Harvest of Thanks - PPA179 Color Challenge
Thursday, November 14, 2013 at 2:00 AM Hello! It's Thursday and that means another Pals Paper Art Challenge! This week is a color challenge...
I decided to combine this color challenge with this cute sketch challenge I found over at Sunday Stamps!:
And together they inspired me to create this colorful card...
I turned the sketch to make it work better for my sentiment, which is from the Harvest of Thanks stamp set. Once I laid the elements out I decided that I needed to add some interest so I pulled out my handy dandy sponge dauber case and inked up the edges of all of my banners as well as the base. So fun to have them all at my fingertips and ready to go!
Also, you can see that I stamped on my envelope, which I don't usually do. To create my leaves I inked the stamp up in Crushed Curry ink and then used my sponge dauber to add Rich Razzleberry to the edges. I think it softens them up nicely!
I would never ever have put these colors together, but now that they are together I do think they play off each other quite nicely...and of course the candy dots and the natural linen bow finish it off perfectly :)
Thank you for stopping by, and I will be back on Saturday with another Clean and Simple Saturday card!

Shannon, this is simple and sweet. The Linen Thread adds the perfect touch and I love how you placed your Candy Dots. Beautiful! Thanks for joining us this week at PPA.
Fabulous colours and great card! Love how you added the twine. Thanks for playing along with us at Sunday Stamps!
Gorgeous card you have shared with us. I love the colour combo you have used :) Thanks so much for playing along with us at Sunday Stamps, we sure hope to see you back again soon!!!
Beautiful use of both challenges! I just love the three banners. Do you have a secret for cutting your flagged ends? I just love everything about this card - I think I'm going to try out this sketch challenge next! Great idea with the stamped leaves as well! :)
This is fantastic! I had trouble visualizing this combo too. I did end up liking it though!
Great way to combine both challenges into this very pretty card. Really like the colors and the detail with the twine and candy dots. Glad you joined us at Sunday Stamps.
Thank you Mamichelle! This color combination was a stretch for me but I too am happy I "stretched"!
Janet,
Thank you for your kind words! I actually freehand my banners and don't worry too much if they are off just a tad...one thing is for sure, they are NEVER the same! lol Thanks for stopping by!
Shannon, I LOVE your card! The light sponging on the edges of everything gives it such a soft look. It's clean and simple but with a touch of softness!! Thanks for joining us this week at Pals Paper Arts!
It's lovely Shannon! I too like the 3 banners. Thanks for playing along with us this week!
