Color Hues #130

Today's card is for the Color Hues challenge of Fuchsia and Navy.  I didn't want to do my usual florals so it took a while to come up with something.

The Spellbinders Gorgeous You Perfume Bottle was part of a class I took a while ago but I can't remember what class or when it was.  I evidently didn't make a card with the die set because I searched my blog and couldn't find anything. The bottle was cut in C9 Dragon fruit and embossed with Altenew's Crystal Wall. Gina K's In the Navy was used for the sentiment frame and background that was embossed with SB Cross My Heart.  It was necessary to use double sided tape to keep the bottle stuck to the background with all that embossing.  A sentiment from the set was heat embossed in gold to go with the ribbon.

The Paper Players #772

Ann has a beautiful array of colors for the challenge at The Paper Players and I was inspired by DT Claire's card.

 

This die set from Concord and 9th is called Spring Print.  I usually make a template to know where the 'puzzle' pieces go by embossing the panel with the die.  After doing that I thought the background needed something but once I embossed  with Altenew's Crystal Wall folder the template disappeared.  I think I did a pretty good job figuring out where they go based on a previous card front I saved just for that purpose.  I have had those Altenew Enamel Dots for ages and they were the perfect color to accent the blooms.  The foiled sentiment is from Spellbinders.

Can You Handle the Pressure? March 25 and NBUS #72

I had a card front with a chartreuse embossed panel along the side in my Bits box for quite a while and when I saw the challenge at Can You Handle the Pressure? asking for your favorite color, I knew I had to finish it.

The embossing folder is Crystal Wall from Altenew in PTI Green Parrot.  There are so many shades of what some call Lime Green and while I love them all, my favorite is a color from Benjamin Moore called Wales Green.  My bedside dressers at the lake are painted with it and so were the walls of my former bedroom.  Is that an obsession?  But I digress.  Back to the card.  The flower is a new one to me from Penny Black called Love Blooms.  There are three different flower stems in the set.  This one was painted with Twisted Citron and Abandoned Coral DIs.  The sentiment is from PB.  

The new flower is making its way to NBUS and it's also the first time I've used the sentiment. 

Thanks for dropping by.  I hope you week goes well.
