CC279: Wild Cherry Mist!

gbedwright · 07-12-2010, 07:31 PM

It is time for another fun color combo challenge with dessert option. This week the dessert option is for Cards for a Cause! The Teapotters are sending cards and I hope some of us decide to send cards to Mark, too. More information about this in the dessert option area. As for the colors this week, while my color choices may not be the more obvious ones, I think you will enjoy working with these. Together they sort of sound like a light, refreshing carbonated drink. I think they can be used from manly themed cards to flowers! You can play as many times as you like! Enjoy!

Please keep in mind, too, that while we list SU colors for the challenges these are just color reference points. Use the closest colors you have. We want everyone to be able to play!!!

Please put CC279 in your keywords section (and if you have more than one challenge use a comma to separate them) so we can find your card! If you need help uploading click here!

I will be hosting the color challenges for the next few weeks. If there is a color combo you want to see using any of the new in colors, please pm me with the link to the card. Try to stay within three color choices. Thanks so much!

Cool color combo Betty! If we don't have Marina Mist or Cherry Cobbler yet - any suggestions for substitutions? It is going to be a while until I save up enough to afford the new colors... :(

StampingQueenJAR · 07-12-2010, 07:36 PM

Sounds fun, Betty! I am off to play!

imastampin · 07-12-2010, 07:37 PM

Ooooo, I love the new colors, unfortunately I don't have them. I'll have to see if I can come up with some substitutes. As the painter says in Mr. Blanding Builds His Dream House (great movie, btw) the colors are red, blue and green. lol

allee's · 07-12-2010, 07:41 PM

My new colors have shipped but haven't arrived!! I'll see if I have anything close.

Oh I LOVE that movie!!

"How is that well coming?
Not good - there's a ledge. we have to drill.
What's a ledge? Is it a boulder?
No, it's like a big big rock, only bigger?
Like a boulder?
NO! Like a LEDGE!"

LOL!

I edited the post with some generic color options. If you have PTI new leaf it is almost an exact match(to me) for SU wild wasabi. The cherry cobbler is a deep blue red. Real Red is brighter. The marina mist is like a medium denim blue in color to me. HTH! However, there REALLY are NO challenge police!;)

LOL@'Challenge Police" - you are so funny Betty!

I think I will use Brocade Blue and Riding Hood Red or some Cranberry Crisp if I can find some. I have the perfect set picked out for the little boy, just have to decide on a layout...

2 years of chemo? WHOA! Poor thing...

Anne Ryan · 07-12-2010, 08:14 PM

Hope I have something close to those SU colors! Thanks Betty!

StampGroover · 07-12-2010, 08:30 PM

Thank you so much for mentioning our Nephew Mark and encouraging others to send him a smile...Its so exciting to see all the wonderful people here getting involved! We are in awe of this as well as everyone in Marks family! Blessing to you all!

Here's my 'close to the colors' CARD.

Miss Boo · 07-12-2010, 09:57 PM

Sweet combo! I just got my colors today and I've spent a couple of hours making my sample chart.

Miss Boo · 07-12-2010, 09:59 PM

I just read about Mark. Poor thing. I had a student once that went through Cancer. Long hard road.

StampingQueenJAR · 07-12-2010, 10:02 PM

Here is mine! Loved the colors!

sleepyinseattle · 07-12-2010, 10:28 PM

Thanks, Betty! I'll get a card out to Mark in the morning. Probably not this one, it is a little too girly. Thanks for taking up this great and worthy cause.
Here is my color challenge card:

n5stamper · 07-13-2010, 03:49 AM

Here is my STRAWBERRIES FOR YOU.

bfinlay · 07-13-2010, 03:59 AM

These are fabulous colors to work with - glad for the reassurance that there are no challenge police since I'm the type of person who feels guilty for no reason when I spot a police vehicle!! I hope that Mark will enjoy receiving a card from overseas, it's sent with a prayer!

marilynprestonn · 07-13-2010, 04:05 AM

I just wanted to say a special thank you for your support of Cards for Mark!!! I am excited to see the colours. They sure do match up for a masculine type card.

See you in the galleria.

bfinlay · 07-13-2010, 05:58 AM

Had to do one more with these colors, which just seemed to say "flowers" to me!

ejkeaton · 07-13-2010, 08:09 AM

It was fun using these colors!! Perfect for a cherry card I wanted to make. Here it is:

Argh - not fair for those of us that still haven't ordered the new colors, lol. Will give it a try w/substitutes, tho ... they DO look pretty together from your post.
