Happy Tuesday. here is my card for todays challenges - teapotter and colour challenge. This week we are sending our teapotter cards to Alice Barker - who is 102 years old and loved to dance in her younger years. She just got to see herself dancing for the first time... How exciting is that.
For the colour challenge - I used colours that are close to the challenge colours - coastal cabana, baked brown sugar, crisp cantaloupe and strawberry slush.
I will be back later to explain how I made my card.
The image is a download from the computer. I coloured over top with a black marker and then embossed with black embossing powder. Stamped on the musical notes with vintage sepia - that I had stamped off first to get a lighter tone. Sponged around edges with vintage sepia and ruby red ink. Added the flowers - attached with brads. I made the background using several different dps that were close to the colour challenge colours.
Hugs..Pat
