Just Magnolia have 'Bright and Zingy' as their theme this week. Eeeeeek!!!!! I don't bright, I don't do zingy but I tried. This is the most horrendous card I've ever made, it definitely took me a zillion miles away from my comfort zone. I chose the brightest papers I could find and stuck them together - yuck!!. Change the colours and papers and I quite like the card. I wasn't going to post this - then I thought why not - give everyone a 'yeuuuww' moment, just hope none of you have a hangover lol.
I'm going to do it again in nice colours and will add it to this post.
I've done the same card again in different colours - I'm showing you the gentle one first just to break you in gently, Same Tilda - both coloured with Copic Markers, The first card is using Rico papers, the second Basic Grey's Lemonade. Both Tilda's are sat on a series of Spellbinders shapeabilities Fleur De Lys pendants with flowers from stash at either corner.
I'm still struggling with my new camera, really gonna have to read those instructions, although we have been having storms here and ther's been no daylight for about 2 days.
Tell me which you like best and I'd love to know if anyone actually likes the 'Bright and Zingy' one.

Hi again Heather, had to pop back to check out the 'sunglasses' comment from before lol!
I think you've been very brave to even attempt this (I didn't!) and actually it isn't that bad, although I do prefer the first one lol!
Love your new 'Fleur de Lys' dies, just stunning.
Wow, love those cards. The colors are great.
Ohhh Heather am sat here giggling away I see what you mean by chucking the papers together it REALLY IS BRIGHT but thats what the challenge wants...I wonder how many will be as brave as you...great layout & yes like the
1st one best...
Hugs Christine xx

Hahahahaha, you crack me up!! The first card is gorgeous, or the second one? The "gentle" one, love the papers and the beautiful shapes and colouring, the second card is EXACTLY what the challenge asked for, so kudos to you!! Just pop a Happy Birthday on the front and maybe a butterfly??? and save it for the next time you need a birthday card for a younger lady, because my stepdaughters are over here owwing and awwing over it!! They think it's perfect!!! Tilda is coloured beautifully in both creations!!
Great cards Heather! I think you did a grand job on the 'bright & zingy' challenge - they are not colours I would normally go for but the card is still really pretty (albeit bright!!). I do love the purple tones though on your first card! Good for you for doing the challenge - getting out of our comfort zones is always difficult!
Hugs, Danielle

Oh Heather. How funny are you. I think you did a fantastic job on the "bright" one. I totally understand where you are coming from though. They are both gorgeous. xo Jackie
I think you've done an awesome job. Definitely 'bright and zingy'.
Hi Heather - funny you should mention sunspecs - i have too and i dont think mine is quite as bright as yours LOL!! I like them both but must admit the first one is really much more your style but your colouring is great in both of them!

Its amazing how the same design can look so unique with different colours. The second one is definitely a happy summer creation.

Great cards Heather. Have a nice day.
hugs Piaxx
Both are absolutely STUNNING !
Love Karen x
Both cards are gorgeous, Heather. And I love bright colours, so yes, I like the 2nd one a lot :-)
Morning Heather dear, both of these are just gorgeous I love how you have used the Nestie behind what a stunning effect you get and of course your bright and zingy card fits the bill perfectly, but being a mauve girl I adore the top one
Hugs Jacqui x
Well it is bright and zingy and I love it!!!! Both of your cards are great, but I'll say the brighter version would really make someone smile!
lol-I LOVE them both! I didn't attempt the bright challenge either but you did it just great!
2 great cards hun love the colurs you have used love the 2nd one brilliant as usuall hugs cheryl xxxx
I do prefer the first one but they did ask for bright and zingy and you gave them just what they asked for. I done this challenge too and I think my card turned out ok but I'm still not very keen on it. I wasn't as brave as you though lol.
Hugs Lora x

Both brilliant cards and it is nice to see how different they can be with just a few chantges. I must admit I prefer the softer one
well done to you sweetie, you certainly did what the challenge asked for your second card is defo a bright and zingy one.... love the colours of the first.. (i am not a bright and zingy person either...lol)
the nestie's that you have used are so pretty and very effective.. thank you for joining us at just magnolia.xx
I do love the second card. Especially the colours of that one! And the way you have placed her on top of the nestie is great! She really pops out! :)

I haven't attempted this yet,,, you did fulfill the requiremens but I must admit the 1st one does look better ,,,, tho actually sunglasses do help :-) I love the way you coloured the Tilda's ,,,, perfect ! :-)

Heather, dear heart, as much as I admire your work -- I have to agree with you -- the one that is much softer is more delightful! When I started reading this post and came upon the first image, I'm thinking...what is she talking about? -- and then I went a little further -- but both of them are built to your standards!
