So, onto today's JUGS47 challenge! It's a color challenge hosted by Lisa that took me out of my comfort zone! I don't think it's a secret that I favor an earthy palette...so check this out and imagine how challenging this was for me:
I figured it out by using some cutesy paper I created months ago (MTME Fun Flowers and Darling Dots) that ended up working well with the Mojo Monday sketch (MOJO152).
I primarily honed in on the pink and lime colors...so much so that I almost forgot to add my contrasting, teal butterfly :] The pretty bloom is the Rambling Rose cut file I created a while back for MTME. I used white cs and sponged Pink Pirouette 1st, then Regal Rose, and finally just around the edges of each petal, Melon Mambo (all SU colors). My sentiment is framed using the So Sentimental Frame cut file that Lauren created (I shrunk it to about 2" wide). The sentiment is from the MTME Sensational Sentiments stamp set. The oval panel and the scalloped border on the Fun Flowers paper are also cut files I created for MTME called All Tied Up - Ovals and Border Builders Elegance Scallop. Ribbon is from May Arts and the embossing folder is from Cuttlebug.
We hope you can join us this week and show us what you can do with the fun palette! Be sure to post a direct link to your project over at JUGS and use keyword JUGS47 in any online galleries. Check out the rest of the team's awesome projects also! You're sure to be inspired :]
