THE OUTLAWZ TUESDAY COLOUR CHALLENGE



And this is my interpretation:


The image, last weekend's freebie from Krista over at Saturated Canary, was printed onto off white coloured Bazzil cardstock (the one with the artist's canvas texture) and then coloured using Copics:

I love the textured look that technique produces!

To add a bit of 3D interest I added three flowers to the flowerpot and some layered flowers behind them:



To makeup the card I used the following from my stash:
white CS base card
royal blue card mat with punched border
ribbon border
gems
round shaped tag
peel off sentiment
sewn on sequin stars and beads

I'd like to add this card to the following challenges:

  5. Wow I wish I had seen this cute free image! You have colored it so wonderfully! The colors you chose are awesome. I love the textured look! Is it a technique or the type of paper that made it textured?

    1. Thanks Cathy - it's textured CS and a little extra technique to get it to look like that.
