Pineapple Of My Eye CCS598

by Joanne James10. November 2026 12:00

It's Tuesday and time for a new challenge over at CAS Colours & Sketches. Deborah is hosting this month and our first challenge is a colour challenge: 

  

These colours made me think of summer so I'm changing things up from the run of festive Christmas cards that I have been making to bring you a splash of summer colour - take a look:

 

Here's the low-down on today's card:

I thought that this little cutie from My Favourite Things, 'Pineapple Of My Eye', would work well for these colours and allow me the opportunity to feature lots of Hydrangea Hue - one of my favourite blues at the moment. I coloured her and cut her out, but stencilled a Crushed Curry sunburst behind her for a little added pop of sunshine colour:

A simple sentiment completes my card.

As a reminder, for our colour challenges, you must use all of the stated challenge colours. You may also use neutral colours; however, the challenge colours should be the most noticeable ones featured on your card. We use Stampin' Up! colour names for reference, but you are welcome to use any other companies' products as long as you match the challenge colours as closely as possible.

Enjoy your day and I'll be back tomorrow with another project. Until then, happy stampin'!
