AWOW-Colour Challenge

This month the Around the World team is playing with a colour challenge!! We were instructed to choose at least 3 of the colours in the image below. They are; Starry Sky, Rich Razzleberry, Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana, Pool Party, Soft Seafoam, Mint Macron, Petal Pink, and Pale Papaya.

The colours I chose were as follows. I started with colouring 3 stamped images. The flower centres are Dark Pale Papaya, then as I went out towards the petal edges I blended with Light Pale Papaya and Light Petal Pink. I coloured the leaves with Light and Dark Mint Macron. I wanted to use a dark colour for the background to offset the pale flowers and I chose Starry Sky. However I thought a full background was a bit too much so I cut the piece on a diagonal, tucked in some Starry Sky variegated twine and finished with some Pale Papaya embellishments.

For the sentiment I hear embossed directly to the card front a risky proposition that turned out in my favour whew!! Looking at this card I can see a few things I could change up and perhaps I should have played with colour a little bit more…perhaps even used an embossing folder on that background….

I hope this card had inspired you to create a card of your own!! Please keep hopping to see what the rest of the team has made I can’t wait yo see all the colour combinations!
