Found this super fun blog this past week and had to enter with a card I was making for one of my daughters!  One of the sponsors liked my entry and emailed asking if I’d create a card and be the guest designer for the next challenge???  I only panicked for a few minutes and then agreed to try.  Here is the card I submitted to Jennifer for the OCC  color challenge this week….

The color challenge is to use the colors Regal Rose, Certainly Celery and Bashful Blue,  all Stampin Up card-stock and ink colors. This  little girl (Penny Black rubber stamps)  is all ready for Spring, see the word “spring-time” in the music? I colored her with copic markers.  I really liked using YG11 and YG17 for the certainly celery colors. I dyed a little piece of SU’s white taffeta ribbon green w/the YG11 marker…I’ve been wanting to try that!  For the Regal Rose match,  I used RV 11, RV13, RV14 and RV 19.

I used the teeny 1/16th green Bazzill brads in the two holes of the flower button and put the white dots on the brads w/a white sharpie poster marker.  The flower button and the flower are from a Making Memories embellishment jar for Valentines Day. The leaves are two different Martha Stewart punches.  The little baby’s breath is a border punch w/six little flowers and the stem is from The Punch Bunch.  I used the Martha Stewart fence punch in the background and the Fiskars mini pinking decorative scissors to cut the top of the certainly celery card-stock, for the grass line.

I used the new Hero Arts grid stamp on the certainly celery card-stock and a Hero Arts floral background stamp on the regal rose card-stock.  The small white buttons are from Lasting Impressions for Paper and I used a teeny strip of rose card-stock for the “paper” thread. Oh for the copic match to bashful blue I think I like B21 the best but I also used a little of B34.

Our Creative Corner Challenge blog – this week is a sketch. I’m playing along, but I had to use a rectangle instead of an oval…hope that’s ok!  Click the link to see the sketch and play along!

The little boy stamp that’s stealing your heart is from Penny Black….love coloring w/the copic sketch markers…Eoo, Eo2, R20 for the face/flesh…R 22, R24, R27 for the reds….B91, B93, B97, B99 for the blues…Y21, Y35, Y38 for the yellows…can’t remember what I used for the red hair this time…I keep experimenting w/different markers for the red heads… I have a bunch in our family and they’re all different beautiful reds!  I colored on Beckett Expressions 80# Radiance card-stock for the first time with this image!  OH my,  it is my new favorite for coloring with copics…it is so easy to stay in the lines…and smooth, oh,  it is wonderful! 

The pattern papers I used here are from Carolees Creations…I wanted to keep it simple this time,  so the image would be the focal point for sure.  Again,  those puffy little hearts from K & Co.,  I heart them!
