WWC55 Jeans Colour Challenge

In  this week's Watercooler Wednesday challenge,  Jean Fitch has provided us with a beautiful inspiration photo for this challenge.  This photo was actually taken by Jean of one of her stunning rings.  She has also added a colour palette based on our Stampin' Up! colours to indicate which are the colours for this challenge.

Colour challenges force one to use just the colours in the challenge, plus a neutral which is "free".  It's not always easy to stay within the palette, but that's why we have challenges---to force ourselves to work outside our comfortable "boxes".  

 

This week I chose a Fun Fold to use with this colour challenge.  I used the retired stamp set Fabulous Florets and also a retired DSP called Beyond the Garden.

 

I substituted the Wild Wasabi colour for the Mint Macaron, but was able to use all the other colours in my card.  Here it is:

 

 

and here is the inside:

 

 

 

Thanks for looking.

Another card for the Watercooler Wednesday Challenge WWC53.

For this challenge, Heidi Weaver has provided us with a wonderful sketch.

For my card, I chose a Gate Fold Card, with Mint Macaron, Pink Pirouette and Birthday Bouquet DSP.  The stamp set is a retired set called Valentine Defined, and I used Spellbinders Heart Squares die cut on the outside and inside of the card.  One of my recent purchases was Stampin Up Envelope liner die cut and I made a matching envelope with the Birthday Bouquet DSP.

and the inside uses another stamp from the Valentine Defined set and you can see the matching envelope.

Thanks for looking,
