You Make My Heart Happy

Happy Thursday! Today we launch another Color Challenge over at Pals Paper Arts. This week the very talented Mary Fish is our hostess. I was very challenged by the colors Mary gave us.

PPA-291-Mar10

I love all these colors however I struggled not having Watermelon Wonder and Cucumber Crush over taking the design and losing poor Pool Party. I spent several hours on one design that I finally gave up on. I am super pleased I kept at it and came up with this card.

The flowers are from Birthday Blossoms I lightly added color to the flowers with my aqua painter. [Note: I use 91% Isopropyl Alcohol rather than water. It evaporates quickly leaving only the color behind.] The center of each flower was colored with a Watermelon Wonder Stampin’ Writer Marker. Then I dotted each center with Crystal Effects. That is why there is a shiny finish.

The sentiment is from the Lovely Amazing You Photopolymer Stamp set. I love this font. I hope they use it again!

Then my Tags & Labels Framelits gave me the perfect frame for my sentiment.

Did you notice the soft detail in the white corners? My Simply Scored Board made that a cinch.

In the end my card is clean and simple. I think it showcases all three colors well and no color is overpowering the others. What do you think? I love hearing from you.

Check out what the other Pals Paper Arts designers did with these colors.
