Day 18: Cross Complementary Color Scheme

The Cross Complementary colors in this are Orange, Blue-Violet, and Blue-Green

i think im gonna use color palette challenges to theme my next yarn projects.

I forgot to post these from... was it yesterday? Or maybe Saturday?

Anyway, I started messing around with my Helisma tarot card design and got the rough layout done, but couldn’t decide on the color scheme. Whatever I ultimately end up with will complement Banon’s card.

MarkerPOP! Challenge #57

THE PRIZE:  LAWN FAWN – WINTER PENGUIN STAMP SET AND WINTER PENGUIN DIE

One entry will be chosen at random to receive our prize. Three additional entries will be chosen for the ‘Top 3′ based on their amazing coloring skills. The prize winner and top three can all proudly post their brag buttons on their blogs for the world to see!

International winners will be responsible for shipping costs if they choose to claim their prize.

For this challenge I created a wintery Christmas card using the Lawn Fawn – Winter Penguin stamp set along with the matching Winter Penguin die.  I stamped the penguin in Memento – Tuxedo Black ink onto X-Press It blending paper and colored him with Copics: C5, C4, C2 W2, W1 R39, R37, R35 G28, G07, G03 YR18, YR14, YR12

I stamped the little snowflakes from the same stamp set with a light blue ink onto some X-Press It blending paper.  I cut that piece out using a die from the Lawn Fawn – Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables die set.  I also cut a partial sheet of light blue from the Lawn Fawn – Peace, Joy, Love 6×6 paper pad with the same die to use as ice.  I stamped ‘happy’ and ‘holidays’ from the same Winter Penguin stamp set.  The little red heart was cut out using the smallest die from the Lawn Fawn – Hearts die set.

The red background piece is from the same Lawn Fawn paper pad and is cut out using a die from the Lawn Fawn – Small Stitched Rectangle Stackables die set.

The card base is the Lawn Fawn – Navy Woodgrain Notecard.

Everything was adhered using the Crafter’s Companion – Adhesive Runner and dimensional foam adhesive.

I added a bow using the MarkerPOP – Sweet Holiday baker’s twine.  I don’t think this twine could be any more perfect for Christmas!  To finish everything off I added some Wink of Stella Glitter Pen in Clear to the penguin, snowflakes, and heart.  I also added some Glossy Accents to the penguin’s beak and the heart for some shine.

My project for today shows lots of green using the Paper Smooches – Blossoming Buds stamp set.  I stamped everything, besides ‘lovely’, in Memento – Tuxedo Black ink onto X-Press It Blending Paper.  I used every green marker that I had to color everything.  The Copic colors are: G28, G24, G21, G20, G07, G05, G03, G02, G00 YG25, YG23, YG21, YG09, YG07, YG05, YG03

The green and white patterned paper on the card base is from the Doodlebug – Kraft in Color (Kraft) 6×6 paper pad.

I adhered everything using the Crafter’s Companion – Adhesive Runner and foam dimensional adhesive.

I wanted to add a little something extra so I added some CraftKin – Lemonade baker’s twine around the top layer.  I didn’t want it to cover the stamping so I poked two holes on either side of the image and fed the twine around it.

The small sequins are the Pretty Pink Posh – Clear 4mm Cupped.  I also added some green rhinestones from my stash.

To finish everything off I added some sparkle to all the coloring with the Wink of Stella Glittler Pen in Clear.
