So I got these new digis from Deedee's Digis and I've been anxious to color them and design with them. There's a nice sketch to use on the challenge that started last Monday Nov. 1 over at Deedee's challenge blog HERE. I think I have about 3 hours to get this entered into the challenge.
I ended up taking pictures inside the house which I try not to do, but the colors are right on this time! Good Stuff! I did not use a flash, but I set up the card under my tensor lamp.
This card is for Thanksgiving of course.....The pilgrim image might have given it away! I used a cute image from Deedee's called "Thankful for You". It comes with 4 sentiments. I used one on the inside, and one on the front, but I needed to rearrange the placement of the words, so I generated it in Photoshop. If you click on the Deedee's Digi badge on my sidebar you can look at her wonderful selection of images. This month she's got all of her Autumn digis on sale for $1.00! What a great deal! Check it out!
This image was colored with Photoshop and gel pens and copics. I love combining the different coloring mediums! All the papers are from S.U. except the white that I printed on. That is Neenah. MS. punch for the leaves.....S.U. punch for the small flowers.....Marvy punch for the large flower. Antique bronze brads are from my stash.
Close-up of the sweet little couple. These are actually two separate images that I merged together. They make such a cute couple!
This is one of the sentiments in the digi set. I used a MS punch for the green and an S.U. punch for the flowers.I believe this will be just in the knick of time for the challenge. Truth is that I love coloring Deedee's images whether or not there's a challenge going on! Thanks for stopping by and have a great and blessed week ahead!
Oh look at this -- such a lovely Thanksgiving card, Kathy! The blues and greens really pop against the browns, and you colored the image so wonderfully. I love all the flowers and the leaves -- such wonderful accents! I'm so very thankful that you're enjoying the images and the challenges -- thank you for your kindness! Hugs, Deedee

Wow, your coloring is phenom and I am loving those flowers!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Kathy - this card is beautiful. You are definately good with the techniques of the computer - to edit the sentiment and to be able to combine the 2 images so perfectly - WOW - I would not be able to do that!!! I love how you colored the images with your copics - and your color combination is absolutely right on for this card. I love the inside of the card as well - I must take the time to do that - I tend to get lazy with that part but it sure does finish the card off nicely. This is a stunning creation - I love it!!
ReplyDeleteHey Kathy...couldn't find an email button for you, so I thought I'd answer your question here about the paper house on my blog today. It's simply patterned paper from Webster's Pages! :) Thanks for stopping by! Always appreciate your comments!
