Raspberry Suite Color Challenge 3

I'm really loving the color challenges the Dawn McVey has been having over on her blog My Favorite Things. They kind of take me out of my comfort zone and this is a good thing. I really love the colors in this weeks challenge but it was a challenge to gather all five of them together for one card.

I'm pretty happy with the end results. Thanks for dropping by.

Supplies: Card base - DMC, Cardstock - PTI Kraft, Berry Sorbet, Pure Poppy, DP - PTI - Pink Patterns, Ribbon PTI Pure Poppy, Stamped sentiment from Damask Designs set, Ink, Hibiscus PTI, Marth Stewart butterfly punch

Raspberry Suite Color Challenge 2

I'm so glad - and I knew it would be - a smashing hit Dawn McVey's color challenge over at her blog My Favorite Things that she will be doing so every week. She puts colors together that I just wouldn't think of and here is another one.

I really had a hard time with this one. At first I had brown as the main color, then I used Spring Moss as the background, and I didn't really care for either. Any -whoooo - this is what I came up with -- Stampers Select White as the background, Dark Chocolate, and Spring Moss on the rectangles. I grabbed some Fancy Pants chipboard that I've had forever and colored with 'teal-like' Metallic Rub-ons and glitter glue. Used a brown pencil for the lines on the outside and Mixed Messages for the sentiment. Rather simple but I like it. Thanks for dropping by - please leave me a note and let me know what you think.

Raspberry Suite Color Challenge 1

I was excited today when I visited Dawn McVey’s blog and saw that she was starting color challenges. I love Dawn’s designs and some of the colors she puts together are like out there for me but looks so right the way she does it. This is one reason why I am jumping in on this challenge. I never would have thought to put these colors together; they are way out of my comfort zone. However, you know what? I like it. Thanks Dawn for starting these challenges.
