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

  10. 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!

  11. 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.

  12. 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!

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