This is something very new to me ! Taking part in a colour challenge. The Design Team over at the
CAS Colour & Sketch Challenges Blog have a Colour Challenge this week, and I have decided to have a go. The brief was to use the three colours indicated below to create a clean and simple card. I can say I have never put these three colours together .... ever ! So it was indeed a challenge, and one that I have thoroughly enjoyed.
So my little recipe was:-
- Soft Suede cardstock base, and layers of Blushing Bride and Soft Suede.
- Friendly Expressions stamp set for the sentiment (heat embossed)
- Leaves from Painted Harvest (heat embossed and punched with the Leaf Punch)
- Flowers in Blushing Bride & Berry Burst card stock (punched with the Bunny Builder Punch) with pearly accents.
- Rustic Linen Thread
I have to say that having been very doubtful about the colours, I do really like how my design came together. Hope you like it too.
Thanks for looking and bye for now.
