You are, you know! Fantastic, I mean. Just in case you forgot.
We have a new challenge at Craft Your Passion Challenges this week. Our theme is Cool Colours (blues, greens, purples)...colours from the cool side of the colour wheel. I found this to be a challenge indeed because I tend to gravitate toward the warm, vibrant colours. As I was colouring this fabulous Fan-tasia image from our awesome sponsor, Delicious Doodles, I kept reaching for some of the downright hot Prismacolor pencils like Process Red, Sunburst Yellow, or Orange for a jolt of heat...lol. The outside edges of the image background were inked with Broken China Distress ink and Icicle Stickles was dotted on the circle centers.
The background paper comes from DCWV's The Far East Stack and was matted with dark blue cardstock for contrast. The paper behind Fan-tasia is a tiny tone on tone print from my scrap box and was also matted with dark blue. The pre-cut scalloped edge was darkened with Stormy Sky Distress ink. Two layers of ribbon, one white satin and a second narrrow one with turquoise stripes, were wrapped to the back of the background paper.
Two Heidi Swap resist butterflies were colourized, the larger with Glimmer Mist and the smaller with Stormy Sky Distress ink. Turquoise bling created their bodies and they were popped up on foam tape for dimension before being adhered to the ribbon layer.
The sentiment was computer generated, inked around with Broken China and matted with dark blue cardstock before being popped up on foam dots. Three white pearls were added to the top right corner for balance.
Thanks for stopping by today to visit with Fan-tasia, me, and all of our cool tones. I so appreciate your interest and lovely comments. If you get a chance, pop ove to the Craft Your Passion Challenges blog to see the fabulous inspiration for the Cool Colours challenge from the rest of our talented DT. I'd love to see what you come up with...hope you'll join us.
