Something old....well, that would be the Apricot Appeal CS and ink as well as the Mellow Moss, Only Orange, and Ballet Blue inks.....they'll soon be gone! They are part of our Fond Farewell colors series. And something new......check out that background. It's the brand-new Square Lattice Embossing Folder, which you can soon buy! It is in the new Summer Mini Catalog; all the new items in that great little catalog will become available on May 1. Another newbie on this card is the fun, new 2-step Awash with Flowers....it's a sneak peak set!! But, you can own this now....check out the promo here.So, our Challenge this week was a tough one....a color challenge. Usually, these are kinda fun, but this week....well, just let's say it took a LOT of tries to get this color combo to work! We were to use Moss, Orange, and a Blue. Think about that.....NOTHING even sounds at all appealing about that one!
Well, like I said, after quite a few failed attempts, I was able to come up with this sample.....but I added in a little Apricot Appeal (which is kind of orange-ish!) and that seemed to help. The moss is actually Mellow Moss and was used for the stems and leaves. I think this one will work, don't you?!!
