When you look at the beautiful bedding ensembles in the Penney's Home Sale catalogs do you think about how they would look in your home? Or do you get inspiration for color schemes for cards? If I had all the bedding ensembles that I have fallen in love with I'd have to own a hotel to display them all! So I do the next best thing --- I save the pages and use them for inspiration for color schemes! I did just that along with the great sketch for the
Whiff of Joy Challenge #68. Here is
Bev's wonderful sketch for this week:
And here is my inspiration for the color scheme:
Isn't this pretty? And here is my card.....
The beautiful Melinda looks so pretty in any color scheme, but I did this one in a partial monochromatic. The Copic colors are: E000, E00, E02 for her skin; E04, E11 for her hair; E13, E15, E17 for her dress; E31, E33, E35 for the underdress and pantaloons. The DP is 7 Gypsies Savannah collection layered on a card blank made with Bazzill card stock. The sentiment is a rub-on that I put on a card that came with the collection. Flowers from Prima and pearls from my stash.
I'm quite happy with this card and I hope you like it, too. If you want to see some truly stunning cards, be sure to hop over to the

Your card looks stunning Barb and what a clever idea!
I don't have that catalogue (obviously) but I may just have to steal your idea as I sometimes struggle with colour inspiration.
