Happy June, everyone! Can you believe it? June? Goodness, this year is just flying by...isn't it?
Today we are sharing a new challenge with you and it's a fun one. Welcome to the June Color Challenge!

Tonya says:These were colors that I would have probably never thought to have put together, but I love the result! It was so much fun to go through all of the collections I had on hand and pull stuff that fit the color scheme. I was super excited about the little bits of gold in the inspiration piece. I've been wanting to add gold to a project for a while and this was just the little nudge that I needed.
Hello Cards by Danni Reid
Supplies:Kate and Co-Oxford Lane:Bold patterned paper, Up & Away Decorative stamps,enamel dots;Find Your Wings and Fly-Up and Away:enamel dots;Misc:Papertrey ink, mounting tape, Bazzill cardstock
Danni says:I am really excited to be able to create for this post
as I love color/inspiration pieces, they are challenging and oh so fun.
I decided for my cards to
create two cards using similar supplies, but offering two different
interpretations using those supplies.
On my first Hello card, I was inspired by not only the colors but also
the stripes in the inspiration collage, I love the sentiment script and
heart element and wanted to use it as a focal. I chose to use the
stripes as a springboard and splash color for
a bold contrast.
Supplies: Find Your Wings and Fly-Up & Away:Decorative stamps,enamel dots;Kate and Co-Oxford Lane:enamel dots;Misc: Papertrey ink, mounting tape, Bazzill cardstock
Danni says:On my second Hello card, I was inspired by the color and the "do it with passion" black/white inspiration piece. I wanted to create a repeated, bold, scripted sentiment with the black/white script. The Find Your Wings and Fly Up & Away decorative stamps are so perfect for adding those special sentiments to you projects or highlighting as a focal.
