I'm the hostess this round for Color Hues, and I've chosen two colors specifically so I could play with a wonderful Spellbinders die set that a friend loaned me. These colors definitely say SUMMER to me, and we're finally seeing the warm temperatures and sunshine.
This die set of lemons and pretty white flowers makes such a happy card. I chose a sentiment that can be used for a variety of occasions, so it could easily be sent as a birthday card or a encouragement card.
Papertrey Ink's Lemon Tart was the perfect color (and name!) for the lemons. For the leaves I chose Gina K's Asparagus and The Stamp Market's Leafy. One of the things I particularly like about these dies is all the detail that they add. I did do a bit of ink blending to add more dimension to the lemons and added tiny yellow pearls to the flowers.
I backed the pretty stitched scalloped frame with some black and white striped paper from My Favorite Things. The sentiment from Waffle Flower was stamped on a Stitched Circle from Simon Says.
Please hop over to the Color Hues blog to see what our Design Team and our fabulous Guest Designer, Michele Ferguson, have created with this color combo. It's sure to inspire you, and I hope you'll add your cards to our gallery in the next two weeks!
I'm throwing my card into the ring at the Double D Challenge: Lemon-Ade and the Yellow Challenge.
