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.

Altenew Inspiration Challenge - April 2022

I hadn't used my Altenew Sweet Violets in a while and thought they looked similar to the pansies in the photo at the Altenew Inspiration Challenge.

They are stamped with the Enchanted Garden set of ink cubes, with the leaves stamped in the Green Valley set.  The background is the Watercolor Stripes cover die over some light yellow cardstock with the sentiment from MFT stamped on one of the stripes.

I'm glad you dropped by.  Have a wonderful week.

The Flower Challenge #41 - Reminder

February is half gone already and the Design Team has more cards to inspire you to join us at The Flower Challenge before the 24th deadline.

Violets have quite prominent leaves so I decided to use the Sweet Violet set from Altenew for my card.

I used Altenew ink on this layered stamp set and placed the flowers and leaves on a PTI cut panel over a purple card base, adding the heat embossed sentiment in the middle.  Remember when you make your card that even though you've added leaves, the flower must be the focal point.

I hope to see you in the gallery.
