We are almost to the end of June
and that means we are on the home stretch in the Color of the Day
Challenge. Today's color is Fuchsia.
Did you know that Fuchsia was a purplish red color? I did not. I always thought it was pink!
According to the World Wide Web, Fuchsia - pronounced (/ˈfjuːʃə/, FEW-shə) is a vivid purplish-red color, named after the color of the flower of the fuchsia plant, which was named so by a botanist, Charles Plumier after the 16th-century German botanist Leonhart Fuchs.
I have crafted many things in Fuchsia. I find it to be a very pretty color even though I always thought it was pink.
Meet my BFF. I created this scrapbook layout for her several years ago. Her favorite color is pink, but this paper had more Fuchsia tones than pink.
Here is a picture of another
layout I did on Friendship. The colors were Fuchsia.
I enjoy making handmade envelopes.
I found one that I made for Christmas several years ago. Purplish-red, I think this
fall into those parameters.
Several years ago, I inherited a
few things from an Aunt. I had no idea she crafted. Among the many crafting supplies,
I received - this beauty was in there. It is called a Collage Mat. There were
some in an Asian theme, one in Vintage Notes and Postcards, then there was this
one pictured. Is it not just beautiful? Look at those flowers! I used this in a
Junk Journal I made for a particularly good friend.
Loaded
Envelopes are one of my most favorite things to craft. I found one that has
purplish-red paper used. I embellished it with the flowers and ribbon in the
purplish-red colors. This Loaded Envelope was my favorite. I have made many in
a variety of themes. Some of those have been for Mother's Day, Teach of the
Year, Graduation, Father's Day, Businesses, Birthday's, Just Because, and
Christmas. They are a blast to make and even more fun to fill up with special
goodies for the recipient.
Purplish red is the Color of the
Day. It is called, Fuchsia. Do you have anything in this color? If so, tell me
what it is.
