Colourful Verona

ORANGE, GREEN, PURPLE,

BLACK and WHITE. 

Now I know this collection of colours screams "Halloween", but me being such a rebel, I decided not to make a Halloween card for the Queen Kat Designs blog hop this week!  As part of the Hop, my card is posted on the Whimsical Ink Sorority blog and if you'd like to do the hop just start here and follow the links.


It's so long since I brought the lovely Verona out to play from my stamp stash that I thought I'd use her for today's project.

This fabulously wild piece of colourful paper has been languishing in my stash for a long time - I just didn't want to use it up, but it was just so perfect for today's challenge as it has all the right colours in the design.

I coloured Verona with a mixture of Copics and Promarkers, keeping the background very pale to emphasise the main image. Verona is such an elegant, chic and serene mermaid and I love the contrast with the wildly eclectic background paper. I added a piece of this lovely shiny orange ric rac ribbon from my stash and coloured some white flowers with an orange Promarker to match the paper. The fronds were cut with a Martha Stewart punch from white card and coloured to match the image. The final touch was adding Diamond Stickles to the flowers, the frills on Verona's outfit and the bubbles in the background.

Hope to see you again soon when I'll be bringing you another project with a different theme - til then Happy Crafting!
