I have never taken an art class. I have never said that I was artistic. With that being said, I do try to tap into some creativity using card challenges! Pals Paper Arts has a color challenge using the colors Blackberry Bliss, Hello Honey, and Tangelo Twist! I LOVE these bright, cheerful, and even playful colors! I needed a Thank You card so this is what I came up with implementing these colors.
It’s very simple yet this was my second card. Did I get it perfect? NOPE! My first card, I stamped the sentiment in the middle then I decided to stamp the bottom as you see it here. Then my sentiment was too low. My second attempt, I decided to do the playful border on the top and bottom. I didn’t get the top border exactly perfect. Then I stamped the sentiment last. I went with it! LOL! Is it a masterpiece? No. What counts is that I am able to participate in this color challenge! 🙂
Here is the Pals Paper Arts color challenge . . .
FYI: I used Stampin’ Write Markers to color the sentiment Thank You to have the three colors. After I colored the letters, I then “huffed” upon the letters to allow the ink to become moist again before stamping.
Here are the supplies that I used to make my card . . .

Tonya, great job with the use of the colors in the challenge. I love how you colored individual letters in the sentiment. Sometimes less is more, and this is a perfect example of it! Thanks for playing with Pals Paper Arts.
Thank you for your SWEET comment Mike! I love these colors! 🙂

Hi Tonya! I love the clean and simple design you showcased this week. I also love that you shared your trials & errors along the way. I always say – “if only people could know what’s on the backside of that paper I just glued down…” Mistakes are just a part of the creative process. I hope to see you again soon at Pals Paper Arts! Thanks for playing 🙂
Thank you for your SWEET comment Nicole! I certainly don’t mind sharing my “trials & errors” with others. Creating definitely includes just that – trials & errors! LOL! Glad you loved my VERY simple design! 🙂
