Happy Sunday! I wonder if your weekend is as rainy as mine? Gotta love that Vancouver winter…
It’s time for another CR84FN Colour Challenge! Again, we want to thank everyone who played with us last week… I had an insane week, so while I really fell short with my comments, I promise I saw each and every entry! I just love seeing what everyone creates – I find it so inspiring and it’s so fun to see how differently you all interpret a common theme!
I am just LOVING the colours this week – our very own Suzanne supplied these photos as inspiration for us!! Thanks Suzanne – this is one of my favourite colour combos!
Here is the wonderful inspiration:
Initially, when I saw these colours, I planned to go quite vibrant and bright with them… but somehow, I ended up with some muted tones, and what I think is quite a retro vibe to my card. I was really pleased with it! When I hit up my LSS to find some turquoise paper, I found this lovely patterned paper from A Muse, and took it from there…
Here is my card:
This came together pretty quick, and I am so pleased with the results!
And check out the wonderful old button I found in my stash, thanks to my amazing Mother-in-Law, who has kept every button that she ever met…
I can just imagine this came off a pair of my hubby pants when he was a little guy running around!
Now, you MUST look at what all the other DT ladies have created, because as usual, there are some beautiful cards waiting for you. Their links are on my sidebar, where you can always find them!
