Blogger Challenge: Week 169/Friends with Flair

This week’s blogger challenge is a color challenge—blue, green, and brown. That combination made me think of nature and the outdoors, so I went with a tree image for my card.

I stamped the tree trio from Unity’s December Stampin’ Store Kit on a white panel and colored the image with Copic markers. I cheated just a tiny bit by coloring the hearts on the trees red with a Spica glitter pen, but I think that’s okay . . .

For the rest of the card, I pieced together pieces of My Mind’s Eye Quite Contrary designer papers, using some scraps in the process. I used a big cloud patterned piece for most of the cardfront and lined up a trio of coordinating scraps along the bottom. A piece of corduroy ribbon hides the seam. I attached the image panel, then stamped the sentiment next to it, right above the ribbon.

For more projects using these colors, you can check out what the rest of the challenge players have created. Links to their blogs are in the sidebar on the right. And, for more Unity inspiration, visit the list of Friends with Flair players on the Unity blog.
