Nearly late again (2)

The other challenge that I did on Sunday was from Sunny Challenges and Creations. This was a double challenge, a sketch and colour one. I will admit when I first looked at the colours chosen, I went oooooh! Melon Mambo, Tempting Turquoise, and Soft Suede with a neutral colour! How! Then I looked at the sketch and what other designers had created. I was inspired by Gwens card,  http://sunnychallenges.blogspot.com.au/  So why not go and have a look at what the designers have created, there are some great cards.

Here's the Sketch-

This is what I came up with-

Gwens card reminded me of a Art Exhibition that Morawa is hosting later on this month which is based on wheat. So as we have many pink skies around this area I decided to use the wheat as blowing in the wind, with a full moon, as we are currently seeing in our area now. I have sponged the colours Melon Mambo, Tempting Turquoise, and Soft Suede to make a sky appearance with an overlap of Tempting Turquoise and Melon Mambo to give the effect of the darker blue in the picture. The wheat is from Autumn Days stamp set and is stamped in Soft Suede onto Very Vanilla cardstock. The was created using the 2.5cm circle punch.I mounted the Very Vanilla onto Melon Mambo, then Soft Suede, (to represent dirt, and the male aspect of wheat) and used the Victoria 1.6cm Crochet Ribbon for the females involved in the wheat industry and mounted all onto Tempting Turquoise. I was rapt in the way all the colours went, and as I had a thank you card to make, I decided to use the same colours and sketch using the colours as I have in this card.

Here it is -

I used the Mixed Punch, and Pocket Silhouettes stamp sets, and retired Soft Suede Dotted Ribbon on this card. It never ceases to amaze, how the same colours can look so different from card to card.

Its getting late now so till next time.

Cheers and happy crafting,
