Today I'm sharing my design team card for our new challenge over at As you See It where it's time for a colour challenge chosen by Jan:
I think this may be a tricky colour combo for some, although I did have a couple of ideas. I decided to go with another collection of kitties from 'Cutest Crew' - take a look:
Here's the low-down on today's card:
I used a piece of retired watercolour-effect DSP for my background, then layered the two shades of grey to create a diecut pawprint border and added a sentiment before stamping my kittens onto Basic White cardstock and colouring with my Stampin' Up' Blends in the challenge colours, using my light Basic Black Blend for some dark grey detailing. I added my row of kitties, along with a white twine bow, to my card, then added a sprinkling of diecut white butterflies around them, accenting each with a rhinestone that I coloured with m Azure Afternoon Blends marker:
Super cute! I seem to have made lots of cards featuring these kitties, which is ironic given that I am much more a dog person. I need to put this right and feature a few more of those puppies on future cards for sure.
Here is the visual summary of the key products used on today's project for you to pin for easy reference:
