Take a look at the the palette of colors I've been playing with lately. I really love the Halloween colors but don't send many Halloween cards or projects. So, I've been trying to incorporate these lovely shades into projects for other occasions. Here are the supplies I've pulled onto my work area while I play with this palette.
Cardstock/Ink:
- Basic Black
- Whisper White
- Kraft
- Old Olive
- Rich Razzleberry
- Dusty Durango
- Crushed Curry
- Orchid Opulence
Accessories:
- 1/2" Polka-Dot Ribbon in Crushed Curry, Dusty Durango, and Rich Razzleberry
- Black Gingham Ribbon along with 1/4" Black Grosgrain
- Black Hemp (this is from my retired stash)
- Vintage Brads (black in particular)
- Rhinestone Brads (orange, yellow, purple, green all blend with this palette)
- Playground Buttons (Old Olive)
Designer Series Paper
- Night and Day
- Old Olive Patterns
- Razzleberry Lemonade
One of the first cards that I made with this palette is this Thanksgiving number:
I based it a card I did a few years ago with another jumbo word wheel. This is card is one of the choices in my upcoming October Card Buffet class. Note that this card doesn't have any Old Olive or kraft. That's the beauty of playing with a palette. You don't have to use all of the colors!
I invite you to pull together an October Petals Palette of your own and join me. Use whatever shades of Purple, Green, Orange and Yellow that you have, along with black, white and kraft. Feel free to share your post in my comments section. If you post your work on other sites like Splitcoaststampers or Stampin' Addicts you may want to use palette.10.2009 as keyword so that we can easily find others' work with this palette. Feel free to add other accessories as you see fit.
Stay tuned for more October Petals cards as I'm lovin' these colors!
Thanks for stopping by!
