It’s mid-November (where does the time go?) and Marcia has a wonderful color combination on the Color Hues Blog for the next two weeks: Pink and Aqua.
These colors were perfect for the Hey, Honeycomb Balloons, by The Greetery. I started out with The Greetery Ticker Tape hot foil plate foiled with Silver Holographic Facets by Spellbinders.
For my hues of Pink and Aqua, I matched the cardstock to the colors of two of the Honeycomb Balls: Party. After die cutting the balloons, I white embossed sentiments from the Hey Honeycomb Sentiments on each balloon.
I die cut some streamers, the balloon strings, and the sentiment from Pinkfresh Studio from silver metallic cardstock. Before arranging everything, I die cut the main panel and a panel of silver cardstock with Gina K’s Master Layout #1, and attached them to a white cardbase. The white stars on the balloons are actually die cut from double-sided adhesive. Once the top layer is pulled off here’s the final card.
I knew these products would make a very festive card, and I’m quite sure I’ll be using up my supply of honeycomb balls for a variety of cards.
You’ll find lots of inspiration on the Color Hues blog, where you’ll find great cards created by our special guest, Teresa, and our very creative new Design Team member, Bonnie Klass!
Lovely, lovely, lovely! It looks as if a very great deal of work went into this. Someone is in for a very special birthday/anniversary/passing of exams day! Or just about any other celebration you care to think of.
WOW, Karen! This is like a party on a card! I’d never seen those honeycombs before and think I need to look into them! What a fun and festive way to use these colors! Thanks so much for the warm welcome. I look forward to getting to know all of you better.
