Our fabulous leader, Nancy, has chosen the wonderful colors for this amazing 100th Challenge for Color Hues.
Since this is our 100th challenge, Woohooo... there will be a fabulous prize offered to one of our winners. You can read all the details over on the Color Hues blog.
Originally, I thought I'd create a holiday card for this challenge (and sadly, I'm still in need of a few). But I found a foiled panel on my desk of the beautiful Spellbinders Cosmos Backdrop, and thought it would be lovely stenciled in blue and purple. I'm happy with the result.
It's hard to see how pretty it is unless your can see the gold foiling as well. You can see the purple card base better in this photo, too.
I used two shades of grays for the leaves. Then I die cut the panel with one of Ellen Hutson's Essential Arches and layered the two pieces on a purple card base.
The sentiment from a new Pinkfresh Studio Betterpress plate, Here for You was foiled in gold and die cut with the accompanying die which I love. Foiled cards are so hard to photograph well. I hope the second photo gives you a sense of how pretty the card is in your hand.
I hope you'll join us for this monumental challenge. Hop over to the Color Hues blog and see the wide variety of wonderful cards from the Design Team!
