In the Magnolia_Down_Under_Challenge#7 the challenge was to make a card in sepia tones using a magnolia image.
I have been watching this blog for quite some time and since I had finally got access to some magnolia images, I decided it was time for me to take part in one of the challenges.
At first I thought I had made life difficult for myself and has chosen a hard one to start with, but as I sorted through my stash of papers, I came across just the right tonings I wanted.
I watercoloured the image, and then highlighted a few select spots with chalks - I think I have made the top just a bit too bright for a true sepia toning, but am still happy with the way my card turned out. Of course, it would not be a CrafteeCC card without any bling - I have put just the tiniest bit of bling (kindy glitz) on the wings ;) and added gold sticker sentiment and on corners.
Love that stamp, haven't got that one yet, great card.
ReplyDeleteShe is beautiful Cathy...so you have used chalks to colour her?
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you did join in with us this is so cute, I love it, just gorgeous. I love the stamp, never seen that one before! Another to add to my ever growing list. Thanks so much for joining in with us at Magnolia Down Under ChallengesKelx
ReplyDeleteHi Merry, I coloured her first with watercolour pencils, but because my blending is not very good, I decided to highlight some areas with chalks - little bit of blush on the face, a hint of pink for the lips, and highlighted seams on jeans with a bit of black. I am quite pleased with the combination of watercolours & chalks - I must remember to do it again ;-)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Love that DSP. Thanks for playing.
