One of my cards was recently chosen as a winner at the Color Hues challenge for this Mountain Camping card and because of that I get the huge honor of joining the Color Hues team as a guest designer for this week's challenge. I hope you'll check out all the wonderful goodness that this team is showcasing and then join in the fun yourself: The Color Hues Challenge
We are working with with Purple & Green this time! So many ways this pair of colors can go!
Purple is one of my favorite colors and I never want to have to pick a favorite so I decided to use 3 different purples on this card! I stamped the balloons in Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather and Fresh Freesia. Once they were cut out I added some white baker's twine ties to them then adhered the trio to a Basic White card front. The party streamer are stamped across the card front in returning color Lemon Lime Twist. A stitched border is added using the Stitched With Whimsy dies that really go well with the streamers.
The sentiment is stamped in Gorgeous Grape and fussy cut and popped on dimensionals below the balloons. Some faceted opaque gems in 2 of the purples are added for a final touch.
I loved this color combo and might even have to make time to do a purple and green floral card because the colors are just too good not to!
Thanks to the Colors Hues Design Team for inviting me to join in on this fun challenge!
