Colors from a magazine

Have you ever stood in the grocery line, saw a magazine cover, and thought "WOW, I need to make a card with those colors!" Well, back in....I think it was the February issue, right?....I saw this Glamour Magazine cover and thought that very thing. Ever since, I've had that color combo in my head and finally got a chance to make some cards with those colors. Aren't they fun?

Anyhoo....onto the cards for today. {smile}

This first card is for today's OCL Sketch #7 over on the OCL blog:


I used my Vintage Roses set, stamped the images in Memento Tuxedo Black, colored the main image with Copics, and then added some clear Spica glitter accents on the fur on her hat, tassles, neckline, and on the flowers. All three nesties are up on separate layers of foam tape. On the Pink Passion and Brilliant Blue panels, I stamped some floral silhouettes with my Dandy Days set in Versamark and then added some sewing.

The next card is for last week's OCL Sketch #6:


I again used my Vintage Roses set but this time stamped it in Versafine Onyx Black and watercolored the image. The Blossom Nestie is up on foam tape and I added a blue rhinestone on the bow on top of the hat box. The colors on this card are Pacific Point, Bashful Blue, and PTI's Raspberry Fizz.

I think the colors on the first card are closer to the colors on the magazine cover....what do you think?

Have a GREAT day, and don't forget, if you play along in the sketch challenge you'll have a chance to win a free stamp set!
