Today I have a card that is a bit out of my comfort zone. I don't usually do monochromatic cards. I prefer lots of color. But A Day for Daisies is having a challenge #78 to use a monochrome color scheme & I thought I would give it a try. Live dangerously, right? So I made a birthday card for my son-in-law using this beautiful baby giraffe. I colored him with Prismacolor pencils & gamsol & the bow is from Memory Box & the sentiment is framed with a Spellbinder die.
Have a great Tuesday!
He's got, Personality! Fabulous! Adorable Sherri!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Pam. And you've done the image justice with that beautiful monochromatic coloring - and created a great masculine BD card for Jon. I like the idea of a die cut bow rather than a ribbon bow - good idea : ) It all looks wonderful on that bg paper, Sherri. Great card!

ReplyDeleteI saw this image before and I think it's just about my favorite of all A Day for Daisies images. You did super coloring with your pencils and Gamsol. You card has so much character I wouldn't have even thought about it being monochromatic. It's a great card for your son-in-law!
