Elphine House Australia Color Challenge

Hi there!

It's time for another challenge at Elphine House Australia!  This time it's a color challenge using Easter or pastels colors.  You can use any Elisabeth Bell image for your creation, not just Elphine House Australia.  The winner will be chosen by random.org and will receive 2 stamps of their choice!

Here is my take on the challenge:




I decide to use one of EHA's new stamps called "It's a Boy".  Isn't this adorable, cute little man with a cute little one?  I colored the image with my Prismacolor Pencils and mineral spirits.  I had some fun with my stylus this time to create a little texture before I applied the pencil color.  I did lines on his hair and pants, argyle on his sweater, and dots on his tie.  I've had these designer papers from K & Co. for a long time, about time I used them!

For ingredients used:

Stamps: It's a Boy (EHA), Teeny Tiny Wishes (SU)
Paper: Itsy Bitsy Baby Boy Designer Paper (K&Co.), blue (DCWV Cardstock Pack), yellow & orange (Bazzill's Earthtones Mat Stack), white (Georgia Pacific)
Ink: Onyx Black (Versafine), Banana Bliss (Powder Puffs)
Accessories: Brads, star & wood buttons, ribbons (Michaels), Labels Eight Nestibilities (Spellbinders), square punch (SU), pearl cotton thread (DMC), stylus, Prismacolor pencils, mineral spirits, Bow-Easy


Hope to see you join in on the challenge this next 2 weeks!

Blessings!

Kathy
