This is color challenge number 8 over at Off The Wall Craftiness (OTWC). Here is the inspiration photo from which the blue and yellow color scheme was chosen.
This was a difficult challenge for me as I tend to be the queen of vibrant color. I am not accustomed to using such soft colors. Rather than going with the rain, baby shower, wedding concept I just used the colors for inspiration. I still kept my card on the edgy side. I used Smeared Ink's "chicks dig guns" rubber stamp set. I love this set! The images are awesome, the rubber is deeply etched, and the set arrives on a 8.5" x11" sheet of rubbery goodness. Of course, no project can ever run smoothly. My flesh-tone markers are sucked dry. I guess I've been doing more coloring than I realized! Time for refills. Although I didn't have my preferred flesh colors, I think the image turned out alright.
