Lily Pad Palette Color Challenge

Hello Friends, Can you believe that I am back so soon?? Today Lily Pad is posting a new color challenge on the Lily Pad blog. I hope you find it fun to work with and keep in mind you don’t have to stick to the colors they are to be used as a guideline.

I have always love this rubbah from Purple Onion Designs here and I was so happy when I discovered that they were sponsoring Lily Pad’s color challenge. My March Color Kit from Simons Says Stamp was still on my stamp desk thankfully because it was the best starting point for me. (all of the papers are from the sold out kit…hint you might want to register)

After drying embossing the background I added some distress ink and Glossy Accents to each dot. Perfect for a rainy day with the sun trying to pop out. I also added Scattered Twig to everything on the card and some Tumbled Glass.
Let me know if you have any questions. Off to Syracuse for a college visit. Hugs, Kathy
Thanks for visiting me 🙂 makes me so happy.

    Love all the texture & the monochrome colours with the touch of blue & yellow. The layering of the base panels is so effective & I love how that fence extends beyond the inner two layers & into the outermost one.
    Syracuse New York?? That’s where my parents were married in 1959.
    Hope the trip goes well.
