Just Us Girls #159: Color Challenge


It's Saturday and time for our challenge at Just Us Girls! Check out this amazing color combo that Marisa came up with for us this week!  Isn't it fabulous!  I love the shades of colors and it is very different from anything I would have come up with on my own!  For my card base, I used SU Sahara Sand and then added Calpyso Coral forthe bigger flowers, stamped off the same color for the funky circle images and add a touch of yellow circles with gray leaves.  Perfect if you need a not-so feminine card! Or...you could make it very feminine too!
So how does it inspire you?  We'd love to have you play along with us at Just Us Girls

Love way you used the colours, Lynn :) The leaves are fabulous as is the flower and berry(?) you added. Fabulous CAS creation :) Have a great weekend! I'm hoping it rains itself out tonite so I don't have to stand in the rain to watch my son's soccer game.

I'm always thrilled to hear nice.
This season is autumn favorite of the Japanese people.
Very bright autumn leaves are beautiful.
The ancient capital of Japan, please search Kyoto.
Great ancient capital of the world leads to impress foreign people.
I'm sorry I was wrong spell.

oh, this has a funky kind of groove to it! Love the sweet little banner on the side :) We've got a bit of snow today at the upper elevations (which is where we live! lol)! EEK! Not much as it's mixed with rain, but it's snow! Hope you're having a great start to the weekend!

Clever idea to stamp off for the lighter colour. May have to "borrow" that from you. :)
