Hey Divas!!! Design Team Member EK here today, showing off some three color coloring
with the Whimsical Wishes stamp set over at Craftin Desert Divas.
With the popularity of card challenges around the net, and so many of them being coloring challenges, I thought I would show off how to take a fun stamped scene and still apply it to a three color challenge.
The colors I picked came from this month’s Mood Board challenge over on the CDD Facebook Gallery. The three colors I picked were, current, bright blue, and purple.
I started off stamping out the fairy and sentiment from the Whimsical Wishes stamp set using my MISTI. Then masking her off, and stamping three different sized flowers and the wand. I just love how masking can create such a beautiful scene.
Next I pulled out the copics I was going to use to use to complete
the three color challenge. For the current, I pulled R81, R83, R85, and R56. The bright blue was colored in with B02, B04, and B06. The purple was colored in with V04, V06, and V09. I also used colorless blender in a couple places (especially the wings) to help create dimension. Normally, I cheat on these challenges and use a skin tone color as a neutral, but today, I used the R81, Vo4, R83 and colorless blender to create the Fairy’s skin tone, because when you are a fairy, pink is a perfect tone for skin.
The card needed tones of sparkle so the fairy dust could be everywhere, so I colored in the white space with spectrum noir glitter pen. I pulled out my Mix It Up dies and die cute a rectagle out of the card stock and matted it with some current card stock. I added the die cut matte image back onto the negative die cut. The card glitters so much!!! It is the perfect Fairy Dust.
