Hello and welcome! It's Color Week at JUST US GIRLS, and Nancy is your hostess. She's picked the colors BLACK, RED, and YELLOW for you to play with! Here's the card I made:
I'll admit that I was kind of stumped with these colors, until I saw the second card that Shery Russ made on her post here. (Thanks for the inspiration Shery!) I used an older set of leaf stamps and did the rock and roll technique using red and yellow ink pads. I used my MISTI to get good coverage with the leaves I stamped in black ink, then fussy cut them. I wanted the sentiment to stand out more, so I added a panel of yellow behind it.
Here's the inside:
I hope you get a chance to play along for this week's color challenge at Just Us Girls! We'd love to see what you create with these colors. For more inspiration, please visit the blogs of my teammates, and our Guest Designer, Kathy Schweinfurth, and leave some bloggy lovin!

Great card using those colours, funny yellow is one of my least favourite colours to craft with. You did fab. with it.
ReplyDeleteI have a card very similar to this one for JUGS in two weeks...I had to chuckle when I saw yours! SUPER job!
ReplyDeleteOoh, this is so awesome! I can get behind the idea of red and black, but adding yellow? Must ponder...
ReplyDeleteWhat a super cool take on this challenge. I love your design, and the way you used multiple colors on the background leaves. This is just wonderful!!1

ReplyDeleteWe usually see the background in black and white and the focal point in color but you've reversed it, Chris, and I love it. I'll have to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to have those bold black leaves as you focal point with such a colourful background. Love the colourful sentiment too.
ReplyDeleteLove those leaves! Fantastic use of the fun colors this week! Great job!
