Amazing you - Global Design Project #069 Colour Challenge

hello all

and hope you've  had a lovely week -

You know when you have an occasion to congratulate someone, tell them you are thinking of them, perhaps someone needs a bit of a bolstering up or encouragement, is perhaps not feeling too well  - well of course as a Stampin' Up demonstrator what better way to say it than with a card.... !

and this week  I opted to take up the current challenge over at the Global Design project site
where for no. #69, we have a Colour Challenge and so used this as inspiration to get me thinking.

yep - we had Delightful Dijon, silver and a colour of your choice., to play with.!

Now hands  up - who numbers Delightful Dijon as one of their favourite, go to colours.?

Well I for one,  must admit to being very colour challenged with this  - so had a real tussle on my hands,  but finally decided to pair it with, of all things,  Mint Macaron and was really pleased how it turned out..  and I did indeed make a card!

I used the lovely Shimmery white card stock for my topper- as this takes water colouring beautifully. I divided the card into 3rds and with a bit of masking/sponging, stamping, aqua-painting later - finally  came up with this.

Originally  i just had the 'Amazing You' as the only sentiment and although I had it popped up on Stampin' dimesionals still  thought it needed something more - so added 'Celebrate...' as an after thought but think it works.

 what do you all think? Hopefully the recipient liked it and felt a bit more like her old self.!
