Embellish Color Trends – Coloring

Posted by Sarah Martina on Aug 5, 2011 in Embellish Magazine, The Craft's Meow | 9 comments

Hey everyone!

I’m popping in to share my card for the current Embellish Color Trends Challenge:

Sponsor: The Craft’s Meow
Theme: Coloring (Copics, markers, pencils, pastels, watercolor, ink, paint)
Colors: yellow, pink, green, kraft

Don’t those colors just make you happy?

I used the following stamps sets from The Craft’s Meow on my card: Telegram, Happiness Is…, Timeless Tags, and Life is a Carnival.

So the challenge is to use some form of coloring your images… so I cheated a little and just used my ink, lol. Truth is I totally made a boo boo and forgot to color like I was supposed to. I got in a creative zone and completely left that part out. Thank goodness dear Ashley is so forgiving, .

Anyhoo, there are lots of different techniques for coloring images (other than using your ink pads) – you can use water color pencils, paint, mists, chalk, markers… whatever you want… I’ll be giving this challenge another go over the weekend, and adhering to the rules a bit better than I did this time.

The rest of the DT did such a great job with the challenge, and you can see their projects on the Embellish blog. I’m really, really inspired by Ashley’s showcase of coloring techniques in her mini-album, so be sure to pop by there and check it out.

Then come play with us in the challenge…
