SU! & CTMH COLORS

As ya'll know I belong to Picture Perfect Creations Design Team. PPC uses SU! colors as most of the other DT members are SU! Consultants. As a former CTMH consultant, I do not have SU! colors but CTMH ones. Finally today I'd had enough of guessing on each weekly assignment which color to uses. I have now gone thru the new 2010 SU! Color Chart & compared it to the CTMH Color Chart. Below is what I've come up with.

Some colors are not dead on, I wouldn't expcet them to be since they are from two different companies. I think they are close enough. If you see one that goes better for another, please let me know and I'll make adjustments. The only one that really bothers me is "Not Quite Navy" & "Twilight" they are pretty different but I don't have a color to match "Not Quite Navy"

Stamp says "if you cannot get rid of the FAMILY SKELETON, you may as well make it dance." I gave this card to my mom for mother's day, she LOVED it! It cracked her up :-) If you knew my family, you'd laugh too!

Here's this week's Color Combo (all colors shown are from SU!, but please use what you have that is close) :
I had so much fun playing with these colors, figuring out what I wanted them to be and how to put them together. Of course, I saw flowers in them... who wouldn't, and the other girls on my design team really are awesome at flowers... they blow me away! Since I'm basically a non-competitive person, I wanted to do something really different from my first instinct. Here's my creation:

5x7 Glossy White Base card. CTMH Cardstock in Sunny Yellow, Cranberry, Crystal Blue & Black; Zing Embossing Powder in green; CTMH White Daisy Pigment Ink; SU! Winter White Embossing Powder; CTMH You Rock Stamp Set.

oh, I almost forgot... do you see the little color areas in the background of the yellow, red & blue guitars? That's not a pre-printed papers. To do that I used a technique from CTMH's Art & Soul, Episode 4 Live Your Dreams, the technique called "Puddle Pads".
