CCEE ~ Red for Anne!

Hi friends!

It's time for a new challenge over at the CCEE Stampers blog,

brought to us by Anne ~ our hostess for May.

Her challenge is "Red for Anne", her favorite color!

For my card, I wanted to create a card with my Neat and Tangled

 Better Together and use red as the main color. 

Red is so vibrant and rich ~ a perfect compliment to give your card a POP!

This card was a bit of a challenge, and a triumph :)

I absolutely ADORE this card!

One of the things I'm trying to learn is skin colors.
I tend to lean towards the peaches and light skin colors because it's easy!

I color with prismacolor markers (and now Azure markers!)

but do have a few Copics for coloring skin (E00, E01, E11)
I had to use a few different prismacolors to create all the friends here :)

 

I stamped out the images and did a bit of masking to create the 

friends standng next to each other.  

Based on the direction of the animels they are holding,

I added them right to left to allow them not to overlap.

 For the sentiment, I fussy cut the word 'you'.

I did buy the matching dies for this set but the word you didn't have one ..

and that's okay! Improvise!

You can see what the rest of the CCEE Stampers created for Red for Anne

this week by heading over to the blog.

Thanks for stopping by!
Big hugs, bigger blessings ♥

I'll enter this card to:  WordArtWednesday -
