I am NOT a fan of Halloween, so I used the color combo challenge to create a purple and orange Clemson University graduation card. Go tigers! I stained my seam binding and doily die with Dried Marigold and layered over a white embossed black background. I added a few purple flowers from my stash and the new Prima Amber Moon flowers.
A simple stamped sentiment strip and some glittery die cut accents complete the look. I hope you'll be inspired to play along with our current challenge for a chance to win a $25 giftcard to the Funkie Junkie Boutique.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous card.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful bouquet to receive for graduation - and it will last! Love the new header (though it may not be so new, I guess - I'm behind with visiting again).

Absolutely stunning. Love how you mix the colours, patterns etc and produce amazing and unique projects x
ReplyDeleteNot the most obvious colorcombination, bu t for Halloween just great and I find your card strikingly beautiful! Love the gold on it too!
ReplyDeleteWow, Autumn! What a great Halloween card! I love the beautiful colours and the pretty background. Kisses!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat card! Fantastic use of green, purple and orange in a non-Halloween theme.
ReplyDeleteAutumn, I knew you were not a fan of Halloween in the least, so I knew you (and others) would appreciate the color challenge, and you did an outstanding job with it! I love that white embossed background layered with all those beautiful flowers and those glittery touches! Way to rock the challenge! Sending great big hugs! Go Tigers! PS I love your (maybe not so) new header--very professional! Can you help me with mine? :):)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous and perfectly shabby card. I love the colour combo and how nice that they are college colours so you could make something with meaning since it isn't a Halloween card. Lucky the recipient.
ReplyDeleteHugs!

We don't "do" Halloween here in Australia and I like your alternative take on the challenge. Gorgeous layering and who knew that a pop of purple would work so well with the Orange, Peach and Apricot tones. Lovely work.
ReplyDeleteAbundance is the word that comes to mind - beautiful layering/clustering. I've only just noticed the header as well - not sure if new, but sure is eye-catching!
ReplyDeletewhat a gorgeous card - such a special remembrance for the graduate and lovely to have it in the school colors! Julia xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty! Love how you used those Halloween colors.
ReplyDeleteWow! This is another amazing creation! Judy x
ReplyDeleteGorgeous layers and love the black background! Makes the orange pop! Beautiful! ;-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful halloween card! I love how it is gorgeous with the flowers and layers and yet keeps the halloween colors with the lovely black background! Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI love your beautiful card, Autumn, with those gorgeous Halloween colors! You did a great job using the colors without the theme and I especially love the pop of purple with everything else. It was great seeing you - Gail and I appreciated that you took the time to come see us. Hugs!!
ReplyDeleteStunning card with Beautiful colors!! I so love this combo Autumn- bright and cheerful!

Oh I absolutely love the layers Autumn and as a Clemson alum, I am over the moon with these colors. Go Tigers!!!!! Stunning card -- Mary Elizabeth
ReplyDeleteThat is such a sweet, feminine card, I love the way you combined the Ambermoon flowers with the Tim Holtz doily! (Was it a pain to get rid of all the little pieces after die cutting it? It looks like, if it was, it was totally worth the effort, because it looks GREAT!!!) How sweet of you to make this as a graduate card! I always say, the GIFT IS THE CARD when so much effort goes into it like this! Great job!! BTW, I used to work in Japan and met with a team of people from Clemson University! Lots of school spirit there!
