Colouring Backgrounds with MIC

Happy Saturday everyone and thanks for popping in!  This week's super fun challenge at Make It Colourful is to color backgrounds. Our fabulous sponsor is Magnolia-licious.  Here's my card featuring Circus Tilda available at Magnolia-licioius and the Kissing Booth from the new Carnival collection at Make-it-Crafty.

Images were coloured with Copics and I used colours that are a bit brighter than my usual colour palette so the images would pop.  Can't remember the name of the DPs I used but the pearls, metal butterflies and Prima flowers are from my stash.  The beautiful lasercut chipboard swirly corners are from Make-it-Crafty and they are just perfect.


Now for my background: I added clouds using Tim Holtz Distress Inks.  First I sponged some Tumbled Glass DI throughout the whole background and then I used the darker Broken China DI and sponged around using a scalloped Spellbinder die as my template.  This is my first time making clouds and I'm very pleased with how it turned out.


I'm entering the following:

• Crafts and Me ~ Anything Goes
• The Crafty Pad ~ Use a Digi
• Little Red Wagon ~ Butterflies

Don't forget to checkout the jaw-dropping projects the rest of my teamies at Make it Colourful have lined up for you for inspiration.  Their links are in my side-bar.  Looking forward to seeing your creations so hope you get a chance to play along with us.


MWAH,
Maria
