Happy Friday and welcome to a color combination challenge blog hop hosted by members of the Gina K Design CSS Alumni team.
If you came by the way of the very talented Miejse you are right on track. If you just popped in for a visit, I am glad you stopped by and invite you to check out the blog hop from the beginning right here!
As I mentioned this month we have a color combination challenge and I had the opportunity to pick the colors that the girls were to use for their projects. I went with fall colors, Pumpkin Spice, Fresh Asparagus and Sweet Corn plus neutral colors (white, ivory, black, and brown) could also be used.
Along with the color challenge, we are also featuring hand drawn stamp sets designed by Melanie Muenchinger and Theresa Momber.
I made two cards to share with you tonight. The first card uses sets from both Melanie and Theresa.
I added stickles to the petals on the sunflowers for a bit of sparkle.
The papers I used are Gina K's Pure Luxury Pumpkin Spice, Sweet Corn and Dark Chocolate.
I grabbed my brayer, post-it notes and sponges to create my next card.
All the images and sentiment are from the Wild About You stamp set.
I used the brayer to add the sky and ground, then added in the hills with torn post-it notes and sponges.
The giraffe was stamped on a separate piece of cardstock, colored with copics and cut out. I wanted to have the grass around the giraffe's feet in the scene. To do that I cleaned the stamps, covered all but the giraffe's feet and grass with a post it note, inked the feet and grass and removed to post-it note before stamping.
The papers I used Gina K's Pure Luxury Fresh Asparagus and Black Onyx.
Now make sure as you hop along you leave a comment on each designer's blog because on Tuesday morning (September 25), we will randomly choose two comments from all the blogs and two lucky individuals will receive a Gina K. Designs Stamps set each (the winners will receive either a set designed by Melanie Muenchinger or Theresa Momber).
Now I am going to send you on your way to Tera's blog to see her fabulous creation!
Enjoy the rest of the hop!
