The Stamping Chef vs Simply Betty Stamps #2 Bite me

For this challenge  I picked the TSC image to use ...  "Bite me"

The image it not one I would normally use, but I like to challenge myself to use different images..

The latest thing I am doing in my challenges, is challenging myself to use the pile of papers
I have that have come out of old craft magazines,

and use their colours as an inspiration for the colours I use to colour the image.

 

I found some papers that were green with pink roses, the reverse side was plain green.

 

I covered the card blank with the roses, and then mounted a strip of the green on to a piece of black card, and the stuck to the middle of the card. 

I wasn't sure what colours to use for the hair / top, but as I had use the black card, I decided to use black for the hair, and a lighter shade (grey) grey for her top.

The colours I used were

Skin:  vanilla, satin & almond

Hair:  Black & cool grey 4 & 5.

Top :  Cool grey 1,2 & 3

Roses:  Fuchsia & carnation pink.

I went around the edges of the skulls and web with cool grey 1.

 

Once coloured in, I cut the image out using a oval die and then cut a mat out of black card.
