365 Cards - #109 Colour Scheme

The light is not good in my photos tonight so I apologise for that right up front. My fluro light started flickering so I turned it off until my husband can change it tomorrow as he is asleep now lol. And I only have my lamp on so I did the best I could with what I got lol.

So over at 365 Cards Pam set the challenge today as a colour challenge and your card had to include green, orange, yellow, brown and aqua and your card had to be feminine!! Crikey I almost had a fit (maybe it was the fluro flickering) all those colours and it had to be feminine. . .and the inspiration for this colour range came from the Cosmo Cricket "Mr Campy" paper range so what does that tell you. . .yep you guessed it a blokey type of range. So I really had to get the thinking cap on for this one I can tell you!! First I chose SU Kraft cardstock for the actual card and I really thought this is not helping it is leaning towards the blokey end. Then I chose Tangerine Tango (a fav of mine) and the yellow was from the Neutrals paper stack from DCWV. Once I had Cuttlebugged them both I could see where my card was going then and it all came together like magic hehe. This SU stamp set Fresh Cuts has to be my favourite stamp set it has so many uses. I stamped the image in Chocolate Chip and then I used my SU Stampin' Pastels to lightly sponge all the colours that we had to use throughout the image. I think it turned out just beautifully and I was really pleased with the outcome. What do you think?? The rest of the card speaks for itself but you can see what supplies I used at the end of this post under Supplies of course. I did sand the yellow DCWV embossed cardstock so the white core came through, I think it looks great.

This second image is a little brighter than the first one but not much. I could have done it tomorrow but if I don't get my card done at night I dream about what I am going to create until. . .like last night or early this morning (3.30am) I get up and make the jolly thing, so I had to get it made before I went to bed so I could rest properly! So that is it for me today.

In the meantime. . . .

Walk about your day with beauty.
