Hi! It's been a while since I've been able to play in the challenges, but I'm here today at any rate! I made my card for today's color challenge: regal rose, pink pirouette and melon mambo, with neutrals of choice. Dessert was to add something round. Well, I had had enough to eat, so I chose not to have dessert (unless you count the half pearls that I used).
I've been designing a card for a baby shower gift. The grandmother of the baby grew up next door to me, and we are friends and the baby's great-grandmother is a friend of my mom's. So my mom and I are going in together on the shower gifts. I'm also making a card to go with the gifts. Although we don't know yet what sex the baby will be, we think it's a boy based on the parents wish list at babys R us. Well, having made images for four cards that could be either/or last week, including one that I'm going to use for the shower, I decided today to go with a card for a baby girl, since the challenge colors took me that way! It's going into my stash.
Anyhoo, this baby stamp has been sitting on my desk for a few days now (well, OK, more like a week; don't tell me you've never done that, too! LOL!!# So I decided to use the stamp that was right in front of me.
While watercoloring the image, I found melon mambo and regal rose to be very similar. I used all three pinks, but I don't really think there is much difference, although I went heavy with the melon mambo to give some contrast. I did bring in some yellow for the baby's hair #I really couldn't envision a pink haired baby!) and some rich razzleberry for the background flowers. "Lullabye" is in the background in sahara sand.
TFL and have a fun day!
