#TGIFC580: To a Forever Kind of Friend

Hello, friends! This week's challenge at TGIF Challenges is a color challenge, and this is a good one!

Creation Station: June Hop

It's time for this month's Creation Station Design Team hop! Our theme this month is to use a new In Color with a Core Color plus a neutral. For my color combination, I've paired Pretty in Pink with Granny Apple Green and Basic White.

 

Isn't this stamp set just the cutest? It's called Sweetest Peas, and it's full of punny sentiments. I love it!

 

I've created a soft background of Pretty in Pink by using a Blending Brush. Then I die cut circles using the Spotlight on Nature Dies. The peas are colored in Granny Apple Green and Pretty in Pink, with just a bit of Summer Splash to add some contrast on the party hat.

 

I hope you'll hop along to see what the rest of the team has created this month! Up next is the wonderful Teri West.

 

 

Happy Stamping!
