Here Comes The Sun


Good Morning bloggers! It’s Saturday, and time for another new challenge at Make It Colourful. This week’s fun theme is to Colour Your Embellishments. Being able to change the colour of your decorations gives you more versatility with your embellies, plus you can get a more co-ordinated look with your project.

This is my DT card: the image is done with Copics and I used some of the shades used in the image to colour my embellies, but you could always use another medium to add or change the colours. These are the embellishments that I coloured or changed colour:


Chipboard corners – coloured with YG67
Chipboard ribbon slider – coloured with Y15 and YR04
Sequin flowers – coloured with Y15 and Y17, and covered over with Copic Spica pen
Flower gems stuck on the chipboard corners – added YG63 to change their colour from bright yellow to a nice yellow-green
Mats under the image, yellow square DP and sentiment – white card edged with YG63 and YG67
 

Mats under the image, papers and sentiment coloured in YG63 and YG67



Chipboard corner coloured with YG67, and bright yellow flower gem toned down with some YG63

Chipboard ribbon slider coloured with Y15 and YR04, then coloured over with Copic Spica. and white flower sequins coloured with Y15 and Y17 (2 in each shade)

Just lovely, Carole - and the title has had me humming the Beatles tune since I first read it! It's stuck in my head!!! So very apt, too - "Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces.... And I say, it's alright". Seeing your gorgeous colouring and this pretty image all done up in her yellow frock - definitely brings a smile and definitely "all right".
Higs, Bron
