A Passion for Markers BlogSpot Challenge #701 - Favourite Colour Combination

Hello and a happy Tuesday to you all I hope that you have a lovely week ahead! 

I'm here today to let you know that a new challenge has started over on the Passion for Markers Blog.

This weeks challenge is being sponsored by Dr Digis House of Stamps

The theme this week chosen by Elaine for Team 2 is to Use a Favourite Colour Combination.

I chose to use the image Octavia the Ostrich, I think she's just fabulous and reminds me of a childhood TV program called Pipkins where Octavia the Ostrich had a French accent but in my card design she is back home in the desert of Africa.

I resized the image to suit an A6 (UK size) card and coloured her in with my Promarkers( see below for colours) before fussy cutting her out.

I have so many favourite combinations of colours but I decided to use my favourite combination of distress oxides to create a desert sky for the background.

I've blended 5 inks and then splattered this with water to give texture to the sky. Next I die cut a hillside from Neenah Desert Storm sky and added just a touch of brown ink to this before adhering to the bottom of my card panel.

I stamped a sentiment onto the hillside in brown ink and then splattered the whole panel with white acrylic paint.

The sun was created from 2 circles of yellow card and a layer of vellum layered with foam squares and just a touch of yellow ink blended around the edge of the yellow card for definition. 

Don't forget there will be a prize for the Winner of the challenge - there are more details over on the Passion for Markers blog.

I really hope that you have enjoyed my card today and will drop by again to see my next project and don't forget to join in with the challenge over on the Passion for Markers blog

Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day !
