Just Us Girls #734 - Color Week

Stephanie is the host for Color Week at Just Us Girls and these are the colors she has chosen.


I went a totally different way than you would expect with these colors.


The yellow said lemon to me so I got out my Lawn Fawn set and made a bunch of them.  The background is Watercolor Stripes coverplate from Altenew cut in coral cardstock.  I cut one of the stripes in white so that I could stamp the sentiment from Trinity Stamps and inset it in the space.  

I said I made a bunch of lemons so here is the other card I made with them. I must admit I made this first but then realized I couldn't use the green for the challenge. 


I ink blended a background with Squeezed Lemonade and Abandoned Coral and arranged the lemons across it, including some leaves and a flower.  Same lemons but these look brighter than the first card.  It's all a matter of photography. 

What do you think of when you hear coral and yellow?  We'd love to see what you come up with using our colors.  For inspiration please check out the Design Team and our guest Cat Craig. 

In case you haven't noticed, we've extended our timeline, moving the challenge deadline to Wednesday at 6:00 pm.  The Winner of the Week will be posted at 7:00 am the next day, one hour before the challenge goes live.
