#1069 – STB: Neutral Colors Only

Hello and welcome! Welcome to yet another challenge at Seize the Birthday challenge. It’s always an Anything Goes challenge with an optional topping provided by our leading ladies. This time’s leading lady, I, have chosen the topping as ‘Neutral Colors Only‘.

I was incredibly inspired by this card by Jennifer Rustioni. Her brilliance in coloring is just jaw dropping. Here’s my attempt at something similar, but using browns and blacks –

I used the kitty-in-the-box image from My Favorite Things I Knead You, stamped it in a light brown over a light brown cardstock. I then colored it using Faber Castell Polychromos pencils. I then added in some thought bubbles before stamping the sentiment from My Favorite Things Cat-itude on it. I the trimmed it down the panel and adhered it over a kraft cardstock.

I must admit, while coloring, I forgot about the neutral color requirement and colored the kitty’s ribbon red. It was looking pretty great, but I realized the error while adhering it over the base cardstock. I had to color over it in green and then black to cover up the red!

So anyway, that’s my card. I’m also going to join these challenges –
