Sneak Peek: Birthday Roses
This week I’ve been doing some reading about color theory. I’ve been learning about what different colors are supposed to represent and the feelings they are supposed to evoke. But, even with all that research, I’ve also been spending time thinking about what colors make me feel.
The colors I used on this card happen to be the colors that I am drawn to. According to my reading, purple represents majesty, spirituality, mystery, and royalty. Seems about right to me. I do put my stamp on the back of my cards saying I’m the Queen of Crafting. 🙂
Blue says you are trustworthy and reliable. It also has a calming effect and sometimes represents feeling “blue” or sad.
What do you think? What are the feelings you get when you look at this card? Is it calming and mysterious? Does it make you believe that I really wish you a happy birthday?

Angel – your card is just so lovely and I think of royalty when I see purple – although I also use purple a lot when creating sympathy cards – thanks for the info on colors – I am definitely a “blue” person – my go to color for sure in my wardrobe! Thanks for joining us at TicTacToe Challenge this week.
Thanks Betty. I’m drawn to purples and blues. They do seem to have a calming effect on my mood.
Beautiful Angel – these flowers are fabulous and I am totally hooked on diecutting them! Thanks for playing along with my sketch challenge over at The Paper Players and Tic Tac Toe this week!
Thanks Joanne. I am obsessed with that paper. I spent about an hour just cutting out flowers from one piece of that paper last week. Now I’m stocked up for awhile.
I’m definitely digging the deep purple and blue hues on your flowers 🙂 I do think blues and greens are soothing, I tend to use one or both on sympathy cards. Thanks for playing along with the Paper Players!
Thanks Christy. I am drawn to deep colors–blues and purples especially.
It makes me think what a gorgeous combination of colours Angel!! Love that sketch and how you’ve interpreted it too. Thank you for playing with us at Tic Tac Toe challenge! Vicky x
Thanks so much Vicky. That is my favorite color combination.
