Hello there friends! It's time for a new Color Challenge at Splitcoaststampers! Jeanne is hosting this week and she has chosen the combination of Coastal Cabana, Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green and Daffodil Delight. The dessert option is "Make it Summer", a last fling with the bright colors of summer before the onset of fall in a week and a half.
I've been looking forward to coloring up these darling cacti from Penny Black and Jeanne's colors gave me the perfect reason to do so. Using Copic markers, I followed the suggested coloring on the stamp set package because it was very similar to the challenge colors. It also worked out to keep the vases white with a bit of gray to create shadows, so I could add the aqua and bright yellow background. There wasn't much territory in the scene to add the flamingo color other than the small cactus flowers, so I stamped a different tiny flower with Flirty Flamingo ink next to the sentiment.
After the coloring was complete I trimmed it way down, mainly because the yellow was just so overwhelmingly bright! Layering the panel on black and adding the black and white Baker's Twine helped tone things down a bit too, plus reducing the size of the panel provided room above to add the sentiment.
Thanks so much for visiting, it's always so appreciated! I've added a link to SCS above so I hope you'll head over there to check out the Color Challenge and hopefully play along!
