HMFMC #163 Color Challenge

Good Monday Morning All.  Today we have a brand new challenge over at House Mouse & Friends and this week I have picked the theme.  I decided to go with a color challenge using Amethyst (February's birthstone), white and one other color.  I'd like to share my card with you.
I used this completely adorable image titled "Nose To Nose In Flowers".  I colored it up with my Copics then cut it out with a SB die.  I pierced just the top and bottom of the die cut piece and then matted it all onto green and purple card stock.  The sentiment is made with a Cuttlebug die and the background paper was in my stash.  The gems were also in my stash for maybe 6 or 7 years now.  'Bout time I pulled them out and used them, don't you think?  I hope I have enticed you enough to hop over to House Mouse and Friends to see all the fantastic cards my Teamies made.  We would really be thrilled if you join in on the fun. We also have some terrific prizes that you might win from our

  1. Donna, what a sweet pair, and you have colored them and the flowers up to perfection. Pretty soft colors, great idea for the theme. We are buried here in snow, piled everywhere and because it is so cold no thaw...Ugh, Spring can't start up soon enough!!

  13. I do love House Mouse stamps, Donna, but mostly I love what you do with them! Fantastic coloring and the gems in the corners are wonderful. The color combo obviously appeals to me because of the purple but that die cut sentiment is marvelous. All in all, this is just incredible!

  20. Let's see...what I love on this one: The image, sweet, your color scheme..dramatic & pretty...the die cut, the piercing - really enhanced that die, and all the lovely background papers. Oh yes, you know I love the sentiment dies! Well done Donna, and hope you are faring ok in this nasty PA weather. Several of my PA buddies are getting some bad stuff, so stay warm & safe.
