TodayÂ’s Color Challenge has some beautiful colors & the first thing that came to mind was a dappled gray horse.
For my very dappled gray & her foal, I put them in my Misti, stamped w/ Memento, then colored them w/ Copic markers. It took me longer than I thought it would to color the horses….kind of funny when they are basically “gray”. I had to use the blender quite a bit to achieve the dappled look & this is probably the most I’ve ever used a black Copic, but I really needed it for the shadows. Since the cabana & bermuda are pretty much shades of each other, I used those Copic colors to color in the grassy area & add a bit of dappling to the lower background. Then I overstamped with Versafine to sharpen the details. The stitched rectangles & stitched ovals along w/ the plain ovals & rectangles were used to die cut the layers & frames.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups & Copic colors are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Gorgeous card, Julie! Now these are the dappled grays I was trying to achieve on my release card but I don't have the skills or tools to do it! Beautiful job! Love the layered frames too!
