I am posting a card that I made yesterday for Linda's (Creative Harmony) Challenge - http://creativeharmony.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/almost-white-papercraft-challenge.html. I started out with one idea in my head ie I was going to do the background as half embossed. I changed my mind, as per usual, then just followed my imagination. I hadn't a clue where I was heading, however I was really pleased with the result. If it is tooooo lilac-y Linda, please feel free to delete it though.
My colours are White Base, Lavender diecuts, White/Lavender flowers with a little hint of green.
Ingredients :
White card from Sue Wilson's Neutral card pack
Persian Motif/Accents die
Ironworks Motif
LOTV Sentiment stampMilled Lavender DI
Flowers/Ribbon from my stash
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog, I hope you like the card I made for Linda's Challenge.
Big hugs to you all and I hope you have a great day - even if it is raining - as here!
SUE

Fabulous Sue. I like the combination of dies - and I love that lilac!! I have been working on my entry this morning. I think my thought processes are starting to come together Rather painful too!!! Good luck with the challenge. Love from Christien xx
ReplyDeleteVery elegant. xxx
ReplyDeleteWOW! This is stunning Sue. I love the design and the delicate touches of lilac are so pretty. I'm the same as you, I think, in that I often have an idea in my head but I usually change my mind half way through!
ReplyDeletehugs Sue
Sue this is lovely such a delicate colour to choose. Good luck with the challenge. Love Christie H xx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteOoh this is perfect, why would I contemplate deleting this from the Challenge, it has everything I asked for. Main colour of white with lilac as the secondary colour and green being the tiny accent colour. Like I said, perfect! Ah.... sorry, on checking your card again, I may have to disqualify it after all...... it's prettier than mine!!
LOL!! Only teasing... it is prettier, but I would never consider disqualifying it.
Thank you so much for your entry, I was so excited when I saw it today.
Don't think me sad but I can't wait to do the challenges. I get so excited as I wait to see what everyone else sees in the theme provided. If I could afford it I would be doing challenges every week just for the thrill of seeing the theme become something tangible.
To end, please go to my blog anytime after 4.30pm there is a little surprise for you.... see you there.
Regards Linda xx
