...You're not supposed to be seeing any colour here! Today's challenge at
OCC is monochromatic neutrals with lace and buttons! I used the challenge to push myself into trying a little monochromatic colouring, something I have long admired and wanted to try. As luck would have it, the
MFT girls provided a bit of inspiration in this area recently too!
Funky right? I love the Addams Family-esque look! I coloured my image with Copic Markers W-1, W-3, W-5 and W-7 and added some sparkle with a glitter pen. Two of my prima flowers were sprayed with silver bells glimmermist, the top flower was sprinkled with some Martha Stewart glitter. Wide ribbon, a scrap of crochet lace, black rhinestones and bakers twine finished the shabby goth look.
Inside I used the faux crochet die-namic for a pretty border. My die-namics collection is growing ever larger - I don't have much creative time at the moment (too many essays to write!) but I should have some amazing new things to show you soon!
I hope you'll head on over to
OCC to see all the design team creations and play along!

I always love stopping by to see what you have done! You are very talented and I LOVE all your little touches! I think spraying your flowers really helped them pull the whole card together! Fabulous! (and I'm a fan of MS glitter!)

ReplyDeleteThis is genius Sarah!! Can you send it to me ASAP!!!! LOL! I LOVE the look of the PI girl colored with grays and the shimmer adds so much I just love it! I have to say when I first came here yesterday to comment I got sidetracked looking at the MFT challenge and found a video on the gray coloring with copics!! I must try it sometime!!
ReplyDeleteSuper job on this challenge Sarah! I love the neutral tones you chose and the text DP was a great choice. Great effect with using ribbon and lace and the baker's twine is the frosting on the care!
