Copic Creations Orange Challenge

Copic Creations is featuring the color orange in their latest challenge (here).  Tiddly Inks, home of Curly Qs, Annie and Lilly Beans digital images and papers, is sponsoring this challenge.

I've inked up a fun Motivet Chef Hilda image of a hippo that's been hoping to invite someone special for a surprise meal.

The Cool Gray family of Copics has a hint of blue in it and so seemed to be the best choice to use on a hippo.  That hint of blue also gives it a very cool tone so it's a great gray family to use for cold, metal things, like the tray and lid that Hilda is carrying.  (See an example of all four Copic Gray color families here.)

I know, I know . . . Chefs wear white.  Orange is associated with warmth and is said to increase your food cravings.  It stimulates enthusiasm and creativity.  So, Chef Hilda needs to wear orange.  I did let her have a "white" hat with just a touch of orange shadows reflecting from her orange outfit.

A Spellbinders scalloped rectangle die, Anna Griffin patterned paper, Offray simply sheer ribbon, and Basic Gray colored buttons helped to build this card that shows my attempt at featuring some of the Copic colors of orange.
