Gallon, Quart, Pint Challenge

There was one challenge over at Papertrey Ink's Stamp-a-Faire that really caught my attention. I'm aware of the gallon:quart:pint color theory, but I don't usually make a deliberate point of using it. So this challenge was really a good brain builder!


So the idea is to pick three colors; one color is used the most, the other is used next, and the last color is used the least.

I was also inspired by this color scheme and sketch provided in the first challenge of the day:



I used the bold teal, deep yellow, and pale green. Pattern papers are from Studio Calico "Sundrifter". I used Hero Arts inks in "Butter Bar" and "Tide Pool". The stamps and dies are Papertrey Ink "Bubble Talk".


Gallon = Pale avocado green. Quart = Dark teal.  Pint = Dark yellow


I think my craft area has gotten enough use for one day. Time to enjoy the rest of the beautiful evening :)

    I think this card perfectly fits the GQP rule. Add to it the fun and oh-so-trendy papers and stamps, and the literal "flow" and it's an exemplary design.
