October Rainbow Card Challenge 2020

Howdy!

Today over at the Rainbow Card Challenge Blog. We have a NEW challenge! That is to use Smoky Slate in your monochromatic card.

This is my card for the challenge! What do y'all think?

Stamps: TE Labels of Love II, Art Impressions More Candy

Paper: CTMH White Daisy

Ink: CTMH Intense Black

Accessories: Johnson & Johnson Baby Oil, Dylusions Ink Spray Slate Grey, Prismacolor Premier 70% Warm Grey, 50% Warm Grey, 30% Warm Grey, 90% Warm Grey, Beige, Light Peach, Pink Rose, Carmine Red, Orange, Pumpkin Orange, Recollections Halloween, Fun Flock Plain Ol' Black

For this card, I used a stencil and some ink spray to create the background. And for my cute spider, I stamped her out. Then I colored her in with my colored pencils. Once the coloring was complete. I then blended out the pencils using baby oil and my Fantastix.

As for the embellishment next to my sentiment. I created that too. I used a die cut spider that I have. I also used my Xyron machine twice. By doing this I was able to put the fun flock on easier and to make my spider into a sticker.

Today is the 2nd day I am participating in The Daily Marker 30 Day Challenge! I have found it to be great motivation to work on my coloring. Have you had a chance to play along?

For today's card, I started out by creating a mask for the mouse. Then I stamped it onto the card base. Next, I placed the mask on top of the image and stenciled in a scene. When I was done creating the scene, I removed the mask. Next, I noticed that there was a bit of white space, where it wasn't needed. That is why I started by creating the shadow. I then used shimmer brushes to color in the jelly beans. And then, I moved my way into coloring with markers. This is the darkest, I've colored the mice in. Although, I do like it, I wouldn't go so dark again. If you scroll underneath this card picture, you will find a close up of the mouse and jelly beans. That way you will be able to see the sparkle better.
