Good afternoon, crafty friends and a Happy Tuesday to you all! We're having a touch of late Summer here in North Wales with cloudless blue skies, 26/27 degrees and a gentle breeze...perfect to sit in the shade with a cup of tea and a Digestive! Though that's in a little while...at first, I have to let you know about this week's brand new challenge over at Passion for Markers!
The lovely Julie is in the hostess chair with a topical theme of Autumn Colours - the greens of nature are definitely losing their vibrancy and making way for more subdued, richer tones of russet and gold...
We're being sponsored by JMC Designs who are offering one lucky winner a choice of digital collection from their online store...
We were lucky enough to get an image to play with and I picked out this fun Tartan Rex...
I coloured Rex up with my Pro/Flexmarkers and gave him a brighter green colour tone to make him pop from the more subdued tones of the papers, using Lime Green, Chartreuse and Forest Green...
I used one of my go to sketches for the layout and picked papers from my scrap drawers in an orange, brown and green colour palette. I added the sentiment from WOW! Stampset66, cutting the happy word with a white border and popping up on foam pads, and then finished with some enamel dots (which I NEED to get some more of!)
Well, I'm off for that cuppa and biscuit - I hope that you're enjoying the good weather, if you have it and that you can find the time to join in with our fun challenge this week...I look forward to seeing all of your wonderful creations!
Crafty hugs,
