What's Up?

With paint already on my palette, I thought I might as well colour up a few more images, and this one of Cheeky Chat from The Greeting Farm is one of my favourites!

She's colored in yellow, aqua and grey shades ... for the last challenge at Dynamic Duos: Challenge #100 (and it's so sad that they are closing the wonderful blog just when I have discovered them.... sob.. sob!)

The sentiment comes from Hero Arts - Guess What stamp set, whilst the diamond-shaped embossing folder is from Cuttlebug.

Cheeky Chat was coloured using Caran D'ache Neocolor II Water-soluble wax pastels - I love the richness of the colours and the ease for water-colouring and blending.

card challenges are great for taking us out of our comfort zones ... a great example being this card which combined two colors that I personally would never have considered as being compatible, a rich berry color with a light aqua shade.

Color choice was based on this week's The Paper Players Color Challenge #162

Card design was based on the sketch challenge in this week's Paper Smooches SPARKS Sept 9-15 Designer Drafts Challenge.

Stamped image of the cute little moose together with the 'merry kissmoose' sentiment come from Paper Smooches - Chubby Chum Pals stamp set, whilst the ribbon banner is from Paper Smooches - Streamers stamp set.

And isn't it great that it's FRIDAY with the weekend to look forward to!
