This time the amazing Jules is hosting and has chosen a delicious color combination.
I started by shading the white flowers with cool grays then moved on to the remainder of the panel. I can't tell you how much I love this color combination. I could have used darker orange colors for a little more drama but I went with something a bit lighter, maybe because it's Spring? I don't know but I like how it all turned out. I used a lighter shade of teal to color the background, the trimmed down the panel.
Thanks for visiting and I encourage you to head over to the challenge blog where my wonderfully talented teammates and Guest Designer Renate have some spectacular inspiration to share with you. The challenge will remain open until 9 am EDT Monday 4/14 and we'd love to see YOUR card in the gallery!
After enjoying using an older Emily Midgett illustration for our first challenge this year here, I decided to use another one for this challenge.
I started by shading the white flowers with cool grays then moved on to the remainder of the panel. I can't tell you how much I love this color combination. I could have used darker orange colors for a little more drama but I went with something a bit lighter, maybe because it's Spring? I don't know but I like how it all turned out. I used a lighter shade of teal to color the background, the trimmed down the panel.
Some gold metallic paint was used around the edges of the panel, and lest you think my hands have gotten shaky, the imperfection was intentional. I followed that up with some splatter and after it dried mounted it onto an orange panel adhered to a white card base. I used a white gel pen for the stamen then finished things off with the foiled sentiment from my stash.
