How about a yummy Color Challenge this noon hour - a little deep red, ivory (or another neutral), and some Olive Green? This Daily Challenge at Flourishes is one other way to win this week from the New Releases for August. Take a look at what I made!
Tomatoes are one of our family's favourite summer "fruits" or vegetables - depending on how you think of them. Whatever they are they are yummy! We enjoy them right off the vine, with BLT's, or made up into spaghetti sauce or salsa...and I can't wait till I see them turn from that green to tinges of red. I planted them late this year, so I have a bit to wait for that to happen.
I thought it would be fun to do a flip card again, I'll show you some different views. I really wish the pictures would have shown the coloring better, it's so much more realistic in real life.
The coloring is done with Copics (a range of R01, R02, R14, R27, YG91, YG93, YG95, YG99, and Y00 on the tomatoes). See the sentiment on the inside? "La Bella Vita". I think it translates to The Beautiful Life - yes google translate confirms that :)
And now for the flip of the card.... The papers are the very lovely Basic Grey Origins...still some packs available in the store too!
Inside I stamped the three Italian herbs that are in the set in Memento Ink - Bamboo Leaves.
I love how these herbs look - basil, rosemary and thyme, and the sentiment - "Season everything with JOY". Lovely isn't it?
So be sure to join in on the challenge with us...I know Stacy and Julie have samples from the Color Challenge for you too. Be sure to use the code FLLC811A for Online Galleries, and link at the Flourishes Blog.
