The color story for this card is very similar to the picture. I chose to use orange in a very small amount on this card. I chose this sweet image from Stamping Bella because it referenced the flowers from the photo. I stamped this image five times and colored it twice before it was all over. But that's okay because I ended up with something I really love. After completing the card, I wasn't completely satisfied so I moved on to another image.
I absolutely love this image from My Favorite Things and felt it would be perfect. I immediately wanted to paper piece the image using the new Olivia paper line from Basic Grey. I completely discarded the orange and concentrated on the vase and flowers. I have to be honest - piecing this card together was not easy. I just don't think you can beat the effect. It's far better than any coloring I could have done. I finished very happy with my image.
I'm immensely happy with the trigger this week on the Moxie Fab blog. I'm happy it got me to push into a new color story without too much resistance on my part. I think I will start combining teal with pink in my regular work. Just another way this hobby opens me up. I encourage anyone to participate in challenges. It's really a great way to expand your creativity. Love it so much. So that's it for today. Hope everyone is continuing to have a nice Friday. Until then...
