It's a Boy Thing - Color Challenge - Elphine House Australia

Good Morning!

It's time for another challenge at Elphine House Australia!  This time the team challenges you to use a blue/green color combo on your card/creation.  You can use ANY Elisabeth Bell image or stamp.  The winner is selected randomly, and will win 2 stamps of their choice!  Here is my take on the challenge this week.



This was a fun challenge for me to use something other than pink and green as I have been lately!  It also gave me a chance to use a brand new stamp from EHA named "Tommy Splashing Puddle".  Isn't he cute and typical for a boy!  I love the little frog leaping!

Elphine House Australia has added 4 new stamps to their website by Elisabeth Bell. In addition to "Tommy Splashing Puddle", there is:

"Carrie Swan Princess"
"It's a Boy!!"
"It's a Girl!!"

You can find these here on their website to check them out!  They're all adorable!

I colored the image with my Prismacolor Pencils and mineral spirits on solor white paper from Neenah, and used some new paper I got named "The Guy Stack" by DCWV, perfect for boys too.

For ingredients used:

Stamps: Tommy Splashing Puddle (EHA)
Paper: White (Georgia Pacific), Solar White (Neenah), The Guy Stack (DCWV), Sizzix Cardstock Brights (DCWV)
Ink: Black Oynx (Versafine), Spanish Olive, Wheat, Turquoise Gem(Versamagic)
Accessories: Sponge, adhesive buttons (Stickopotamus), hemp cord, burlap fabric (Jo-Ann's), buttons (Dress-It-Up), boat sticker (old SU colored over with pencils), star punch (Fiskers), large Petite Scallops Nestibilities, Standard Circles Small, Standard Circles Large (Spellbinders), mineral spirits, Prismacolor Pencils.

That's it for now.  Hope you can join in the Challenge at Elphine House!

Blessings!

Kathy
