Just Us Girls Challenge #492~Colour Week...You're A Delight, I Just Adore You

Hello,

Welcome to Just Us Girls Challenge #492, where I'm thrilled to be hostess for this week's Colour Challenge. I'm inviting you to select a favourite colour and feature it in Light, Mid and Dark tones. You may want to use two tones of one colour...totally fine by me...because that's what I did *grin*

We're thrilled to welcome Marlena McDeavitt as our guest designer once again. Please visit her, as well as my teammates - Sue, Angie, Vicki, Ina, Bobby, Nancy, Lisa and Maria - who would love to know you dropped by.

I have a 'thing' for Concord & 9th turnabouts, so this go round (sorry...pun not intended), I played with the Wreath version. The first uses a sentiment from the stamp set; the second, dies from You're My Happy. A bit hard to see the letters in the photo but...they're clear in real life and the paper matches my light blue inks...


Over to you...

Looking forward seeing your Light/Mid/Dark colour creations in the gallery!

Thank you for dropping by!

Wow Carol your turnabout cards are stunning and so spectacular in the same colour tones. Great challenge this week.

Wow! Two gorgeous creations in beautiful shades of blue. You definitely have a talent for using the Turnabout stamps, I'm still trying to perfect it.

Lisa Kind said...

I loved this challenge! And your cards are so pretty! I think I used the same colors as you did on the one on the right for a card I made a while ago. Love this set and how you used it!

Beautiful challenge and amazing cards Carol! I have a thing for turnabouts too ;). Blue is my absolute favorite color and I could stare at this pair all day; they allow me to enjoy ALL the shades. Lovely work~

Nancy said...

These are both amazing! You have that technique down for sure! It's pure perfection! Your tones of blues are so complimentary too. Sometimes different shades of one color can fight eachother....not here my dear!

What a wonderful way to use the three colors of blue, Carol. That first wreath is so light and airy and the second one sprayed out beautifully.
