Copic Creations Challenge: Saturated Colors

The design team over at the Copic Creations Challenge blog wants to see your Copic saturated colors.  Belles 'n Whistles is sponsoring this challenge and offering a very generous $25 gift certificate for use in their store to a randomly selected entry.  You can find out more about this challenge and its sponsor here.

As saturated colors are the truest form of those colors, I think it's fair to suggest that you consider your first box of 8 crayons:  blue, purple, orange, red, yellow, green, brown and black.  They're the very basic set and would likely be considered the purest, most true form of that color.

With that in mind, I began to fill my Elisabeth Bell Story Time image that Belles 'n Whistles so graciously provided.  I used my Copic multiliner 0.2 to extend the trunk of the tree a bit further than the stamped image.  Here's my version of Story Time all decked out in what I consider to be saturated colors . . .

I've mentioned here before that I'm not a big pastel kind of person, but these truer colors are right up my alley.  I love using my Copic colors to fill an image in a realistic fashion.  Having so many great Copic shades helps me to achieve a more realistic image that I enjoy looking at.  Gotta love it!

I've layered both sides of Basic Grey's Jovial flannel pajamas with Bazzill cardstock to form my side open card.  A Spellbinders Fleur De Lis Square shapes my image.  I've added simple embellishments by using several 3/4" and 7/8" circle punches, Bo Bunny Timepiece Jewels and Hero Arts' Buttons.  I get alot of use out of this every day Outlines Rubberstamp Company sentiment.

Here's a full view of my card front . . .

I feel the need to dance about how easily my background clouds came together.  Just one marker, a torn piece of paper and about 90 seconds is all it took!  I sure hope that I can do that again - LOL!!!  I could hardly believe that I did it myself!
