ISS August Color Challenge

Taylor picked a georgous color combo the I would have never thought of myself.

Dark green, turqouise, lime amd naturals white are the colors I took from it.

Here is the image that inspired the color challenge.

For my sample I used Sophie. She can be found on the In Style Stamps website. I made a Post It note mini motebook using my bind it all and a couple of chipboard coasters.

Sophie was colored using Copic Marker color. Her swim suit is B01, B04 & B06, Skin E50 & E11, Snorkel and Flippers RV13 & RV19 and finally her Hair E30, E31 & E33. I tied some dark green, white and navy blue ribbon on the coil binding and popped up Sophie for a bit of dimension. Take a trip on over to the ISS blog for more peaks at the DT's color chellenge samples.

As new Design Team members for CCS Laura has conjured up some question for us to answer, to help you all get to know us a wee bit better...

1.Are you more of a Card Maker, or Scrapbooker? CARDMAKER

2.Describe your craft room/area to us. (messy,neat,photos?) SUPER ORGANIZED

3.If you could only have TWO tools in your craft tool kit what would they be. MY WIZARD and SUPER SHARP SCISSORS

4.Have you ever been on a DT before? YES, RILEY and CO., IN STYLE STAMPS PROMO TEAM, HANNA STAMPS and THE STAMPING BOUTIQUE.

5.What can we look forward to from you this summer? YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT MY CRAZY BRAIN MAY COME UP WITH BUT I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE TO COLOR WITH MY COPICS SO I MAY JUST TRY MY HAND AT CREATING SOME TYPE OF COPIC TUTORIAL.

6.What are your thoughts for the stamp set DT4 gets to design? THE FIRST WORD THAT COMES TO MIND IS FLATTERED, I AM SO HONORED TO BE ASKED TO HELP OUT WITH SUCH A PROJECT.

NOW on to the important stuff. I used the CCS set "Arms of Jesus". I so loved coloring this sweet image. I used the following Copic colors... Cross Y13, Y17 & Y19, Bears Fur E42, E43, E44 & E47, Bonnet G24 & G29. The Grass was airbrushed using G82 along with the Sky using B32. I punched a circle then used it as a mask to create a sun/moon image. I used my Wizard and Nestibilitieses to cut and layer my image along with the flourish. I added some brads and Prima Flowers and there you have it!
