Guest Designer for Colorful Optiins May 2024 Challenge - Royal Blue

Hello there.  I’m excited to be back with a second guest designing (GD) post today.  This time it’s at Colorful Options (CO) for their May challenge where ROYAL BLUE is the colour of the month.  If you are not wild about that colour, a rainbow option is always available.  Here’s the challenge inspiration graphic. 

Ironically, GD this month at CO gave me deja vụ… check out my post from last May HERE to see why. 😉  Princess Kate wearing the gorgeous gown in the challenge graphic above was the inspiration this year and I used the new fashion products from Whimsy Stamps (WS) latest release to create this “truly fabulous darling” card. 😂*lol*

The dress from Fashion Dresses and accessories from Fashion Accessories die sets were die cut from blue and/or black cardstock.  Added shading/details to the blue pieces fittingly with Royal Blue Copic Sketch marker B28.  Tried to add some sparkle to the dress with a white gel pen… didn’t work as well as I had imagined. 😂*lol*   Stamped the fashionista from Slay the Day with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on X-Press It paper and coloured with Copic Sketch markers before fussy cutting out.  

Copic markers used:

skin - E00/11/53/04 

lips/eye shadow - B12, FB2, B28 

fur - C00/1/3 

grounding/shadows - C00/0/1/2/3/4/5 

The Fashion Dress Form was die cut from silver shimmer paper.  The marquee was die cut from an A2 size Bristol panel then the cutout ombré ink blended with Blueprint Sketch distress ink.  The marquee frame was die cut from silver foil paper.  Trimmed strips from silver foil paper for the shelves.  Grey dye ink was then ink blended over a Giraffe stencil on the Bristol panel for the cobblestone wall.  White heat embossed the sentiments on black cardstock, then assembled the card onto a white card base to finish. 

I want to thank Makira and the CO team for this GD opportunity.  For more inspirations and/or to link up your entry, click HERE.   To see the April release from WS, click HERE.  WS products used for my card are linked below.  Thank you for stopping by.
