Welcome back to a new challenge at Colorful Options but firstly thank you so much for so many wonderful entries for our Flags challenge for July you really do make it difficult to choose our winners.

This month, we challenge you to use the color yellow-green.  This palette incorporates yellow, green, and yellow-green. If this palette is not to your liking, join us with a rainbow-inspired craft instead. 

I knew immediately what I wanted to make for this challenge and even though this isn’t a color combination I would usually go for I really like the result.

I used one of my favourite flower dies from Honeybee stamps lovely layers roses which I coloured with Distress Oxides in twisted citron and squeezed lemon. The mason jar is courtesy of Sizzix and is filled with a few sequins from my stash. Unfortunately due to the glare from the plastic I had to sacrifice the clarity of the Tim Holtz sticker sentiment.

Here’s a second card I threw together just for fun made using my Cameo the banana is cut and popped up with foam for dimension and coloured with Distress Oxides and a splash of water. Not one of my best but I made it so I’m posting it hahaha. Once again the sentiment isn’t very clear and I can’t even complain about the glare from the plastic this time just bad photography on my part.

We do hope you will join us at Colorful Options the DT has some amazing cards to delight and inspire and we look forward to seeing your amazing projects in our gallery. Don’t forget you can enter with any crafty medium from crochet to woodwork and anything in between.

Take care
