As you know from some of my previous posts, I'm color challenged. I take the easy route and just use the colors that Stampin' Up! uses in their designer series paper. I figure I can't go wrong that way. I usually skip most color challenges unless they're colors I've already worked with together. This week, however, I was really drawn to this color challenge posted on the Verve blog.
I'm not sure what I was thinking--five different colors! Well, I decided to give it a try using this Mojo sketch by Julee.
Check it out, I did it!!!
All five colors are there plus two neutrals. I think that's a record for me. If you click on the photo, you'll see it enlarged. The Pumpkin Pie, Certainly Celery, So Saffron, and Soft Sky pieces are all Prints Designer Series Papers. I used the same pattern on each of those pieces--the little white flowers.
I stamped the flower image from "Close as a Memory" on Shimmery White cardstock. I love the way it shimmers and sparkles. I stamped the flowers again on another piece of Shimmery White cardstock and cut each flower out and popped them up on a dimensional.
I used a piece of the Styled Silver Hodgepodge Hardware for my sentiment. This is my first time using it and I really like the color. I finished my card with two colors of Taffeta ribbon, paper piercing, and lots of dimensionals.
If you've made it this far in my post, I wanted to mention that I have some blog candy coming in the next day or two. By this weekend I will have had over 200,000 hits on my blog. Thank you for coming to visit me and for leaving me comments. I truly appreciate it. ~Dannie
