Hi friends! There's a new papercrafting challenge in town, and it's called Color Hues! Today is our our very first challenge. Color Hues was created by Nancy Leppek, who I'm sure many of you already know. The concept: twice a month we shall challenge you to use as many hues as you wish of the two colors we name (plus neutrals) in your project. The design team will always have projects to inspire you, and you may enter each challenge up to three times.
Here are the colors for our first challenge!
Yellow and green immediately made me think of sunflowers. Here's my card using these colors:
I stamped this gorgeous sunflower from The Ton stamps using Catherine Pooler inks. Although it looks like I used an orange color on the sunflower, it's actually Tiara over Limoncello & I added the third layer of this stamp using Sauna ink. Sauna is in Catherine's Spa ink line up but still yellow. I stamped the leaves using different hues of green from Catherine's party collection of inks.
I added the Savannah Cover Plate Die in white for some tone on tone dimension to my background. The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.
I hope you will play along and hop on over to the Color Hues Challenge blog to see how my fellow Design Team members were inspired!
Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

ReplyDeleteHi Kristie,

Sunflowers were a perfect choice for this colour challenge and a single bloom makes such an impact.
