It sometimes hard for people to get into the color green. I have siblings, not in love with the color at all! Myself…I LOVE GREEN!

My home is white, off-white, and green and red! At Christmas it is easy to decorate! I really don’t require a lot of stuff! Just pops of red and gold everywhere!

 

Today’s Color Challenge from Sunday Stamps Challenge SSC177

The focus seemed green. It also challenges with Navy Blue, Beige and Creamy colors too!

Here is the Challenge!

 

I really like this color combination!

(and those parfait cups look yummy too!)

 

Here is my Card!

 

The Card base is Tranquil Tide.

The mat is Night of Navy.

The stamped panel is Whisper White.

The bird is color blended with Crumb Cake and Sahara Sand

Stampin’ Write Markers.

 

Here is the stamped inside of my Card!

I stamped the inside sentiment in Night of Navy.

 

And I HAD to stamp an envelope to match!

I used my blender pen, to blend the colors in

the leaves and the berries and berry flowers.

I DID the same on the envelope!

Hello!

Welcome Back!

Thank you for peeking in for today’s Card!

Today’s Card is for a Color Challenge!

for TGIFC #154

What a beautiful combo of color!

 

Here is my Card!

The cake plate and bow are cut from the Champagne Foil Sheet!

To me, it has a pinkish hue to it and I thought it was a good way to help bring the

‘bling’ to a very celebratory Card! That ‘foil-like’ Washi Tape was from my stash!

 

Here is my Card’s inside!

I didn’t stamp too much…I want to keep as much ‘white’ space for a personal note!

I am driving over to WV to visit my Dad before he goes up to RI for 6 mos.

This is the last Post till I get back!

I have a couple of Challenges that I can join after I return home.

Until the next Post…Blessings and Sweet Wishes to you ALL!

Hello!

Thank you for stopping by today!

Today’s Card is for 2 challenges…

 

A Color Challenge from

FabFri#134

what I found hard in this color challenge…

…how to incorporate the pink!

 

 

And the Sketch Challenge from

SSINKSC#51

 

Here is my take on combining the two!

The ‘pink’ solved! I dyed the Silver Edged Whisper White Ribbon

with the Powder Pink Ink and I used alcohol so it would dry faster!

Attached with a Mini Glue Dot!   Done and Done!

 

Here is the inside of the Card…this can be used for either a Birthday or Father’s Day!

 

 

 

I used another piece of the DSP and glued it to the envelope flap…Truly Tailored!

 

I am so glad I have a Dad and Brothers that wouldn’t think twice about a ‘pink’ bow!
