The new Color Hues Challenge offers a chance to craft for Spring. By mid-February, I'm always thinking about Spring even though I know it's probably a good two months away here in western New York.
Not surprisingly, I headed for a floral stamp, and chose a new one from Simon Says: "Best Friend Ever." It has four lovely floral arrangements so I'm sure you'll see another image from this set in the near future.
I kept this card very clean and simple. I embossed the florals in white on Tim Holtz watercolor paper, and used my Daniel Smith watercolors to mix a pretty peach hue. After watercoloring, I added the sentiment from Papertrey Ink's "Signature Greetings"--an old favorite.
I added some detail to the flowers and the leaves with my Polychromos pencils. Although it's hard to see in the photos, it does add some depth.
Then I die cut the piece with Hero Arts "Rounded Rectangles," adding it to a piece of Concord & 9th's Grapefruit cardstock (also cut with the next largest rounded rectangle), and added it to a white card base. Five Champagne Sequins from Pretty Pink Posh finished it off.
I hope you'll hop over to the Color Hues Challenge and join in the fun, checking out the cards made by my awesome Design Team members, and our Guest Designer, Chick:
And then, come join us in the fun!
