I only use and share products that I genuinely love.

I link to several stores in the UK and US and as of July 1, 2017 I am an affiliate member of Scrapbook.com, Amazon UK, Ellen Hutson (store retiring), and (as of April 2022) The Greetery - this means that when you click on an affiliate link and go on to make a purchase I will receive a small percentage at no cost to you. Money raised through affiliate links will go straight towards my crafting fund. Finally, please note that any products marked "(r)" are retired and may no longer be available for sale online.

2017 Pantone card challenge - September

September has arrived and it's time for a new colour prompt!

This month we're seeing out summer and moving into autumn and the perfect choice for that transition is:

Golden Lime

This shade of green sits between a chartreuse and lime - not necessarily the easiest tone to match, however the prompt I've found provides us with a colour scheme for inspiration.

Here are a few tips for this month's colour:

As you can see Golden Lime works very nicely against pastel tones and a neutral off white. It is the perfect shade for rose leaves and of course any other foliage to accompany floral elements.
The mix of green shades above would work really nicely in 3-step stamping (a particular favourite of mine) and the light blue background could be easily coloured in with watercolours around a focal image.
If you've moved into Christmas card production mode, then again working pastels in with traditional festive images like wreaths and winter scenes with trees is very on trend.
Alternatively you can hop on the tail end of the citrus trend we've been seeing in crafting and homeware this summer - if you have citrus-themed embellishments or stamps, get them on a card.
Green can be a difficult colour to focus on, but sometimes it's about finding the right colours to use it with so that it provides the right contrast and a nice pop!

I hope you have fun with this one - happy crafting!
