Mary is our hostess in the Color Challenge this week, and she has given us three pretty colors and the dessert option to add one or two more, which I did! Mary's colors are: Balmy Blue, Pumpkin Pie and Granny Apple Green. I added Daffodil Delight and Polished Pink.
I bought this set on impulse and later regretted it. But all that changed while I was coloring the image. This little duckie is just so darned cute, and I loved watching her come to life.
I stamped with Vintage Photo archival ink, then colored with Polychromos colored pencils and Gamsol (odorless mineral spirits) and blending stumps. For the moment, this is my favorite way to color! I masked the image, then ink blended the background with a cloud stencil. Stamped the greeting, dry embossed the basketweave background and ink blended the endges, mounted the focal image with foam tape, and added a few gems.
This month the team has picked soft, pastel colors, perfect for spring. Please join us and try out these beautiful colors. See you in the gallery!

Fabulous coloring. The challenge colors plus your dessert colors look fantastic. This little chick is adorable. Love this sweet scene you created. The basket weave embossing is a terrific choice. A delightful springtime card!

This is such a sweet image ~ love that darling duck pulling her colorful eggs. Your background is soft and lovely and that basket weave goes perfectly with the little cart beng pulled.
