Fall is finally in the air here in the south where I'm located and we're just beginning to see the warm, rich colors of Fall emerge. I hear color is at its peak on the upper Eastern seaboard, so today's JustRite Friday Challenge #040 is a more relaxed color challenge (no exact/specific colors) -- just the Colors of Fall!
From deep burgundy, to warm gold and vivid orange, your challenge this week is to use those wonderful rich colors of Fall with your JustRite stamps. Now if this, to you, means a black Halloween bat, cat or witch -- go for it ... Halloween is Fall holiday after all, right?!!
This week's challenge sponsor are the fabulous folks at Flower Soft! They've provided the JustRite design team with some of their wonderful product and wait until you see all the wonderful Fall color inspiration our design team AND the Flower Soft design team have for you today! You can find out more about Flower Soft's product and video tutorials on how to use it at Flower Soft TV and keep up with them daily at their blog.
Flower Soft has recently introduced new Ultra Fine to their product mix and now Gold & Silver in their Diamond Range of product! Be sure to check back for our November 19 Friday Challenge, when the JustRite designers will be highlighting the Gold & Silver Flower Soft!
Here's the fabulous Fall JustRite inspiration the Flower Soft design team has for you -- thanks for the wonderful samples, ladies!
