Welcome to our 2nd colour challenge of month, Joanne has chosen some fresh, spring-inspired colours for you. Winter just got started for us today in the Southeast with a Winter Weather event believe it or not. My son is in Athens Ga where they are getting heavy wet snow and friends are in Huntsville Alabama where they are getting heavy wet snow, I’m a hour further down the road and simply getting drizzle! Not fair or cool, but gotta roll with it. So very excited to see what this springy, breath of fresh air, color combination inspires you to do. If you are up to it, please do post your creations in our CAS Colours & Sketches<\/a><\/span><\/strong> Gallery for this challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As always seems to be the way for me lately, I have more than one idea. It will actually lead to insanity if I do not at least try to create everything in my head – it spins out of control otherwise. So again, I have a two-fer for you. Very different ideas and techniques. I also came across a bit of a problem….My Daffodil Delight stamp pad seems be identical in color to my Mango Melody stamp pad. Hmmm, could be a cross contamination issue – which, the way this brain works, is a very strong possibility! So to over come that obstacle – in the color smooshing technique I seriously watered down the Daffodil Delight smoosh (in the center) so it does look lighter. To prove that there seems to be an issue here, I stamped the sentiment in Daffodil delight on the color smooshing card – the sentiment looks identical to the color smoothing Mango Melody spots – Hmmm, so operate on the pretense that less is more and the center block is the only Daffodil Delight representative. Mango Melody went hog wild. Granny Apple definitely showed up to play. The other card Mango Melody and Daffodil Delight appear one and the same – I stamped the flower images in the corners with Mango Melody, the splatter dots are Daffodil Delight, yet again they appear the same! So, I took my Daffodil Delight colored pencil and colored in the petals. The pencil clearly shows that there should be a bit more of difference between my two ink pads – clearly Daffodil Delight will need to be replaced. While I enjoyed creating the cards for you and myself – a new challenge presented itself – that made this process even more entertaining! This is simply how my world works….just gotta learn to roll with the punches!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
