Just Us Girls #576 - Color Week

Hello friends!  This week over at Just Us Girls, Nancy is hosting our Color Week challenge.  She has chosen this beautiful array of colors.

 

I at first had a brain freeze with regards to these colors.  This is the second attempt at them. My first is below.  I just received this beautiful Altenew clematis stamp set and realized that these colors would look fabulous on it.  I originally bought the stamp set because I love clematis and have one growing in my garden.  It, however, is a beautiful dark pink color.  But I love it in the yellow as well.  I used copic markers to color it.  The card base is white so I added a gray piece of cardstock to it to mat the main panel.  I added yellow crystals and shimmer spray.  I'm adding that spray to almost every card!  It's so pretty!

This was my first attempt at these colors.  I wasn't sure about it, but the more I look at it, the more I like it.  It's much prettier in person.  I was playing with some Kitchen Sink Stamps that I've had forever (I think it was because of a Jennifer McGuire video!) and never used.  I stamped the half pear in browns and yellows then masked it to stamp the full pear and leaf.  I die cut it with an oval die.  I die cut a scalloped oval from dark green cardstock and adhered them together.  I found a Valentine paper pack that had the solid gray and patterned gray papers.  On the solid gray, I stamped and embossed the sentiment.  I adhered the pattern paper to it and the oval main panel is adhered with craft foam.  I added yellow crystals and that shimmer again.
