It's April Fool's Day. It was one of my least favorite days as a teacher of 5th graders who delighted in trying to do you in and usually succeeded at some mischief. Today, however, April 1st means a new Color Hues Challenge, and it's a good one. Jules chose Orange (one of my faves) and Teal. It's a great combination, and not one I've used very often.
I pulled out an old favorite hot foil plate from Pinkfresh Studio, Geo Blocks and it's accompanying stencil. I don't think I've ever used all three stencils because I love the way it looks with some white space.
This time I decided to use a larger hot foiled sentiment from Waffle Flower, Hey, There. I liked it placed on the diagonal which is not something I often do.
This gives you a better look at the shiny gold foil. It took me awhile to figure out where I wanted to add some gold pearls, but I'm happy with the final decision.
As always, you'll find lots of inspiration on the Color Hues blog by our wonderful Guest Designer, Renate, as well as the fabulous Design Team! I hope you'll come join us!
My schedule has been crazy recently, and although I've been crafting, there hasn't been much that could be shared just yet. I don't usually let two weeks go by without blogging, but I hope to remedy that this week. The Women's NCAA March Madness schedule hasn't helped much. I'm a huge fan of women's college basketball and watch a lot more television during the tournament. The only consolation to the increased TV time, is that while I watched the games, I finished two big organizing and cleaning out projects in my craft room that have been on the to-do list for far too long.
