide to use a new Penny Black stamp for my main image here. It just screamed to be colored using my favorite color combo!
Supplies used: Penny Black 4202L
Hero Arts ST508, Verve sentiment from Harvest Blessings VS-09-036
Assorted brown, orange, cream cardstock
distress inks antique linen, scattered straw, broken china, tumbled glass, brushed corduroy
Marvy & Bic markers: hemp twine & yellow gem
The image was stamped with antique linen distress ink- then I came back over the entire image and colored it in using markers. I used some scattered straw distress ink and a bit of brushed corduroy to make the ground- and used broken china and tumbled glass to make the sky. I really had fun coloring this image- all those little berries/leaves were a blast!! I used a few shades of orange, yellow, a few different browns, and a tiny bit of red. I don't have very many Copics, so I mainly used my assortment of Marvy markers and (gasp!) some plain old Bic markers. The card base pattern was stamped using a new stamp from Hero Arts/Studio Calico- set ST508, and the sentiment is from Verve. The gem on the little twine bow is yellow...but it didn't show up very well in the picture....darn it!
I'm loving these colors and the trees here in Wisconsin are in "full fall bloom" right now- they are amazing. Before you know it they will all be falling off and then it will be time to rake them all up.
Thanks so much for stopping bye and have a great day!

HATE RAKING! Almost as much as I hate to shovel! I'll be getting the boys to do most of it this year, whether they like it or not.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Anne! Our trees here are doing nothing......it's been raining so much I wonder if that has slowed them down?
