CC102: Chinese New Year

[emilymomto3boys]

So, this combo was suggested by smallpigpig in honor of the Chinese New Year! (It was actually this past weekend, but is celebrated all week long.) We'll be making some kind of Chinese themed cards - or at least the colors will be! As always - adjust as necessary to fit your supplies - THIS IS JUST A GUIDELINE!

CC102:
real red

basic black

gold

Please put CC102 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!

As always, I am open to suggestions for future color challenges! Please pm me if you have one. Including a sample is always appreciated! I will probably not respond, as I get several, but I save them for future reference!

What a fun color challenge. Here's my card...

Friendship Blossoms

[lisastamper]

I really hope I can play this week! It's been WAY too long since I've played, but now that I've finished the 450 invitations for my kids' school auction (all complete with faux diamond dust on the front panel--did that take FOREVER!), I'm hoping to get back in the groove! Off to bed so I can play awake tomorrow!

[squirrellyshirley]

Well, it's not approved yet, but I'll go ahead and link it!!

I don't have any Asian stamps either but I really like how this turned out despite running out of tape at MIDNIGHT!!

Colors sound awesome together. Hope I can find the time to play today.

I truly love Asian cards. Isn't it amazing how the whole tone changes depending on which color - red, gold or black - is dominant!!! Beautiful cards today, ladies!
