Circle Circus Purses
The colors for the Tuesday Color Challenge #229 at Splitcoast were Certainly Celery, Pixie Pink, and Apricot Appeal. These colors may sound easy but was a bit more difficult than I thought. All the colors are very bold colors and easily overpowering. The samples people came up with were really amazing.
I had a lot of fun creating mine once I determined how much of each color should be on the card.
HINT: A good rule of thumb is after your main color, your second color should be no more than 1/2 as much as your main color, and the 3rd color should be no more than 1/2 as much as the 2nd color, and so on. Hope that makes sense.
Inspiration for this card came from Jacquelyn Pederson's (aka jeddibamps) card at Splitcoast. These are purses I could see myself carrying down here in Florida! I love the purse pattern created from Circle Circus stamp set, another one of my all time favorites!
Purse Instructions:
- The purse was made with a 1 3/8" circle punch and Circle Circus stamp set
- The latch was a piece of the Eyelet Border punch and a Vintage Brad
- The handle was created by first punching an oval hole in a piece of card stock using the Large Oval punch and then punching an oval frame around the oval hole using the Scallop Oval punch.
God Bless,
