This month’s challenge at Aurora Wings is to try your hand at “No Lines Coloring,” (search "no lines coloring" for resources if you are unfamiliar with the technique) but if you find that more of a challenge than you're up to, you have the option of choosing a color scheme from our Color Bingo Card, either down, across or diagonally. We can't wait to see what you come up with
.
Our prizes each month will include: (To be eligible to win any of the prizes listed below, you must have a COLORED digital image or rubber stamped image on your project.)
- 1 (one) Artist's Choice Award Winner to be selected from entries using Aurora Wings digis ($20 GC and Badge)
- 1 (one) Random Winner ($20 GC)
- Top 3 Winners to be chosen by the DT ($10 GC and Badge)
I love the “no lines” technique, but it is
really something that I did not want to try this time around. I decided to
select from our Color Bingo card. I chose the top row, black/yellow/blue. I
also chose one of my favorite Aurora Wings digis, Chrysanthymum
Festival. She has been in my pile to color for a while and I finally got
her done.
Chrysanthemum Festival was colored with Copics.
I completed the coloring with accents from a glitter pen. She was the trimmed
and layered with Spellbinder’s 5”x7”
Matting Basics B on Stampin’ Up!’s
Pacific Point cardstock.
Copics used:
Skin: E000, 00, 04, 11, 21, & R20
Hair: C1, 3, 5, 7, 9, & Black 100
Mums and Butterflies:
B21, 24, 26, 29 &
Y15, 17, 18, 28
Background: W00, 0, 1, 2, Y15, & B21
I die cut Stampin’ Up!’s
Crushed Curry cardstock with Spellbinder’s 5”x7”
Mystical Embrace. This is a beautiful die. I know that I am going to get a
lot of use out of it. My designer paper that backs this die is something that I
received a while back as a gift therefore I have no idea who the company is.
These two layers were then backed by Stampin’ Up!’s Basic Black cardstock and
mounted on a 5”x7” card base in Pacific Point cardstock. The finishes touches
are some yellow flat-backed pearls from KaiserKraft.
I am so glad you stopped by today. I
wanted to remind you about our Clean and Simple Contest that is still going
on through June 30th on our Facebook Group
Page. I hope we see you little pieces of art in both places.
Thanks for your visit and if you have any
questions, please contact me.

You made such a striking creation with the black/blue/yellow color combo. I was blown away when I first saw these colors used on Chrysanthemum Festival image. Your coloring is spectacular as always, and the die and the paper just work so well together for a stunning result! I'm so glad to have you on my design team at Aurora Wings Challenge Blog, Aletha.
