King of the Jungle Color Cube Challenge with Artful Angel

 Good day my friends!  The new Color Cube Challenge has started at Artful Angel and this month we are using color palette number 317.

What a gorgeous palette.  And I decided to pair it with the King of the Jungle stamp set from Artful Angel and coloured it with my Prismacolor pencils in the following colors:

Pink:  930, 994, 1014
Coral:  926, 939, 927
Grey:1058, 1054, 1052, 1050, 938
Yellow:  947, 945, 1033, 1002, 917, 916, 1011

That's all for me today, I'll see you again soon!

Garden Gnomes New Release with Artful Angel

 Do you love gnomes like I do?  I love gnomes!  I especially love to color them :)  Artful Angel is releasing some new stamps today and one of them includes these fun Garden Gnomes!  Aren't they sweet?

To challenge myself, I used The Color Catalogue from Sarah Renae Clark to color these fun gnomies.  I used an online random number picker and was given the number 004!  Ok, sure!  I also colored with my Kalour colored pencils (WHAT?!) using the Prismas Color companion.  When you get to know your pencils really well, you can pick out the proper colors in other sets to match certain ones.

So the color combinations I used from Kalour are following:

Skin Combo #3:  181, 175, 197, 195, 048

Antique Navy:  296, 374, 378, 464, 381

Dusky Green:  174, 168, 116, 108, 118

Harvest Yellow:  039, 041, 056, 053, 204

See you again soon my friends!

Abominable with Artful Angel and The Color Catalogue

 Well hellooooo there!  Today I am sharing a bookmark I created using the Abominable stamp set from Artful Angel, while also featuring The Color Catalogue from Sarah Renae Clark for the Artful Angel Color Challenge.  That was a mouthful wasn't it? LOL

This month we are using the #303 color palette from The Color Catalogue.  Such an inspirational tool that takes all the guesswork out of your color palettes.  Especially since Sarah Renae Clark has added the companions, which match up the colors to several different marker and pencil brands.  I use Prismacolor Premiere a lot, so this companion has been immensely helpful!

I focussed this color palette on the Yeti itself, but have also applied it to the main part of the bookmark...the background papers.  Below is the list of Prisma color pencils I used for this challenge!

208, 195, 930, 929, 928, 938, 935, 936, 1024, 1052

Have some fun and come and join us in the Artful Angel Takes Flight Facebook group!

Colour Palette with Artful Angel

 Good day my fine friends!  Charis at Artful Angel has started a new color challenge for each month using the color palettes from Sarah Renae Clark's Color Cubes, Catalogues and Companions!  I love color challenges so this is is totally right up my alley.  The Color Companions take the guess work right out of the palette which sometimes is exactly what I need ;)  I color with different mediums, and I love that she has (almost) all of my mediums listed in the companion.

Charis chose color palette number #271 for the January challenge:

I chose to work with the Flutterby stamp set from Artful Angel.  This color palette really spoke to me for this stamp...sometimes that happens!  I look at a color palette and it tells me what image it needs.  I promise I'm not weird, I just love colors!

I colored this Flutterby stamp using my Prismacolor Premiere Pencils in the following colors (totally dictated by the Color Companion lol): *I have put a star beside the colors in the Companion, but I've also added a few to get the perfect combos ;) I like to have 3-5 colors in each combo.

Blue:  901, 1027*, 905*, 992, 938
Brown:  946, 944*, 943*, 140
Grey:  935, 1067, 1063, 1059*, 938

I will see you again on February 1st for another fun color palette challenge!
