PDCC #137

 Hi again, second post in a day and not a D.T card in sight lol! I'm on a bit of a roll today, having broken out my new Growing Green set from Stampin' Up. 

I've coloured this image in pink earlier today, and as I was colouring, I just wanted to colour it in all the colours of the rainbow! Well, one of my favourite challenges, The Play Date Cafe is having a Colour Splash this week, of White, Black and Blue, my favourite!


I've used the fern image again, and coloured it using Promarkers in Powder Blue, Cobalt Blue, Pastel Blue, Morning Mist and March Hare.


I stitched the image onto some black textured card using black thread, and stamped the sentiment from Uniko Studios in Tuxedo Black.



I then layered this panel onto some deep blue marbled effect card, it also has a beautiful sheen to it.
I then added some tiny black gems under the sentiment for a little sparkle.


Finally I added a sentiment panel inside the card, stamping the fern image partially in the corners.

Well, the rain has stayed off today, but it's still grey, cold and windy.

I'll be back tomorrow with my card for the new CR84FN challenge, thanks for stopping by,

Pauline

Pauline, you did a fabulous job coloring that fern (it is a fern, isn't it??)! It almost glows. I'm so glad you were able to come and play with us at The CAfe. I know the feeling of having a day where you get to craft for fun, instead of a DT card. :D
