My Favorite Things Color Challenge

Haven't been back here as much as I hoped.  I've made a few cards, but they were hurry up, get them made, and on their way.  Didn't even get a photo of them.

However, this time I have a photo.  I saw that MFT had posted a color challenge, and thought that would get me back in the mood to make cards.

The challenge was to use Fire Coral, Butterscotch, Caribbean Sea and Eiffel Tower.  

This is my interpretation of the colors, even if the colors seem off in this photo.  The matting color is off, in real life it is more of a pinkish orange, and a bit brighter.

Enjoyed making it, the colors reminded me of summer beaches, flowers, and swimming, which is a nice change from the cold and snow over the last few months!

The paper I used is mostly from MFT Sweet Celebrations 6 x 6 pack.  I also used some card stock I had on hand. The stamp if from Catherine Pooler Designs.

Creating with a color challenge

Alyse, Becky, and I, decided to use a color theme for our card making day this month.  The colors were light yellow, straw yellow, mustard yellow, deep orange and a deep red.  We were to use as many of these colors as we could as we made our cards.

I started off using my new Distress Oxide inks of Fired Brick, Fossilized Amber, and Spiced Marmalade.  I stamped a couple of bowls, and a spoon, along with a dotted border from the My Favorite Things November 2016 Card Kit--Kitschy Kitchen.  When it arrived I put it away because of the holidays, and basically forgot about it.  When I found it again a couple of weeks ago, I wanted to use it as I really liked it.  I made a card and was fairly pleased with the layout, but for some reason it just didn't grab me.  After looking at it, and thinking about it, I decided it just wasn't bright enough for such a fun stamp set!

I redid the card, using the Catherine Pooler inks of Tiara, Orange Twist and Rockin' Red.  I used Momento Black for the sentiment, as I did in the first card. I deleted the spoon, and added an additional bowl.   I also added yellow card stock for the first layer.  This card I really liked!  It just pops, and the colors complement the fun bowls!

I also made coordinating envelopes.  I think they turned out pretty cute!
