Times flies, and here we are with the tenth Color Hues challenge:
One of my intentions for this year, is to make sure I'm using all the stamps and dies I have accumulated since the pandemic started! One of the dies is the "Altenew Circled Greetings." I have all four of them, but today I used "Thanks." I'll start with the card I posted on the Color Hues Challenge post.
You can see that the die creates a wonderful focal point for an A2 card. I backed the open circle with a piece of cream cardstock on which I'd stamped with another new purchase, My Favorite Things "Peacock Pattern Background" in Dark Indigo ink.
I used a stamp from W+9's "Hand Lettered Thanks" for the small sentiment strip, and bordered it with a bit of the dark navy cardstock. The front panel was then added to a cream colored card base which is perfect for writing a thank you note.
The second card is very similar, but I chose to dry emboss a series of narrow score lines on the cream card base before adding the navy panel which I trimmed down to expose a narrow cream border.
This time I chose a brighter hue of navy cardstock that has a subtle texture to it.
I added a few sequins and pearls from Lucy's Cards: "Pearl Necklace" collection.
Hop over to the Color Hues blog to see what the rest of the Design Team and our Guest Designer, Julie, have come up with . . . and join in the fun!
