Woohoo! I'm excited - this is my first time to participate in the monthly Papertrey Ink Blog Hop! The June Blog Hop challenge is to work with a favorite Papertrey Ink color combination. I came up with a lot of different fun color combos - in fact, the birthday card for my dad that was in my last post was originally a potential blog hop project. ;) Soooo, here is the color combo that I will highlight tonight:
I love the richness of the brown and orange, and the simply chartreuse is just the perfect green to work with them! So, here is my card:
I used my new Outlines Alphabet and colored the letters with Copics from the Terracotta Tile and Simply Chartreuse trios. I also tried a tip from Nichole's blog and colored some white ribbon with Copics, but then I ended up almost completely covering it up, LOL! I found some brads in my stash that also coordinated well with this color combo, and thought they made a nice addition.
By the way, just to share it - here is the color combo from Dad's birthday card, in my last post:
I'm off to hop to some blogs!! Be sure to check out everyone's great projects that will be linked up on Nichole's Blog tonight, starting at 8:00pm Eastern!
