Today is a new Colour Challenge at Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog :o)
Our Design Team member, ANGELA, wanted us to use GREEN this month.
Here is her picture:
Doesn't that look nice and fresh?
I just loved it, but wasn't able to do it justice I am afraid.
My problem was paper. Nothing really to work with so had to go a little bit different and on the way my work got much darker than I had intended :o(
Oh well - another time I hope to do better.
My images today are from Diana's store. Edwin with Hat# 153, Tilda with Clover and Hat with Shamrock - neither of which I can find at the moment - sorry about that. I will keep looking and update when I find them.
Here is the front of my card:
As you can see the shading around Tilda ended up very dark and not the way I wanted it to be. Also her clothes had to match the paper and I don't have the correct Copic Colours to that justice either.
Here is Tilda a bit closer:
Here is the inside of my card which I am much happier with:
and a closer one of Edwin:
I am slowly learning how to colour pleats and folds - S L O W L Y :o)
I need much more practice and hope that in the next month or so I will have a lot more time to make cards and you will see a big increase of work on my blog.
At least, that's the plan!!
Please take the trip to Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog and see the beautiful cards made by the rest of the Design Team. They will never let you down that's for sure!
