Tuesday Alchemy Challenge #36: Color Recipe - Magenta, Olive & Teal

It's time for color, beautiful oh, so lovely color at Tuesday Alchemy!

You can use one, two or all three along with neutrals.

If you use all three, you can earn an extra entry (See blog for details.)

Our sponsors are Di's Digi Downloads and Broken Box Designs.

I chose to use one color because teal is just one of my favorites. What's your favorite color? Is it any that are in the challenge this week?

{ IDEA }

Alter your chipboard shapes, especially if you need them to fit with your scheme or theme like I did with this house shape.

Emboss it! I removed a layer of the chipboard backing, so it would be thinner & would accept the embossing better.

Paint it! I distressed it with teal paint to bring more teal into the look of it and add extra detail.

Embellish it! Add embellishes to it like these silver brads & grosgrain ribbon.

I recently was picked as a winner from Sassy Studio Designs, so I had my choice of two digital stamps. This card features one of them.

I'm not very skilled at coloring, so I usually just print out the digital stamp and add details to it, such as the orange skirt & twine belt that she sports.

Are you good at coloring in digis? What's your medium of choice?
