It’s week 3 of my Guest Designer spot on the Splitcoast Color Challenge. The colors this week are gray, lagoon & honey w/ the dessert being a masculine card. So I thought it would be a good time to make a Father’s Day card.
I love the look of Prismacolor pencils on toned card stock..usually I’ll pick kraft but since one of the colors is gray, I used it instead. After putting the lighthouse in my Misti, I stamped it w/ Memento, colored w/ Prismas, then overstamped w/ Versafine. Actually, no black pencils were used on the lighthouse..just very dark grays, lt grays & white. I finished off the scene by adding the water & seagulls then added a white mat on top. The greeting had to be split to fit the vertical pennant.
Here’s a look at the inside. Since my dad lives a handful of states away, I thought this greeting was perfect. But since he was in the Air Force, I hope he doesn’t think I moved him to the Navy.
The colors of Prismas I used are:
PC938 White, PC1077 Colorless Blender, PC917 Sunburst Yellow, PC1060 Cool Gray 20%, PC1061 Cool Gray 30%, PC1063 Cool Gray 50%, PC1067 Cool Gray 90%, PC1088 Muted Turquoise, PC1022 Mediterranean Blue, PC1027 Peacock
