I made a card with Cicely two weeks ago, and didn't want Gracie to feel jealous. So here she is, Gracie at Halloween!
The color combination came about after a bit of a double dog dare! Did you see Mischief Maker Renee Lynch's awesome Halloween color scheme of navy, orange, and gold HERE for the blog party? We were chatting about it via email, and I told her I wanted to see her create a card with Gracie or Cicely using those colors. Then SHE said that I should shout her new favorite Halloween color scheme from the rooftops! That maybe I should make a card with it or she would be (gasp) disappointed or quite possibly...upset!! So I accepted her challenge. I stamped Gracie in Memento's Nautical Blue ink and colored her with Copics (except the ones I had kind of turned her coat royal blue instead of navy)! The sentiments are also from Gracie at Halloween, and the star cluster is from Midnight Feast.
I am always leery of showing my Copic coloring skills in a close-up shot. Sometimes I feel like I am in kindergarten again, still trying to figure out how to stay in the lines :) I chose background papers from Authentique's "Enchanted" Collection topped with some sparkly gold twine!

ReplyDeletelovely card! Indeed, sometimes when I'm coloring too, I think I'm a child in Kindergarten too.
ReplyDeleteLove from Holland.
Now that was quite a challenge Renee gave you...wouldn't want her "upset" at me either! You did so good, your card is colored perfectly...everything is shaded perfectly. I love the star background and on my monitor, the colors look navy, just like you were going for! Great job Kelly.
ReplyDeleteI love both sets. You did a great job with Renee’s challenge, love the colors and your coloring. Beautiful! I always leave them both not colored .
ReplyDeleteI personally think you did wonderful with the challenge!! Love the papers....perfect background! Sponging and coloring is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteKelly, I love how you made this look so vintage with the shading/distressing! So beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh this is just lovely! I am going to pin it as I just got this stamp set in the mail this week and can't wait to try it out! Thanks for such lovely inspiration Kelly!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great Halloween card, Kelly! Love the stars on the background and the fab image! Have a nice weekend! Hugs
ReplyDeleteAdorable Halloween card, Kelly! Who says Halloween should be scary. I love that the cat is NOT black. And the "vintaged-up" look is just perfect!
