Today's Fun on Friday Challenge 84 at Christian Paper Crafts is to use unused colors. I used Regal Rose by Stampin' Up! That's a color that I'm definitely uncomfortable with and use it rarely – like this is maybe my third time. I paired it up with Soft Suede, Pear Pizzazz, and Daffodil Delight and it definitely pops (that's so HGTV sounding) and compliments the card as it's the same color that I used for the center of my flower. To soften up the Regal Rose sentiment panel a little bit, I ink distressed the edges with Papertrey Ink Fresh Snow and then sprayed Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist in Pearl so that it would blend with the image panel. What do you think? Thank you so much for stopping by today and be sure to join us in our challenge! God bless and have a spirit filled day.
