Color Hues #86 and Double D Florals for Mom

 Hey there!  I'm so glad you dropped by.  

Today's card is for two challenges:  Color Hues and Double D.


Cathy at DoodlebugsWA had a birthday a few weeks ago and celebrated with a store sale.  I took advantage of course and bought the Sweet Violets from Altenew.  I usually color die cuts with ink but I happened to have just the right four colors of lilac and three of lime.  At least I hope Color Hues thinks so.  They always say you can use hues of the challenge colors and I did.  What goes better with sweet violets than white eyelet so I made the backgroundw ith a Lawn Fawn coverplate.  The Hero Arts sentiment looks a little funky because I fussy cut it but I didn't have anything else that would work in the space.  It's stamped in Andromeda, an Altenew dark purple. 

Double D had a challenge with a mood board featuring violets so my card is joining their gallery too.

Bobby, your violets are gorgeous in all these shades of purple and lime! We got spoiled with all those sets with dies for the sentiments, didn't we? I like yours just as it is!

Bobby, If that background isn't pretty enough all by itself, then you stick those gorgeous Violets on top. Your shades of colors are just perfect and so is this card. Well done and thanks for joining us at Color Hues, we appreciate it.

The white eyelet background is perfect for those violets Bobby. I just caught a glimpse of some flowering in my garden this morning, so the perfect time to share with us at Color Hues too. Thanks for embracing my colours this time. :)
