Simply Handmade by Heather: CR84FN

CR84FN

Hello. It is time for another CR84FN color challenge. This weeks colors are Plum, Lavender and Green. I have to say my main paper is looking a little Chartreuse. It is actually the Everyday Blessings paper from PTI. The color is a pattern paper in Spring Moss. I am wondering if I took the pic in natural light instead of my light tent if it would look a little more true to color. I just might do that in the morning.

I used the pretty set from Flourishes called Hello Hyacinth. I used Pumice Stone Distress ink from Ranger, pretty lace from Wrights, and a little flower from Prima.

The wonderful inspiration picture come from Embrace Life Photo.

Make sure you stop by the rest of the Design Team and see what they have for you.
