The calendar page has turned again. Because we were away for 11 days, the month sped by more quickly than ever. But today marks the beginning of a new Color Hues Challenge--chosen by Julie B. this time around and it's a very lovely combo.
This combo lends itself to so many options, and I had a lot of ideas for a card. As it sometimes happens, it ended up being an unusal card design for me: it's a one layer and no embellishment card. I didn't intend it to be a shaped card but after I had die cut the image with Reverse Confetti's Pierced Round Top die, I couldn't find.a card base that really pleased me, so I created an arched card.
The inspiration for the card came from Gina K--an older card she created to put behind a beautiful window frame. I have just one window frame, but it hid too much of the design. After ink blending a panel with one of Pinkfresh Studio's new inks, Hydrangea and Concord & 9th's Harbor inks, I stamped the silhouette from Gina K's Friendly Silhouettes. Although I've used the florals in this set, I never used this lovely stand of trees.
The sentiment is from The Greetery's Arched Sentiments. I'm a real fan of Betsy's choice of fonts when it comes to her sentiment designs, and this is no exception.
Please hop over to the Color Hues blog where you'll find beautiful cards created by Linda, our Guest Designer and the rest of the Design Team.
I'm sending this to Seize the Birthday challenge where the Topping is: Add a Sky.
