Oh, Happy Day!

Published by Shel9999 at 4:33 pm under Elzybells, My Designs

Hi!  I decided to try today’s color challenge at SCS…to use Tempting Turquoise, Green Galore and Kraft.  Interesting combination.  I never would have put these colors together, but I like the sharp contrast of the bright colors, especially when set off with black.

HDR3I am on a mission to use up some of this old Stampin’ Up patterned paper.  These stripes are from Dots & Dashes.  (I wish SU wouldn’t retire everything so quickly.)

The sentiment found it’s place at the top because when I was stamping the flowers on the car, the mask didn’t quite cover enough of the white paper and I ended up with a bit of a flower up there.  Oops!

I colored the image with Copic markers, trying my best to pick the closest shades to Turquoise and Green Galore.  I used the colorless blender pen to lighten parts of the car and the tires. 

I was feeling pretty layout-challenged today, so I settled for the three panels.  And just to add a little extra “something,” I popped them up just to be a little different.  The oval sentiment is popped up as well.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great day!  And just for the record, Kim made me (want to) use this stamp today.  Shoot!  I could have borrowed one of her layouts.  Why didn’t I think of that sooner? Next time!
