SU! Colour Challenge- September

I've been looking around for inspiration and challenges to help enhance my creativity.  I had the day after Labor Day off and found this SU! Colour Challenge on Facebook.  They host a monthly challenge to use different colors.   Here is what I came up with!



The color challenge included:  Magenta Madness, Petal Pink, Mango Melody, Balmy Blue, and Granny Apple Green.  Since there was this lovely green color, I went towards nature.  In nature there are so many bright bold nature hues I knew it would be a wonderful match.

Another thing I love is unusual colored Christmas Cards.  So I grabbed one of my favorite holiday sets. Peaceful Boughs (pg 57 Annual Catalog).  Of course, I didn't want to make a Christmas card yet, so I added in the thanks die cut from Well Written die set (pg 183 annual catalog).


I wanted to add a mixture of stamping with die cut images.  The plain solid colors didn't look right but after adding a little sponging in the same color...everything popped!  The stamped pine swap in the background anchored the pine bouquet.  I also needed some Balmy Blue ribbon, so I colored it using the Stampin' Blends.  This is just a white crinkled seam binding ribbon and now it matches perfectly!


Lastly...gotta add some color to the envelope and inside of the card.  I used the Well Said Stamp Set (which coordinates with the Well Written Dies).  This stamp and die set is amazing with so many different choices, you can't go wrong.

I hope you enjoyed my sample for the September Colour Challenge.
