Challenge #33 - Colour Challenge

This fortnight's colour challenge is an easy one - you can only use retiring colours but you can use Whisper White or Very Vanilla as your neutral colour. The side twist is to use a patterned paper that will also be retiring because of the colours in it or because Stampin' Up have already stated that it will be retired at the end of the catalogue.

Up first is Amy's beautiful ode to the pale purples that are going in October. It's such a shame that these ones are going as they really are pretty shades of purple.

Recipe:

Stamps: Mr & Mrs, Trendy Trees

Ink: Lovely Lilac, Lavender Lace

Paper: Tea Party DSP, Lovely Lilac, Lavender Lace, Almost Amethyst, Whisper White

Accessories: Markers, Mellow Moss button, whisper white satin ribbon, purple glitter, white signo gel pen, word window punch.

Next is Elaine's beautiful card using the same DSP as Amy but with different colours of cardstock this time. The first photo shows the front of the card.

This second photo shows the card partially opened.

And the last of Elaine's photos shows the inside in more detail. What a fabulous design huh?

And finally here's mine. I didn't use any Tea Party DSP, but chose the NIght & Day pack which will also be retiring in October and teamed it with a bright pink and purple to make a folder for my nestabilities. Amy told me how to do this when I visited her this week and there are more details on my blog.
