I have been thinking about the color challenge at Color My Heart for a looooong time. I am rather weak in coordinating colors and I tend to go with conservative color combos, especially those that are prepared in patterned paper. Nonetheless, I constantly push myself to try out new color combos.
This week the color combo at Color My Heart is Pacifica, Outdoor Denim and Ruby - two shades of blue and a red:
Sarah also told us that it is the color combo from the ProPlayer paper pack. But the patterns are really big and I can't possibly think of using it on a card, what should I do?
I totally meant to test it out but end up liked this idea. It is a great way to tackle a color challenge:
I loaded the paper to the Cricut machine and randomly cut some circles of various sizes. Then I randomly arranged the circles on a card and stamped a birthday greeting. Easy peasy. It makes a fun manly birthday card!
My card is also entering the following challenges:
Penny's Paper-Craft Challenge - no squares
Make in Monday
Through the Craft Room Door - Anything Goes
