Tracey has chosen a beautiful color combination for the new Color Hues Challenge:
Right away I knew I wanted to use my new Alex Syberia stencil, Modern Weave. It's a 6X6 stencil so I had two panels I could use for cards.
I started out by using the larger panel and adding it to a card base made with Concord and 9th's Oceanside, a beautiful dark turquoise which matches the small diamond pattern in the stencil. You can see in this photo, the three Pinkfresh Studio inks I used to stencil the design.
Here's a closer look. The sentiment also new to me, My Favorite Things Stylized Happy Birthday, was die cut from gold metallic paper and layered on a vellum shadow die.
After die cutting the first panel, I was left with a narrow strip of patterned paper and wanted to make good use of this gorgeous stenciled design.
I backed the stenciled piece with some of the Oceanside cardstock and added it to a white notecard.
The sentiment, foiled in gold, is from Pinkfresh Studio's Perfect Sentiments. Needless to say, this card pleases me with its CAS design. I embellished both cards with some gold pearls.
I hope you'll check out all the great designs from the Color Hues Design Team and our Guest Designer, Tenia. Please join us for this bright and happy color challenge!
There are two CAS challenges where my second card fits the challenge: AAA Cards: Anything CAS Goes and Addicted to CAS: Geometric.
