Riley Color Challenge

The challenge on the Riley blog this week is a color challenge.  You needed to use the colors blue, green & yellow.  I've been trying to simplify some of my cards a bit.  I know I can add too many embelishments.  So, I went with some banners & a simpler card for this challenge.  I am loving how it turned out.

The Riley golfing image is stamper with Jet Black Archial ink onto my usual cryogen white cardstock.  I just love how it sparkles.  I know most people use the memento black with alcohol markers, but I really love the crisper image I get from Archival ink.  If you use Archival ink, be sure to heat set it before coloring or else your image will smudge.  I colored Riley with my Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers.  He is colored with the following markers: Riley TN3 TN5 TN6 TN8, Hooves & Antlers EB3, Grass DG2, Ball BG1 BG2, Club IG3
