OWH Midweek Challenge: Purple and Green

Missed the OWH blog hop but gearing up for the "second million" challenge which is perfect for hot weather when you want to be inside being artsy. This week's midweek challenge is to use purple and green on a card!

Color Inspiration for Midweek Throwdown

The colors that are the inspiration for this week's midweek challenge are some of my favorite to combine.. pinks with olive, lime (and also brown)! I want this pillow for my den!

Had already used the striped Paper Studio paper to make some cards I colored with Copics yesterday at Scrapbooks and Etc. so timing was impeccable on this one.. Made several variations but like this one the best. Embossed the olive green and just used some ribbon scramps and a sentiment from the Stampin Up! "FYI" stamp set.

Color challenge: Perfect Timing

So the challenge is make a card using your favorite colors... some of which are greens (olives, lime), brown, pink (with brown or light blue) and soft corals, blues = the "tropical stuff." And what to my wondering eyes did appear at Stamp Club but a card using two of these colors that I absolutely love, love and will use again and again for many different occasions - thinking OpWriteHome "miss you," anniversary you," birthday, "thinking of you" .... The stamp is a new Stampin' Up watercolor floral, the ink is Stampin' Up olive, which I immediately ordered! I love how the front of the card is torn (I would distress a bit as well) and then the inside cream insert is also stamped.
