The Artful Stampers Blog Hop #116

Welcome from Nicole’s blog.

This week is our last challenge for 2016 and we have a Colour Challenge.

This is what we had to work with:

This is what I came up with:

CASE'd from Michelle Lupton

I know the colours we were given are quite bold but I muted them down by watercoloring and 2nd gen stamping. I used Elegant Eggplant for my sentiment and dashes but the colour is so dark that it looks like black. I also used a few neutral colours for may card stock which may be bending the rules just a little. (wink)
