Colour challenge cards
Good morning friends/bloggers, it's a lovely sunny day here
today. I hope you have sun too! Over at the 'Less is More'
challenge this week it's a ..................................................
Colour Challenge
"This month we would like you to choose TWO opposite
colours from this Colour Wheel"
(I will add it at the bottom or otherwise my card won't
show up in posts.) My first thought was to use 'violet red
and yellow green', but my violet red ink wouldn't stamp
very well with my image. I tried instead some violet ink
which worked really well. Of course then I had forgotten
the colour violet should be teamed with yellow and not
yellow green. Arghhh!! I only realised after I had finished
making the card and taken a photo...typical. So I set to
work and made another, this time I couldn't get the image
to stamp cleanly. So after numerous attempts I resorted to
making a matted image with one I was happy with. I
added my yellow butterfly, gems and sentiment and job
done.Phew.....and relax.Come and have a closer look
at my cards. I will show you both versions seeing as I
have already taken photo's of them.Rather liking the violet
and green myself but you can choose which looks best.Not
made a card in almost 2 weeks now, so struggling a tad.
ps. I am still feeling terrible with this horrid cold virus and I
am SO glad you can't see me too. I am not a pretty site atm.
believe me lol, my eye is partially closed because of
conjuntivitis. Having not slept again ( awake at 1 ish then
got up at 5am., coughing all night etc. ) I don't have bags
under my eyes now I have mahoosive suitcases! My eye was
glued shut when I woke up so I was stumbling about trying
to find the bathroom looking a very sorry site. Almost
frightened myself when I caught site of my face in the mirror
too.It's all not good people lol.Sorry for the long post now too.
pps.Ooops mean't to add.......a very big welcome to all my
latest followers , welcome aboard and thanks for choosing me.

Oh Viv poor you! Bad enough feeling poorly and looking a sight but lack of sleep is a killer, says the girl who never has problems in that department!! Love your cards, the violet and lime is my fav colour combo but I love the first layout with the crunched corner:) Hope your weather is as good as ours, it was wonderful yesterday but is very windy and cooler today but still sunny.

Both cards are stunning, Viv! I do hope that you feel better very, very soon!
Two fabulous cards. Bothe colour combinations are super but I like the raised image on the first.
Sorry to hear you are unwell. Hope you are better soon.
Sorry to hear you're still sick Viv, sounds like a nasty bug you've had. I hope the eye gets better soon too.
Your cards are both lovely, it's nice to see the contrast in colours.
Cheers,
Beccy
Poor you Viv - it sounds like you've really been through the mill. Hope you feel better soon. Glad to see you've been able to make some cards - and what a gorgeous design. I do like the one with the yellow butterfly best but they're both beautiful! Vicky x
Stunning cards Viv as always.
Hope you're better soon.
