I left off with #4 in light green in the last post and here is #5 in dark green. My constant is the words that are used to describe a color. Those words for this card are Emerald Green and Jade-Green. Both were cut from a dictionary. My carry-over from Card #4 is the butterfly.
This one is quite dark but that gives it a mysterious quality. I mentioned my plan to cover the number on the playing card from here on unless it worked well with the rest of the card. I did write the #5 in the upper right hand corner but you have to peek under the butterfly wing to see it.
Next card up is #6 in light blue. The words for this card are Powder-Blue and Azure. The number is centered at the very bottom of the card and stamped in blue ink. There are two carry-overs. The last card had a green stamp on the right side and this one has a blue stamp on the right. The other carry-over is the butterfly.
Card # 7 is dark blue and the seven is stamped slightly off center. The color words are Cobalt-Blue and Navy-Blue. The only carry-over is that I used flowers on both cards.
Now that were are gaining momentum in the challenge, the prompts are increasing. The color for #8 is purple and the additional prompt is white splatters. My constant color words are Lilac, Dahlia, Violet and Grape. For the carry-over I used a purple glass stud with a silver rim. I took a little liberty and paired this with the navy button on card #7.
The purple pig is somewhat camouflaged by all those white splatters but it is there even if you can't tell that it's a pig. It is important to know since that is my carry over to the next card.
The ninth card is in pink with black splatters. My words for pink are Blush, Rose, and Fuchsia. The carry over is the pig. we were also prompted to be free in our expression with this card, thus the word "free" on the pig. Number 9 is stamped on the bottom left of this card.
Last card for this post is #10. The prompts for this card were Vintage with brown splatters. So much for constant color words. I decided on Coral for this one which doesn't require an explanation. I was pretty happy with this one until the splatters made it difficult to see all the parts of the blouse pattern I glued onto the bottom half. Under her raised arm you might be able to see a drawing of the back of the blouse showing the button placement. Below that there is a part of the pattern picturing a scissors marking where to cut the fabric with the pattern attached. To the left of that there are two sections of the pattern showing where they meet on the shoulder. The three diagonal lines from top right to lower left signify the dart placement. Where they meet at the bottom you might be able to make out the word Dart. The words Hollywood Pattern Company were cut from the pattern and glued on the left side of the card. The word Company got covered by the button and thread. And obviously the model was cut from the front of the pattern envelope. That little piece in the upper right corner is being held by a straight pin (notice it was before they added the colorful little nobs on the top of the straight pins.) And, yes, that is the number of the pattern.
