Artful Angel Color Palette Challenge #321

 Hello friends!  It has been  bit since I've blogged; life has a habit of doing that to you sometimes :)

However, today I am back with a burst of color and a card to inspire you for the Color Palette Challenge with Artful Angel.  Each month Charis chooses randomly a color palette from The Color Catalogue by Sarah Renae Clark, and this month it is #321.

This color palette contains shades of beautiful oranges and reds and yellows with some muted greys as well!

For my project this month, I stamped piut the girl mermaid from the Mer-Mazing Friends stamp set and colored her using my Caran d'Ache Luminance pencils.  The color catalogue has given us the colors to use from the Prismacolor Premiere pencils, but I have converted them myself.  I used the following Luminance pencils:  

Skin:  069, 866, 862, 872, 801
Hair:  407, 808, 803, 802
Tail:  599, 350, 583, 872, 801, 034

I will see you again soon with more inspiration and don't forget to come and join us each month for the color palette challenge using Sarah Renae Clark's The Color Catalogue!

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!
