colour challenge

Hi there, it's my turn to choose the challenge this week at There She Goes. As a colour junky I chose to highlight a fabulous colour combo that I just love - rich, yummy, yellow and cool trendy grey!  I found this photo on the fabulous pinterest.

Here's some other photos from pinterest to whet your appetite!

I see this colour combo everywhere at the moment and I hope the trend continues for some time to come as it's fabulous! So for today, I translated these colours into a card. Although initially I was drawn to using pattern and making a card for an adult I actually liked the thought of using these colours for a child so I made a fun children's birthday card instead!

Supplies: Stamps - There She Goes zoo pendous; Ink - Versafine onyx black; Card - Stampin' Up bashful blue, basic gray, Papertrey Ink harvest gold; Dies - There She Goes world's best, Papertrey Ink scallop; Copics

I suppose it's no big suprise that the neutral I chose was white! I stamped the hippos on a white panel and coloured them with copics adding the faintest blue to the waves. Then mounted the panel onto a blue scallop and grey strip. Please excuse the addition of the little bit of blue, but I felt the hippos would dry out without a bit of water! The sun is actually cut using There She Goes new World's Best die. I cut the center rosette and then lots of little ribbon embellishments and attached those to the back. Here's a close up - as you can see there's lots of dimension going on here!
