Color Hues Challenge #108 - Lilac and Aqua - Happy Birthday and Many More

Hello, 

Welcome to Colour Hues Challenge #108 where our lovely hostess, Nancy, has selected hues of Lilac and Aqua as inspiration for the next two week. This pretty Spring combination can cover ever so many occasions.

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

Finally, finally, my Spellbinders Ampersand is making its debut and, after seeing how lovely it is, I'm wondering why I waited so long to give it a play! Simple foiling and simple pencil colouring makes for an easy card.


Please head over to the main blog to see outstanding inspiration from our guest designer and my teammates.
Looking forward to seeing how Aqua and Lilac inspire you!

The challenge will be open until April 29th @ 9:00 am EDT.

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



Thank you for dropping by!

Yes, Why did you wait so long? This is just CAS perfection and so very beautiful! The sentiment font takes this card to an entirely sophisticated level. Thanks for making my colors look so good! One of my many favs of yours for sure!

Oh my goodness, this is gorgeous! I know in my heart those are little clusters of lilacs and they smell heavenly! Love this one to bits, Carol!

This ampersand makes for a gorgeous card, Carol! I think we'll be seeing it again soon (I hope).

I agree, why did you? ;) Such a clean, crisp card and the '&' could be put to many uses, wedding or anniversay to mention just two. :)

This is absolutely BEAUTIFUL Carol and I'm wondering why you waited so long to use it too! But then again, I do the same thing...HAVE to have a certain stamp and then it sits there for ages before I use it! You have definitely made these colors SHINE and your card is a real winner in my book!! Hugs. :0)

Beautiful card Carol. That "&" is so pretty with those dainty purple flowers and it is perfect the way you used it in the sentiment.
