My First Color Throwdown

I stumbled across yet another color challenge and HERE is the link. It's called Color Throwdown, which is quite appropriate because the colors were tricky. The CTMH equivalent colors (as near as I can figure) are Moonstruck, Key Lime and Baby Pink. Yikes!

For starters, I don't even have those colors of cardstock. So I pulled out my ink pads and stared at them. I thought of stamping patterns to create paper and that's how I came up with the idea to make preggo's dress using paper piecing. First I brayered Key Lime onto white cardstock and then stamped the Moonstruck dots. Then I stamped the figure in black and cut out the dress.

I colored the face with pencils and the shoes and earrings and hands with markers. And let's talk about the surgery I performed to get those hands in place. It was me, tweezers, pokey tool, and glue. "Scapel....clamp...STAT!" But I did it. I cut those teeny tiny hands out and glued them over the dress.

For accessories I inked the edges of white Prima flowers with Moonstruck. The patterned paper is not CTMH. And who knows where I got the little flower brad centers.

Anyway I think I have had the most fun with this challenge of all the ones I've been doing.
