Playing at colour challenges often means going out of my comfort zone, but not this time.
My today's card is inspired by Color Throwdown #501. I really like the suggested colour scheme, but I do not own a broad collections of coloured cardstock or inks.
I decided to find my way with a help of my favourite colouring medium - coloured pencils.
Yellow and grey colours led me to an idea of using a cute set of stamps - Create A Smile SUPERPOWERS* ( SSS | CRT ). There is an adorable Super Mouse image.
I stamped a mouse image in kraft dye ink onto a rectangle kraft card stock mat and coloured the impression with coloured pencils.
To create cheese slices on the background mat I used confetti pattern Create A Smile SWOOSHES Clear Stamps Set* ( SSS | CRT ). It is also stamped in kraft shade ink and coloured with pencils.
To assemble my card I glued a soft grey mat to a white card note and raised the kraft mat with a fun foam.
These sentiments are part of Superpowers stamps set by Create A Smile. I stamped them in black onto yellow stripes and popped up with a super thick foam tape.

Modern coloured pencils have very good blending ability and give a perfect coverage on non-white cardstock.

I would like also to remind you that the current challenge at Create A Smile is about making a card for a Special Day.
I hope my card will inspire you to play together with us and I will see your creation in our gallery. You can take a look at my DT card for this challenge HERE, by the way, it was also coloured with pencils.

What a fun birthday greeting! So glad you joined us in the challenge at Color Throwdown!
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing, Ksenija! So beautifully colored. And I had to look at the stamp set cuz I couldn't believe those cheese slices weren't cheese slice stamps! Fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThank you, dear Maria :) This is what pencils are made for - to colour any impression the way we want it to look. Who would think of designing a cheese slice stamp? Lol!
DeleteAdorable! I need to work with colored pencils! So happy you joined us at CTD!
