Welcome to Just Us Girls Challenge #450~Colour Week, where our lovely Lisa has this oh-so-pretty palette of aqua, pink and white to incorporate into our designs
If you've come from - or are heading to - the challenge blog, you'll see an array of fabulous cards from our July Guest Designer, ever-so-talented Julia Aston, and my talented teammates: Sue, Angie, Vicki, Ina, Bobby, Nancy, Lisa, Maria. Please drop by their places and leave them some love.
Concord & 9th's Retro Petals Turnabout stamp/stencils have been calling for my attention for a few weeks and finally, the stamp set and I had a date! Both cards feature the colour combo - just in different shades. The first uses Lawn Fawn Merman and Your Next Stamp Pink Flamingo;
the second, a softer version in Mama Elephant pigment inks. I LOVE pigment inks!
I can't wait to play with the turnabout stencils next!
Sending *Happy Thoughts* to you; hope your weekend is off to a marvelous stop. Me...you already know what's on my agenda: more bike races!
Looking forward to seeing your *AQUA, PINK and WHITE* designs in the gallery!L
Thank you for dropping by!
These lovely leaves fill me with such happy thoughts! How very pretty your cards are, both in the bold and soft variations. Excellent use of the colors in the challenge. I also like the scalloped mats. Such a fun detail. Thank you so much for sharing, Carol! I'll be thinking happy thoughts of you this weekend! Well, I should say, all my thoughts of you are happy! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteWhat a different look with lighter and darker versions of these colors - that's a great background stamp Carol and both cards are lovely!

Both versions are beautiful! That turnabout stamp was a great choice to use in this week's color challenge and I love how you paired them with the big, bold sentiment panels.
