| Traced Balloons from Avery Elle Balloons Dies |
Our homework for the day was to stamp multiple images and use different types of colors (warm versus cool) to make some images recede and some jump forward. We also saw examples of monochromatic, analagous, complementary, and triadic coloring. I didn't have any stamps that would work for the homework so I used a set of balloon dies to create a possible card front. First I traced the balloons, making sure to tuck some behind each other, then I colored them with analagous colors. That is the look I am most drawn to.
I wish these were stamps because I don't have that thick outline to help keep my balloons perfectly even on the edges. Some of my coloring goes outside the drawn pencil lines. I couldn't have used my multi-liner to trace though because even with pencil, my dies wiggled and I messed up my tracing from time to time. A copic multi-liner would have made a disaster if that happened. Even though I don't have the nice black outline and my edges aren't perfectly smooth, I think I might be able to make this into a cheerful card for one of my young nieces or nephews.
