Color Hues #74 and NBUS #55

While at the lake I was playing around with my Honey Bee's Autumn Bouquet.  I haven't finished that card yet but thought the set would be perfect for the challenge at Color Hues - yellow and kraft.

The rattan basket is also from Honey Bee and it was cut from Desert Storm and inked with Gathered Twigs.  The other die cuts were colored with Altenew inks in shades of yellow and kraft.  The background DSP is new from Honey Bee and the sentiment is from Jillian Vance.  

All this newness means I will send my card to NBUS where Darnell encourages us to add our cards made with Never Before Used Stuff.

Color Hues #7

I finally got a technique to work for my card at Color Hues.

It doesn't show up well in the photo but there is snow on the branches.  I inked the background with Seedless Preserves and Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink then stamped the image from PB in Unicorn White.  After moving the stamp the slightest bit down and to the left I stamped it in HA Navy ink.  I think some of the white has faded back but it still gives the impression of snow, especially after I splattered it with white gouache.  To create a little more interest and texture, I added the Altenew frame along with one of their sentiments.   

My gift card holders have been put on the back burner for grocery shopping and present wrapping.  I hope to get back to them today.  How are you progressing with all your holiday cards and gifts?
