Color Hues Challenge #86 - Lilac and Lime - Anemones Notecard (Memory Box, MCT)

Hello,

Welcome to Colour Hues Challenge #86, where our lovely hostess, Julie, has selected hues of Lilac and Lime as inspiration for the next two weeks. A pretty combination for Spring - or, as is the case here in Alberta, for 'late' winter. Another snowfall warning...but we'll take the moisture to help those May flowers bloom! 

We're delighted to have Sue joining us as our guest designer.

The pretty little anemones blooms from Poppy Stamps came out to play with Memory Box solid and patterned papers. The scallop dies are from MCT. No stamping at all - just lots of die cuts. I couldn't decide on a sentiment for the outside, so left it as an 'whatever the occasion' card.


Looking forward so seeing your lilac and lime delights.

The challenge will be open until May 14th @ 9 AM EST!

The winners will be posted an hour before our next challenge goes live.
The overall winner will have the opportunity to be a
future Guest Designer!

Thank you for dropping by!

Sorry to hear your weather is not as spring like as the colours, up until yesterday neither has ours. This little beauty certainly says spring to me. :)

One of my very favorite flowers are purple anemones, and yours are so lovely. The scalloped edges of the card and the oval add a touch of elegance! It's a wonderful design.
