Color Hues #112

Peach and Cobalt.  Those are the colors Stef chose for the Color Hues Challenge.  Here's what I came up with.


It all started with the Terrazzo press plate from Altenew in their Eastern Sky ink.  I looked through the flower dies I brought with me and settled on Altenew's Virginia Rose.  It's cut in a light peach and the layers are colored with Pastel Sky and Canyon Clay, with inked Kraft cardstock for the center and stem.  It needed something more so the PTI frame, layered three times, was added as was a SB sentiment.  

Thanks for visiting.  I love it when you leave a comment while you're here.

Just Us Girls #780 - Mood Board Week

Vicki is hosting our Mood Board Week at Just Us Girls and she picked this lovely scene to inspire you.

Here's a close-up view.

Of course I was inspired by the poppies, my second favorite flower, and I knew right away what stamp I would use. 


The stamp is another oldie, Poppy Gems from Penny Black, and is colored with Zigs.  I added a black border to finish it off and decided to not spoil the picture by adding a sentiment. 

You can be inspired by the flowers, the beach, the water, the colors.  Whatever your little creative heart desires.  Check out what the Design Team and our guest Joanne did if you need some ideas.

The Paper Players #742 and Color Throwdown #835

As I was working on a card for The Paper Players (Fresh and Fruity) I noticed that the same card would work for Color Throwdown with a little background change.

The lemons are from Lawn Fawn, cut from cardstock and shaded with Altenew Inks.  The panels are Pinkfresh Studio's Dotted Fancy Frames, one cut in turquoise for the color challenge,  and the sentiment is from Altenew's Weekend Doodles.
