Sunshine in my pocket

Unusual Color Combinations

March 7, 2020 Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have an unusual color combination to share. I was inspired by the Altenew class “With a Twist” taught by Therese Calvird. She challenged us to try a color combination that we don’t usually use.

So today I have a card using Navy, Stone, Peony, and Lime! This is a color combo I have NEVER used before. Oh, and I threw in some Rose Gold foil just for fun. It is so difficult to photograph foil, but the sentiments is made of Rose Gold.

For the background of this card, I pieced in the four colors of cardstock into the Layered Snowflake Stars Cover die B; then I removed the frame so it revealed the white cardstock underneath.

I put the colors in completely randomly. I think I like navy, peony, stone and lime together!

For the flowers, I used 2 darker navy Distress Oxides for the layers and Black ink as the outline layer. Then I used a lime ink for the center of the flowers.

I die cut the thanks from rose gold foil and adhered it onto navy paper. I popped up the sentiment strip and flowers with foam tape. I really love how these colors worked together. Grateful for AECP and this class for really pushing me to try some new things!

I’m often asked what supplies I use to make my cards, so I’ve made a list here using affiliate links when possible. If you make a purchase with these links I may receive a small commission. These help me to keep up with blog costs and continue bringing you fun projects. Thank you so much for your support!

Thanks for stopping by today!

May your days be filled with sunshine,
