Marcia has chosen a very lovely color combo for the Color Hues Challlenge this time, Sage and Pink.
This is, once again, the second card I created for this challenge but it has a slightly different story than previously. I created a card I was pretty happy with, photographed it, but hadn't gotten around to posting it. Then a day or two later I created this card:
This card was intended for a Pinkfresh Studio Challenge, but when it was completed, I realized I had used (once again) a sage and pink colorway. Clearly this color combo speaks to me. I like the card even better than the first one, so saved it for this challenge. It represents a lot of firsts for me: 1) I had never dry embossed using a stencil, 2) I had never foiled using a Betterpress plate, and all of the elements on the card are ones that I have never used before.
The Betterpress Plate, coloring stencil, and die are Pinkfresh Studio's Amazing Things, and the stencil is Pinkfresh Studio's Diamond Plaid. I used a new die from My Favorite Things, Elegant Rectangles, to cut the background for the floral. The sentiment was also foiled with a Betterpress plate from Spellbinders, Always and Forever Sentiment Strips.
The closer view shows how beautifully the Betterpress plate foils. All the inks I used were from Pinkfresh Studio: Sage, Ballet Slippers, and Sparkling Rose.
As always, you'll find lots of inspiration from our Guest Designer, Amy, and the Design Team on the Color Hues Blog.
I'm sending this off to the Time Out Challenge where the quote speaks of flowers, to Triple B for Blooms, and to NBUS for all the new products and techniques I used.
