I would like to share with you the card I made for the Color Challenge on The Outlawz, where the theme is "Where in the world are
you?" and your creation should be inspired by the colours of your country/flag.
As I live the the wonderfully diverse South Africa, I have a myriad of cultures to use as my inspiration and the colours of my flag are just wonderful:
DURBAN, largest 'Indian' city outside India. "DIVERSITY" is the one word that best
describes South Africa, and the Indian population in Durban have
contributed to the eclectic mix of cultures here. I have used one of my
very favourite images by Guylou, the beautiful "Fahri"...
I coloured the image using my alcohol markers using the colours of the flag.
The highlights were done with a white gel pen and some glitter flue was added for the bling.
The DP was some junk mail I received earlier in the week, and I thought it was just perfect for this image - all the ingredients needed for a delicious Indian Curry!
A black satin ribbon to depict the Indian ladies' beautiful and glossy black hair, and red gems to depict their love of bling. red is a colour very important in the Indian culture as it is traditionally used for weddings.
I would like to add this card to the following challenge too:
