Good morning, Friends! It's time for another fun Thursday challenge from the ladies at Create with Connie and Mary! This week they have pulled up some really fun colors to use for this week's challenge! Take a look!
Summer Starfruit, Gumball Green and Chocolate Chip! And here is how I used them!
Summer Starfruit is one of those colors that seems to have people either loving it or hating it. And I think I have hear of more 'hates' than 'loves'. So I thought it was great that Connie and Mary decided to have us show it some 'love'!! I definitely don't hate the color but I do have a hard time using it. It is not one of my 'go to' colors. So maybe we can say that Summer Starfruit is just misunderstood - lol!! Ok. On to the card! Another very simple one. I embossed a piece of Summer Starfruit card stock with the Woodgrain embossing folder and popped it up onto a card base of Summer Starfruit. Then I adhered a piece of Chocolate Chip that was punched with the scallop edge border punch. I stamped the leaf from Wonderfall in Gumball Green onto Very Vanilla and fussy cut it out. This is popped up onto the card. I stamped the greeting from Made for You in Chocolate Chip onto a strip of Very Vanilla and flagged one end. This is adhered to the leaf. The final touch was to add a bronze button that has some Very Vanilla 1/8" taffeta ribbon woven in it.
Be sure that you visit the Create with Connie and Mary website to see what the other talented designers came up with! I hope you are inspired to play along this week! Upload your card to their website so that we can all take a look! Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Love the CAS design! :-)
ReplyDeleteI had to comment just in case you are keeping a summer starfruit tally! LOL!! You can put me on the "hate" side. I was just talking to another demo the other day about how awful the color is! LOL!! If I ever use up my entire paper stash, I'm sure that pack of summer starfruit will still be sitting on the shelf. Your card is great in spite of the summer starfruit, though!
ReplyDeleteVery cute. Love the woodgrain combined with the leaves...it is perfect. And the button accent is wonderful! I LOVE Summer Starfruit...it is a fun color! It's not yellow, it's not green...it's somewhere in between.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great CAS design. I'm on the side of loving Summer Starfruit (although I didn't start out that way), so how could I not love a card that features it in all it's glory! It looks fantastic embossed in woodgrain and that big leaf is the perfect accent!
ReplyDeleteSuper job with the Summer Starfruit, the color is finally starting to grow on me. Nice fallish card!
ReplyDeleteThis is a fabulous card. Your sketch is awesome and of course the colors!
