Time for a "Subtly Yours" color combo from the Dynamic Duos Color Challenge:
These soft colours called for a more whimsical card this week. Luckily, there is lots of inspiration at home...
Yes, he's been known to help himself to socks and other unmentionables... He gets his own stocking at Christmas, though. Kinda like this:
I took a class last week from Krista Schneider, on using Derwent Inktense watercolour pencils. Lots of fun! Here, the stamped image is coloured with pencils, then softened with a Dove blender, then further details added with the pencils again. The snap-shot frame and sentiment come from Lil'Inker Designs. That sock stamp is from Paper Smooches, coloured to match the card.
Now that you've admired that card, here's the reject! I tried to make a snow-globe using Flower Soft, but it was an epic fail... I do like the look of the pencils on a coloured background paper, though.
Now I'm sending you off to the Dynamic Duos blog!
