Flourishes Guest Designer


Happy Tuesday everyone!

I'm so excited to be chosen as a Guest Designer this month for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenges!  I love to color Flourishes' beautiful images with pencils and mineral spirits, so I jumped as the chance to join them this month!  Thank you Allison for having me!

The Timeless Tuesday Challenge #236 for this week is "Double Wrap" - use at least 2 kinds of ribbon.  For the challenge, I used blue seam binding and golden brown silk ribbon for the bows.



 



The image I used is from the Dahlias Set.  I love this flower image with the little vases, so much fun to color!  I decided on this pretty blue and golden brown color combo for coloring the image and then added all the remaining papers and ribbons to match.  Prismacolor Pencils used are Muted Turquoise, Yellow Ochre, Goldenrod, Chocolate, Black and Kelp Green. 


Here's a little close up of the image.




For my card, I die cut the Dahlias image with Labels 8, cut a blue mat in the next die size up and embossed it.  The image is popped on the blue mat then the blue mat is framed with tan cardstock die cut with Decorative Labels 8.  This is then popped on a blue card base with a white mat. 

The "Hello" sentiment, also from the Dahlias Set, is stamped on white cardstock with black ink, punched with an oval punch and inked.  This was matted with a blue scalloped oval using a punch and pierced around the edges.  The bows and adhesive pearl were added to finish this!

Be sure to visit all the talented designers to see their beautiful creations for the challenge this week!
 
I'm also submitting this to the following challenges:

Blessings!

Kathy

  8. Wow! This is gorgeous! I love the colors and pretty layers, and your coloring is amazing! I've just started learning to color with pencils--they are completely different from using markers, but I love the way they look. I'm so glad you are joining us this month! Can't wait to see what you come up with every week!
