Sunday morning...and an invitation to join the DT over at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #358, with this gorgeous palette! Seriously oh-so-pretty! The tantalizing strawberry-lime cupcakes are incredibly lovely and paired with the slate gray plate and flowers...my word!

If you have time, do check out the source blog, Hint of Vanilla: magical! If you love rhubarb,
you will be blown away with what she does with it. And the strawberry and mint scones...and the layercakes...and eclairs and COFFEE donuts! Decadent and delicious. Her photography is stellar, too! Works of art!! (Bonus: she's Canadian *grin*)

Anyway, I digress...(my tastebuds made me stray...)
I had zero clue what to do with this luscious lilac, apricot and grey scheme that would do justice to both the colours and the inspiration photo. Then, like magic, I saw Karolyn's card here. And so, I set about creating a case of her lovely roses that transformed into this...
I *think* I achieved my colours + image goal. What do you think?
Next steps: all yours! Pull out your lilacs, apricots, grays and join us in the gallery!
Excited to see what you create this week!
Thank you for spending time with me today; your visit brings me immense joy!
Love this! How did I miss it on your blog-feed??? This is called, "Doing it right."
ReplyDeleteStunning work, Carol! You have been on fire this weekend! I think you nailed this. Oh my goodness, those colors are so pretty on their own, but when you join them together, they are simply stunning. I adore the asymmetry of the colored piece set on the gray. The neutral gray really helps the other colors to really pop. I seriously would love to know what ink colors you used. They are so gorgeous, my ultra talented friend!Hugs and smiles to you!
ReplyDeleteJust delicious, your card! Had to look at your inspiration (because I thought you masked all those beauties...) - now that stamp makes your life really easy - I would go for that, too! Your coloring is superb! So fun to be GDT with you at Cupcake Inspirations!
