You Color My World

Hello Again!

This card will be entered into the Challenge at the Mod Squad, hosted by my online BFF, Judy Woodland.  The Challenge is appropriately titled Magazine Madness. 

O. M. Gee!

My card initially started with flowers.  They were crumpled up and tossed.  Then I went with starfish and seashells......yup they also were crumpled up and tossed. 

Color....I just went with color! 

 
Using Papertrey Ink's Hexagon Cover Plate, I cut out a black frame and then all the different shades of colors in pink, yellow, orange, green, teal, blue and purple.  Then I glued the black frame and all of the little hexagon colors onto chipboard to give it a little more oomph!

 
The sentiment is from A life She Loved, stamp set by Taylored Expressions.  Stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, background lightly colored with a BG10 Copic Marker, Cool Shadow.  The word COLOR also uses Copic Markers and is topped off with a bit of Dazzling Details from Stampin' Up!  Their 'brand' of Stickles.  I poked 2 holes to add some plain white knotted ribbon and also left the inside a blank white, thought the contrast might stand out.
 
This was very challenging for me.....but I think I am happy with my result.
 
Thanks so much for coming by.
 
Enjoy~~

  2. Seriously, this is soooo very amazing. The sentiment goes amazingly well with the colors. Did you really tie knots into the ribbon to hold the sentiment in place? It's not an illusion?

  4. Really gorgeous Donna! My first card didn't turn out either. However, I entered it anyway. I had so much time invested I couldn't start over. I bet your other two were just as amazing. But I'm soooo glad you posted this one! I love it.
