Hello friends! It's my second week as a guest designer for the Color Challenge and this week Jeanne has chosen some of my favorite kind of colors - Pretty Peacock, Rococo Rose, So Saffron and a dessert option of Just Jade. She'll recognize my design from a recent [Tic Tac Toe Challenge] but I've used her color choices for this challenge, plus adding a neutral brown color.
I love these gnomes for a fun Easter card. They were colored with Copic Markers and die cut with matching dies. I ink blended the background with Distress Inks, then die cut it with a deckled rectangle die and layered it on two additional like die cuts before adding to the card base. The eggs are from a separate stamp set and were colored then fussy cut and adhered to the ink blended panel along with the gnomes after stamping the sentiment in the background. You can see more pics and info on my blog here .
Thanks for taking a look and I hope you'll play along with us this week!
