mft's color challenge 184

I'm afraid I'm turning into a broken record because I'm about to repeat myself AGAIN...the cardmaking challenges at MFT are making me feel so creative!

Today's color challenge was especially exciting for me! Let me tell you more...

Here's the palette for the challenge...

These are gorgeous colors but not colors I would normally use. I love pink and orange and rainbow, LOL! But I did it, I used this palette and honestly, I'm so smitten with how the card turned out!

I started by stamping the castle from the MFT Fairy Tale Friendship set in Cement Gray on an A2 white panel. 

Next I die cut the MFT Arched Happy Birthday above the castle. 

I stamped the clouds from the MFT Barnyard Birthday set in Blue Yonder.

I adhered the panel to a folded card and then inlaid the letters for "Happy Birthday". I used the ink cubes to color each letter because I'm silly and never have the right colored cardstock on hand. LOL!

I did a teeny bit of coloring on the castle with Copic markers.

I stamped the dragon in Sour Apple, die cut him and colored him with Copic markers as well.

Here are the Copic markers I used:

• Castle - T2
• Castle Banners - B41
• Dragon - YG03, YG01, B23 & B41

Finally I foam mounted him over the castle. And I couldn't resist adding a tiny bit of pink on his cheek & a clay heart sprinkle in his hands.

I hope you are inspired to join in this color challenge! Pop over to the MFT blog to learn more and thanks so much for stopping by!

Hugs!
