Rosanne wants to see a card that's inspired by Pantone's Colour of the Year for 2014 which is Radiant Orchid, or as us laymen like to call it, purple.
I really like the concept for this challenge. But, I being so absolutely not in the know (as usual), had to Google the Colour of the Year. I had guessed by the name that it would be purple but wanted to make certain, of course. What I didn't expect was the adjective-laden description of said colour. Really, who writes those things? Honestly, I wish there was some way someone could make a physical manifestation of Radiant Orchid, as I now do believe that said manifestation could solve world hunger, broker world peace, cure every known disease and teach me the proper way to fold a fitted sheet....all before lunchtime.
But, I will say, it's a pretty colour. (Don't tell it I said that though as I think with all the fawning it's probably well on its way to being completely narcissistic as it is.)
And, I made a card inspired by it.....(Don't tell it that either.)

ReplyDeleteWhile I do like purple, this new shade is a little diff than my go to shades.
I think I prefer brights..!!
What gave it away....!? Lol !
Cute and love the combo with the turquoise (or maybe it has a far more professional sounding title? Who knows!).
ReplyDeleteWhat a great card. Such a fun image and love how you layed everything out. The colours are great together, I really need to keep my eye open for more purple papers.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great card, you find the best images! Love how you tied it all together with purple cardstock.
ReplyDeleteHello Jan,

Such a sweet card for the birthday girl. Well done! Thanks for joining the Melonheadz challenge.
ReplyDeleteWonderful card and I like the bling added to the star brads.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Purple is kind of a 'don't know what to do with it' color for me...so I rarely use it ;) I love the brad treatment...little details...you do 'em well!
