Today kicks off an all new CR84FN Color Challenge AND it is our ONE year anniversary celebration as an official Color Challenge site! I can't thank the entire CR84FN DT gals enough for all their hard work over the past year, all the talented designers who play along and all of you who take the time to leave such encouraging comments :) I am looking forward to another AMAZING creative year with all of you! For the next two weeks, we will be playing with the vibrant color combination shown in the graphic below. The beautiful photos were provided courtesy of CR84FN's DT Member very own Deborah Frings. Thanks so much Deborah!
Using a combination of stamps, inks, paints, rub ons and various die cuts, I made my first She Art canvas project which I learned how to make in Christy Tomlinson's She Art workshops. If you are looking to learn some fun and fabulous techniques, I highly recommend taking her workshops! They are AWESOME!
These vibrant colors are just what I needed to get me going with this project! Thanks Deb ;)
The little dimensional flowers were made using fun patterned paper from the Pink Paislee Nantucket and Phantom collections along with the PTI Beautiful Blooms dies and more Stampin' Up rubons:
Supplies Used:
Stamps: Flourishes Birthday Pennants, Butterflies and Blossoms, MFT Typewriter Alphabet
Patterned Paper: Pink Paislee Vintage Vogue, Phantom, Parisian Anthology, Nantucket
Die Templates & Machine: Spellbinders Nested Lacey Pennants, Grand Calibur, PTI Beautiful Blooms
Other: Ranger colorwash sprays, PTI ink, Liquitex paints and inks, Gesso, Memento

Mona!! OMG, I ADORE this!!! AWESOME, simply AWESOME!
I LOVE how this turned out Mona. I love the she art look. Hallmark has some prints that are flat and are not nearly as awesome as the 3D effect you get from something hand made. You need to sell these now. It it beautiful. I love the combination of stamps, rub on's and paint. Amazing. :)
Happy New Year!
Hugs~
