Just Us Girls #510 - Color Week

It' my turn to choose the challenge this week at Just Us Girls for our Color Challenge.  I went with Purple, Navy and Green!


We have Chris Dring with us again this week as our October Guest Designer!  Check out JUGS to see what Chris and the rest of the fabulous Design Team have created using this color combo.



I made 2 extremely different cards using these colors.  The first one I used a piece of patterned paper that was purple and navy with some green sparkly dots.  I darkened the edges by sponging some Distress ink in Faded Jeans.  Die cut the circles and stamped the little mummies.  Layered onto a green card base.  The eyes look yellow in the photo, but they are colored with a Pale Green Touch Twin marker.

The second card is very simple using Altenew's Painted Flowers stamping only one in the purple with green leaves and stamping the sentiment in Memento Nautical Blue.  Matted with some navy (which looks black in the photo) and onto a light purple card base.

I'm also entering this into The Male Room challenge - Halloween


Come play along with us and you could be chosen as our next Chic of the Week, which would then make you eligible at a chance to become our next Guest Designer!  Please limit your entries to 3.

Aha! So that paper inspired your color choices, Sue. ;) It looks very Halloween-y with those darling mummies. The other card is beautifully CAS.

Very different cards, but both amazing with the use of the same colors! This was such a pretty color combo and perfect for Halloween cards as well as floral designs.
