Yep, that's what I said.... green and blech! Today's Stamp Simply challenge from Sharon Johnson is to use the colors green and purple. I don't get along with purple. I am not fond of purple. Never met a shade of purple that I liked one tiny bit. So here's my reluctant attempt to use green and purple (with a few other colors thrown in to make me happy!) I used Lori's sketch from this past Saturday on Paper Craft Planet for the layout, reversing it to better accomodate my image.
Sharon has a fabulous sample for you to see on her blog... she rocked these colors! As did the rest of the Stamp Simply team...

ReplyDeleteTammy, cute card! I didn't know that about you and purple. Really? I love the color combo purple and green. You did a great job with the colors even though you don't like purple.
ReplyDeleteYou and my mother--she didn't like purple one bit, either, LOL! I think you did a fine job with it! Love that little image (of course :)) and the way you colored her. Fabulous card, my friend!
ReplyDeleteJust adorable Tammy! Your coloring is fab!
ReplyDeleteAs much as you hate purple, your card turned out beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteI on the other hand LOVE purple! So much that I have some purple hair!!! But I understand your dislike, because I HATE mustard yellow!!!
Very sweet card and such a "subtle" use of the purple. How sad for the color that you don't much care for it, me I kinda like it so I might have to give this one a whirl.
