Welcome to my blog. Today I am featuring a fun challenge at Color Dare. Below is the "Six Pack" color board. You must select at least three colors but you may include all six if you choose. Black, white, metallic, and neutrals are available in addition to the colors in the Six Pack. Be cautious - use only colors (or a close match) specified on the color board.
Rosy, Lemonade, and Sapphire were my selections. Free elements in black, white, and tan were also used. Not having the specific colors named the closest matches from my collection of ink pads plus Copic markers were used.
I was shopping my stash when I saw this old stamp set. I imagined some of the challenge colors in the rooster's feathers. After stamping the rooster, his image was colored with Copics and then stamped with the checkerboard pattern to "ground" him. I had no Rosy or Sapphire cardstock so applied ink from ink pads using a direct-to-paper technique. I like the texture-like result of the blue panel.
I thought the sentiment from a different stamp set worked well with the crowing rooster so stamped it and popped it up with 1 mm foam tape and then added a companion sentiment inside the card that says, "It's Your Birthday". Once the layers were assembled, they were adhered to a white card base. The sunflowers, also part of the stamp set, were stamped, colored with Copics, fussy-cut, and then added with 2 mm foam tape.
