Marshmallow Fluff for Color Hues

Hello and welcome!  It's mid-month and time for a new challenge at Color Hues.  This time the lovely Sheri has chosen a timely combo for Valentine's Day - pink and red!

Color Hues

While I was quite tempted to make a valentine, I decided to go a completely different direction and keep it wintery using these colors.

I am always drawn to the fun Art Impression stamps illustrated by Bonnie Krebs, so I thought these two cocoa-drinkin' gals would be fun to color up in pink and red.  And besides, after the holidays, I could identify with their desire to hide their marshmallow fluff lol! (Darn egg nog...and cookies...and everything else!)  I used Copic markers to color them and a white gel pen to create polka dots on one cup and, with a red marker, create a kind of plaid on the other cup.  Since the set didn't come with a die, I fussy cut the image.

For the background I used a piece of light gray and white polka dot, which looks very much like a snowy sky to me.  I hand cut a couple of snowbanks and layered those along with the pp on a panel of white, then popped that up on the white card base.  The sentiment was cut with a circle die and placed among the white glitter snowflakes, then the ladies were added along with a little bit of shadow at their feet so they wouldn't look like they were floating in air above the snow.

So glad you dropped by, I appreciate it.  Be sure to use the link above to take a peek at the fabulous cards by the other DT members and hopefully be inspired to join us with your take on these colors!

Take care!
