Hi there!
I’m so excited about today’s card – because I love these So Prickly images from Lil’ Inker Designs! I started coloring these images a few weeks ago for the coloring challenge.
These are solid stamps that I stamped in various greens using Stampin’ Up! inks and the pots in various browns using Altenew inks (Mocha & Rocky Shore).
To add shading and additional color, I used darker shades of the colors using my Faber-Castell Polychromos colored pencils.
Polychromos colors used: 115, 111 (oranges), 133, 123 (pinks), 267, 167, 278 (greens), 263, 169, 192 (browns), 156 (teal)
After coloring, I set those images aside to work on the background panel. I die cut these circles using the Dual Stitched Circle dies and ink-blended the background using distress oxide inks.
Distress Oxide inks used: Peacock Feathers, Cracked Pistachio, Squeeze Lemonade, Spiced Marmalade, Worn Lipstick
Once done, I added foam tape to the entire top panel and adhered it to the ink-blended card base. I then adhered the pots to the bottom of each circle opening and propped up the cacti on additional foam tape. I finished the card off using a simple sentiment embossed in white on black cardstock.
Thanks for stopping by today!
XOXO,
