Not an easy one for me as they are not colours I automatically reach for, or even buy (love turquoise, but tend to be predictable by coupling it with lime, not orange), but thats what a challenge is , isn't it- makes you think.
Why not join us this time with the challenge? Its STAMPOTIQUE STAMPS ONLY this week as its the first one of the month. And only one entry allowed per person as Carol is offering another $30 Gift Certificate to spend on rubber to one lucky artist drawn at random in two weeks time.
Take a hop on over to the challenge site and to the designers blog for ideas and inspiration on the theme.
I used a selection of Stampotique stamps...
HAPPY,
LEAF #1,
5 PETALED FLOWER,
TWO STICKS
The holes were created with a lever punch which I'm getting on rather well with (everything has cheese holes in it now lol) and the dots are the left overs from the holes.
Looking forward to seeing you over there :0)
If you are in the UK and looking to buy a few Stampotiques, Moira at Happy Daze stocks an enorrrrrrrmous range. Art Journey also stock Stampotique images in The Netherlands.

wonderful card...loving the hole punch look - been doing that myself too lol
Gorgeous card, Jo, love the colour combination - not something I would do either, but will try and play along this time!
What a FUN piece!! I have quite a few of these lever punches too and my DH has said STOP!....I guess he is afraid I will start taking to him or something....nah, I wouldn´t dare do such a thing.....
You'd never have guessed they weren't your colours :)
What a surprising and wonderful card, Jo! Hope you like the colour combination now.
Diffecult colours, but a wonderfull card!

Great! I wasn't sure about the colours either but I loved it once I tried it!
brilliant, love it. especially the holes, but even more than that I love that you then used the "holes" as dots!
Great card! I love the unexpected twists. Orange isn't my go-to colour either, but if there's enough turquoise to go with it, it starts to look better.
Jo, this is awesome! I totally NEED that stamp!!! Your work is pure magic!

looks fabulous!!! love all the white space around the "hello"
i think it's a gorgeous colour combination. love it Jo.
Fabby card Jo, love all the white space! such a yummy colour combo. I usually team turquoise with purple so it's a change for me to see it with orange too. Planning to wear my orange jumper tomorrow... will I be daring??? Jo x
Fab card! Really jumps up and says hello!
Great colour combination, your card looks fab.
Gorgeous card Jo, all the little details just right!
