We arrived home 0n Monday from a fabulous tour of Portugal and Spain. I'll have lots more to share in a week or so. The tour lived up to all our expectations--and more. This post was written before we left. I'm anxious to get back to the crafting table, but it will probably be another day or two. Today is the first of June and time for the new Color Hues Challenge.
Red and Aqua are such a happy combination, and Jules is our hostess at Color Hues this round.
I've chosen a Pinkfresh Studio Suite of products, Farm Fresh, for this challenge. It was another of the products we received as part of the Create and Connect even in February, and one of my favorites.
Despite several layers all with dimensional tape, it's quite a CAS card. I chose to color the flowers with Copic markers rather than the accompanying stencils. The card photographed darker than it really is, and even photo editing didn't quite fix it. There's definitely more shading in those florals than is shown here. I used an embossing folder from Taylored Expressions, Subway Tiles, to create a backdrop for the milk can full of flowers.
I added some shading in gray to the milk can and die cut two ovals from white and aqua papers for the sentiment which also is included in the Farm Fresh set. I briefly toyed with the idea to layer the focal images on either an aqua or a red card base, but decided the clean look of white was much better.
