COLOR THROWDOWN #138

I'm having a little break from the normal "Stampin' Up! only" transmission, to share some of the results of my weekend away, armed with my Prismacolor pencils and some cute stamped line images.  I have always loved colouring .... as a child, I was never bored if I had a colouring book and pencils, and I still find it therapeutic and relaxing.

Here is this week's challenge at The Color Throwdown:


I have chosen to pair Night of Navy with Real Red .... I was inspired to use this kind-of-nautical colour combination, after colouring my little subject's top in red and white stripes.  Here is the simple, but I think pretty cute, card I came up with:


Stamps: Trendy Trees, Sugar Nellie Stamps "Day Dreamer"
Card: Night Of Navy textured, Real Red, Whisper White
DSP: Celebrations Designer Series Paper
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Night of Navy stampin' pad
Other: Square Lattice embossing folder, Pinking Hearts border punch, Word Window punch, Modern Label punch, Prismacolor Pencils and Odourless Mineral Spirits, paper snips, stampin' dimensionals

    Oh how CUTE is this!!! You've done so well with the colouring too! I have a complete set of prismacolour pencils that I got for my birthday a few years back and I can't colour to save myself with them! I sooooooo wish I could though!

    Love the nautical theme, I was wearing just those colours myself yesterday. You have been a busy little bee with all your posting! I am enjoying your break with SU, great little girly images with the added flourish of your talented colouring in.
