It's time for another Paper and Such challenge and this time we are doing a color challenge! I admittedly struggle with color challenges, but this came together relatively painlessly for me. I decided to make a gift tag rather than a card using the newly released Paper and Such Christmas Flowers stamp set.
I stamped the flower twice on some PTI scarlet jewel CS and then cut out the top layer of petals and mounted it with a foam dimensional. I shaded the the petals a bit with a Copic marker in R59 and colored the center with YR12 and YR15. I colored the leaves with YG97, YG95, and YG93. I sponged some SU chocolate chip ink around the edge of the PTI kraft tag that I cut out using the PTI Tag Sale #1 die. I stamped the sentiment from the Paper and Such Christmas Flowers set, sponged the edges and then mounted that on PTI fine linen CS. A PTI scarlet jewel button with twine and dark chocolate twill ribbon completes the tag.
Here are the colors for the challenge:
Now hop on my my fellow DT members' blogs to see what they've cooked up for the challenge and then head on over to the Paper and Such Challenge blog to play along with us. A Paper and Such gift certificate is up for grabs and a cool ball badge for your blog is your creation is chosen by the DT. You do NOT have to use a Paper and Such image to play along!
What gorgeous colors and your tag is a beauty. I too struggle with color challenges and usually stay away! Sketches are more my thing :>)
