I'm having a second try at Lilian's sketch for this week's Sugar Bowl Challenge; I'm not totally convinced by the colours on my earlier card :).
I've often thought that Daisy, who is such a lovely Sugar Nellie to colour in, would look good as a monochrome image. So I've stamped her with Tea Dye Distress Ink and dragged some of the ink into her clothes and hair. I suppose the answer is that you can't go wrong with such a great stamp, but I think this looks good.
With Stampin for the Weekend's Challenge #3 in mind, I've kept to the soft neutral colours, she's A Whiter Shade of Pale, which fits their Rock'n'Roll 60s Challenge. The papers are Antique Cream Creative Tones from Papermania, I've added some Stickles to the flowers in Daisy's hair and to the daisies in the paper. The images are mounted on Kraft paper to fit the Sugar Bowl Challenge. There's ribbon in Daisy's hair and on the card, and that's it, a pretty clean and simple card.
This is gorgeous Anne, never seen Daisy in vintage tones before and the Tea Dye worked so well. The papers are lovely and blend so well and a fab sketch to. Thankyou for taking part in this weeks SFTW!

Love your card Anne, you've done a wonderful job on it, great idea to use the distress inks to stamp it with and then just push in the color a bit, gives great shading results. And it is certainly a great take on the White Shade of Pale song.

Oh she is just too adorable! I love the way you made her monochromatic - it is such an intricate stamp it doesn't necessarily need any other colors on it.

Super card Anne. I love the subtleness to the shades you've used. The papers are fab and your image is just darling. Love the distress ink you chose. She looks all summery too, so you'd probably get away with two out of the three songs.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining us this week for Challenge 3 at "Stampin' for the Weekend". We hope you had fun making your card and that we see you again for many more to come! Good Luck
