Our newest Color Hues challenge is up, and it's another great combination: Olive and Berry.
At first I wasn't sure a lighter berry color would work, but truly, Color Hues is named that way so that different hues of the basic color can be used. In the end I chose three Altenew inks that were designed to go together with the darkest one named Cosmic Berry. Finding olive inks was easy as Concord and 9th has a great combo.
Keeping with my determination to use new stamps, I broke out one of my newest purchases, Pinkfresh Studio's Pretty Blossoms. It's a full card rubber stamp with coloring stencils and a very interesting die that cuts out all the spaces between the flowers. It's easier to see with a closer view.
I love the layering stencils and the variation in color you can create in a relatively brief time.
The sentiment is also from the Pinkfresh, from the Floral Vase set. "Beet" cardstock by Paper Source was a great match for the darkest color in the floral so I embossed the sentiment in white and die cut it with the Itty Bitty Banner die from My Favorite Things. Luckily I had some beautiful berry pearls in my stash which finished the card.
There's a wonderful variety of cards (as usual) from the Color Hues Design Team and our special Guest Designer, Bonnie. After checking out the inspiration there, I hope you'll come and join us!
