Another opportunity arose to 'play' while creating today! Color Hues #97: Olive and Mustard worked beautifully together with my Penny Black friends:
I just couldn't get these Wellies [from PB Christmas Fun] out of my head when I thought Olive! and a bit of Mustard worked its charm for his little feathered friend. A gift inside with Christmas wrapping paper that I'd buy in a heartbeat! I'd bet that candy cane is butterscotch - certainly NOT mustard flavored! ewwww. lol
I found a fitting sentiment among those in the MFT Toasty Greetings set, the postage panel from WF and also that lovely snowflake cover. It all came together so quickly when I found this big snowflake in my snippets!
Happy that you stopped by! See you again soon!

You knocked these colors out of the park, my friend! My brother had boots like this when we were growing up. The pup and bird are adorable and the background is FANTASTIC!
ReplyDeleteI love this adorable Christmas card! The card is so beautifully designed and the images so beautifully colored! Lovely snowflake panel, too.
ReplyDeleteOh, so marvelously sweet and adorable! I love this little pup and the whole set it comes with. The card you built around it is such a pretty design. Dogs and Penny Black... sigh... love!
ReplyDeleteThose colors look great on your Christmas card...and I am voting for a butterscotch candy cane too! That little pup is just adorable! I am swooning over that cover plate!
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love it when something comes together like that? It looks great and the snowflake is the perfect finishing touch xx
ReplyDeleteI'm sure there are treats wrapped up in that cute paper for this little pup! Adorable card, Michele and the perfect use of those colors!
ReplyDeleteGreat use of these colors for your cute pup, boots & presents, and his little birdie friend. Love that fabulous background too.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you have been having fun with this colour combo, I love that you are using it on Christmas card designs, especially when they are as cute as this one!
ReplyDeleteThose colors could be a bit dreary but never in your capable hands! This is adorable!
ReplyDeleteSOOOOOOOO doggone CUTE Michele!! Love everything about this card...from the background, the adorable pup, the butterscotch candy cane, the wellies, and of course that wonderful wrapping paper that I'd buy too! You have totally made our color combo SHINE with this AWESOME card my friend...thanks so much for sharing it with us at Color Hues!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteGreat use of the colors, Michele, and what a great card design. I love all the elements that went into it.
ReplyDeleteAdorable ... this image is so awesome in the challenge colours. Love your gorgeous background and the sweet snowflake and little birdy flying by. Great details Michele! xx
ReplyDeleteAww, so cute Michele, those olive wellies are perfect and look just like the ones sitting by my back door, less the sheep poo! Thanks for playing with the current Color Hues duo. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat use of the colors on this wonderful holiday card, Michele. Yep, butterscotch, not mustard. Your watercoloring looks fantastic and I always love seeing what you select to use for your background. It adds such lovely texture and interest!
ReplyDeleteGreat card !!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the dog !
Another great card using these fabulous colors. Your little pooch is awfully cute!
ReplyDeleteWhat a marvelous way to use the CH colors, Michele. Your entire composition is wonderful, sweet and adorable beyond words!
ReplyDeleteThis is so odd. I commented on this card yesterday and it seems the internet ate it! I love the way you've used our Color Hues combo this round. Those wellies are the cutest, and remind me of a White Elephant Gift exchange many years ago, when a friend received wellies much like these. The cute pup and birdie are delightful, and your design is great! Thanks for sharing with us at Color Hues.
ReplyDeleteI do love mustard but NOT in candy canes. Butterscotch is definitely better. LOL!! This is adorable. I love how you took a holiday scene and gave it a twist with my color choices. Thanks so much for playing with me at Color Hues my friend.
ReplyDeleteCuteness overload! What an adorable image, perfect colors for those wellies and bird, and I'd try that butterscotch cane, thank you very much
ReplyDeleteYour blog made me chuckle this morning and as much as I love Mustard, definitely not candy kind. Your card is just darling and I think your direction of Wellies for the colors was very creative. I hope you are having a lovely Fall up there and thanks for playing at Color Hues.
ReplyDeleteThose wellies were the perfect choice for the olive hue, and touches of mustard, too! Trying to imagine a mustard flavored candy cane...maybe wasabi?? > * <
ReplyDeleteOlive and mustard sounds like condiments and am just imagining them on my plate with the butterscotch for dessert. Lovely cute card coloured to perfection with great texture.
