There is new challenge, hosted by Heather, posted on the Papertrey Peeps Blog. Heather, known for her great use of color, is challenging us to use these colors: turquoise, chartreuse, purple, gray and white. I started on my card Saturday morning after reading Heather's challenge; however, I had short term memory loss and forgot the color purple until the card was almost put together.
I used a card by Jessica Witty in Card Creations Vol. 8 as my inspiration.
I began with a card base of Smokey Shadow and then added the large scalloped piece in turquoise. I stamped the large fleur de lis in Hawaiian Shores, the sentiment in Smokey Shadow, and the text at the bottom in Simply Chartreuse. I planned on using the chartreuse ribbon with a turquoise button. . As I was thinking I wish I had some chartreuse cs as a matte, I had the epiphany that there was another color in this challenge: purple, so I made the matte purple and added a bold purple button. The final touch is a more delicate beaded pin with a lavender pearl and turquoise and green gems.

ReplyDeleteYour card is gorgeous! I love how you used the colors on your card. I'm still thinking about this one.
ReplyDeleteCammie how pretty! You used the colors well. I had a color fog too, I was convinced that we had to use black too!
ReplyDeleteCammie I really LOVE how you've interpreted these colours! My immediate instinct was to do something a bit funky with them - and you've turned them into a beautiful serene and elegant card! This is utterly gorgeous - I love the deep scallop with the damask image!
ReplyDeleteLovely card!

Great job. I love that image. I like you finished the inside too.
ReplyDeleteLove the damask! Great job with the challenge colors--you really used them so well. The smoky shadow as the background color really helps make the turquoise and chartreuse pop!
ReplyDeleteYou did excellent Cammie! I love the ribbon and purple button lots.
