Hi and welcome to my desk this fine Saturday.... today I've made a card for the Power Poppy June challenge - to use coloured pencils, so I have dug up my old Faber-Castell Metallic Colour Pencils....I've used two shades of purple, but had to resort to a touch of Twinkling H2Os for my yellow - the photo doesn't capture the sheen of the metallic pencil but it goes beautifully with the H2Os. I fussy cut my floral image and attached it to my lovely Distress Ink yellow background...I made a whole 12x12 sheet of this which turned out super - I just love how bright it is, then layered it with two panels onto my card. I finished off with stamping a simple sentiment directly onto the card. I am also posting to The Summer of Colour 5, week 3 where the colour theme is Purple + Purple + Yellow.I did have fun and it was hard not to want to add more the my card, but I do think it's just right as it is. Thanks for taking a peek

ReplyDeleteI would have been by to see this beauty sooner, but time was not on my side this week. I've missed everything. Sure like that card. Wish it was MY birthday (grin).
ReplyDeleteHow beautifully colored. I'll have to see about those metallic pencils. You've spiked my interest with your wonderful creation.
ReplyDeleteOh, Robyn, what a beautiful card, and it's so vibrant and cheery! Just love your Distress Ink background (wow!), and your flower is beautifully colored and fussy cut (something that I value highly myself!). Hugs!
