Color Hues #92 and Freshly Made Sketches #647

It's not often I can combine challenges but while I was awake in the middle of the night, this card came to me.  It uses the colors of Color Hues with the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches


I picked up the patterned paper from the local craft shop knowing it would come in handy as a background for flowers.  I masked it off and colored with Frayed Burlap Distress Ink, going darker on the bottom.  The flowers from TH were cut in colored cardstock.  All the pieces of each flower are one die so the darker bits are colored over with Altenew inks.  The sentiment is from The Ton, something I had on hand that I thought worked well.  

Thanks for dropping by.  I'm thankful for your visits.

What a clever idea to color some of the paper to fit the sketch, Bobby! It's perfect for showing off this gorgeous flower too!

This is so pretty Bobby and I absolutely LOVE how you used the dsp and color blocking it with the browns! And of course the pink die cut blooms really POP against the brown background! Thanks so much for sharing this lovely, lovely card with us at Color Hues! Hugs. :0)

This is fabulous, Bobby! Masking off the patterned paper is such a clever way to incorporate the sketch and that pink flower is gorgeous! Thanks so much for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches.

Glad I am not alone in thinking about cards when I am wide awake at night. The text background looks terrific across colors. Thanks for supporting our challenge at Color Hues.
