Color Hues Challenge #105 - Green and White - You're Awesome to the Core (Honeybee Stamps)

Hello,

A warm welcome to Colour Hues Challenge #105 where, as hostess, I have selected hues of Green and White as inspiration for the next two weeks.  This simple combination gives you opportunity to play with the colours as they are or to pair them with our snippets of our wonderful array of neutrals - black, grey, kraft, brown, cream, gold, and silver. Themes and occasions are open - with a reminder that St. Patrick's Day will be here in a blink!

We're delighted to have Nance joining us as our Guest Designer for this challenge. 

Honeybee Stamps' Awesome to the Core suite of stamps, stencils and dies recently joined my collection, so I created a few Granny Smith apples for my card, along with a pretty, antique white blossom and a scalloped oval base + frame. The apples are fun and yes, several more are awaiting their turn on the stage.


Please head over to the main blog for some fabulous inspiration from our guest designer and my teammates. 
Then, bring out your Green & White and create a card (or two) of your own to share in the gallery.
Looking forward to seeing how this combination inspires you.

Thank you for dropping by!

You have some fab stamps and stencils Carol, this is a perfect fit for the current colours. Love the crisp, no pun intended, looking design with all that white space. :)

Apples, of course! You are such a clever girl. I don't think that would have ever dawned on me. Such a pretty card and I really enjoyed this color combo so thank you for that. Take care!

Carol, this card with the Granny Smith apples takes me back to when I was growing up. My grandparents had a fruit orchard and Grandma would pick those Granny Smiths and make the BEST apple pie! You've colored yours so perfectly and I adore that cute sentiment. Thanks for a great color combo!

Dang girl! You nailed this fabulous design! I would never have thought to add in a floral yet it's perfect with the apples. Beautifully framed too!

I can't begin to tell you how much fun I had with your challenge colors, and it's been just as much fun to see how everyone else has interpreted them. What a great combo! And . . . Granny Smith apples-I would never have thought of them, but what fun they are in your beautifully designed card!
