Guest Designer at Colour Me...! Striking CMCC#62



Happy Wednesday.  I am so glad to be here posting for my second week as a Guest Designer with Colour Me...!  Our color challenge this week is Garden Green, Pear Pizzazz and Neutral.  I do not have that many SU inks, but was happy to see that I did own these two colors.  If you only have PTI inks, I would suggest Simply Chartreuse and Ripe Avocado.

I decided to use this color scheme to make a sympathy card.  My mom recently came for a visit, and she just about cleaned out my stash of sympathy cards.  Time to restock.  I used PTI Harvest Berries for my images and a sentiment from Reverse Confetti.  This is one of my favorite sympathy sentiments, and Harvest Berries is one of my all time favorite stamp sets.  I think it can be used to make both masculine and feminine cards.

You will notice a bit of doodling on this card.  Emboldened by the video I watched last week and my experiment on this card, I decided to hand draw a sketchy frame around this card.





I hope you will play along this week at Colour Me...!


Thanks for Visiting

    If I promise to fall over dead right now will you send this card to me? It is FABULOUS!!!! I love ginko leaves and the color green and doodly borders. Love it, love it, love it! To die for! Well, okay that might be a bit dramatic.

    I love this gingko set, too, Joyce and it may be one of the first things I ever purchased from PTI. Fabulous doodling frame. Though I don't have those exact colors, I might be up to some improvising!

    How did I not know you were guest designing? I missed the boat last week. I have always loved that stamp but just never got it. It looks wonderful as a sympathy card and I love your doodling. I'd be afraid I'd goof it up.

    Lovely card...and you were so brave to draw that frame! I think if I tried it, I would do it first so I wouldn't mess up a whole card after all the stamping if I didn't like it!

    Somehow, green just seems right for a sympathy card. This is really lovely, Joyce. The hand-doodled border finishes this perfectly. Just wonderful. Bev

    Just popping back here Joyce to say thanks for your lovely comment on my blog about the watercolor smooshing, and please feel free to use that die on your card, I am more than fine with that!

    I love your beautiful, delicate foliage, Joyce! Your hand doodling along the edge is just perfect, too. Every time I try to do that it turns out to be a mess!

    Yay, another GD spot for you Joyce ... and another fabulous card for us! It's beautiful ... calm, serene, gentle ... just right to express sympathy! You're tempting me to add that wonderful set to my wish book ... it's been in and out so many times ... p'raps it'd better stay! Anita :)

    This is so perfect as a sympathy card - the color is soothing and there is just something so hopeful about it!! Love the border you drew in around the edge of your card - looks so very cool and adds a certain chic-ness to your card!!!
