lavender and roses

a rose is a rose ... and summertime



I made these two cards for the Hero Arts 90 Minute Scramble hosted by Natalie.  The challenge was Christmas in July, making a Christmas card with non traditional colours or making a card incorporating red and green in the design.  I just couldn't get out those Christmas stamps ... not yet, so I decided to make summertime cards using red and green ... two colours that are a little challenging for me!  But none the less, I enjoyed the challenge, it was lots of fun! I was quite inspired, since I haven't really had time to be creative lately.

... the weekend is almost done  ... and a new week is about to begin
thank you for visiting ... have a safe and enjoyable week!

    I think you did fabulously with those two colours! I especially adore the second card, I think I am biased because of my love of butterflies. It was a challenge getting out those Christmas stamps! I have never witnessed this phenomenon of Christmas in July until I came to he US last year! I find it a real pity really.

    I really like both of these cards Susanne. I love the panel being placed askew in the first and also the simple stamping of the image.

    My favourite is the 2nd one - so adorable! Love the "red-flower-body" of the butterfly - the whole card design is just gorgeous! I would have never thought, that it is possible to make such a BEAUTIFUL card out of this red-green-color-combination!
