Cindy has chosen a unique color combination for this round of the Color Hues Challenge.
Like last month, it took me awhile to come up with an idea.
But when I was looking through my stencils, I came across The Greetery’s “Always in Bloom” stencil set and knew it would work perfectly. I ended up stenciling just a portion of the whole design, but I’m quite happy with this very cheery card!
There is an accompanying stamp set with this that I didn’t purchase so I added the details some ink blending and then with colored pencils. I think it came out just fine, and I wouldn’t have used the layering stamps in the set.
Turns out that all the products are from The Greetery. I die cut the panel with the Postal Frame, which I’ve owned for quite some time and never used before. I love the stitching inside the postal border. The sentiment is from a favorite set, “Birthday Blooms.” The die cut for the sentiment is so perfect. I added a some foam behind the main panel and some narrow dimensional tape on the sentiment for a bit of interest. The final touch were a few red AMuse pearls which I’ve owned for years. I liked them so much I bought several packs of them, and it’s proved to be a good purchase.
Hop over to the Color Hues blog to see what the rest of the Design Team and our two Guest Designers, Kim and Marcia have come up with . . . and join in the fun!
Perfect stencil for the challenge; your flowers and sentiment make for a beautiful, cheery card!

I like this two colour combination. Putting the sentiment on foam helps it pop out/up.
Your pretty design reminds me of some types of china, not sure at the moment what they are called though! 😉 (I think I mean tin glazed earthenware) Fab take on the colours.
I am happy with it too! It is so stark and yet so beautiful at the same time. Awesome, awesome job, Karen. Your gems are placed perfectly!
I love what you did with just two colors! The Greetery’s products make wonderful cards and the red jewels finished it well. This is a favorite stencil of mine too.
Your card turned out beautiful! I love the stencil you used and these colors work so well for flowers! Love the sentiment too! Have a great week!
I will have to check out that stencil, I love your card, Karen! The details you added are just beautiful!
I’m pretty sure I commented on IG but I had to tell you again that your stenciling is absolutely lovely. Someone will be so lucky to get this card!
What a gorgeous card!
This is one of my favourite colour combos at Christmas (with a bit of green: I dislike red and green together on their own), and it looks so fresh and bright here. The little pearls are a perfect finishing touch and your inking and pencil marks are so neatly and cleanly done. Lovely!
A beautiful card to showcase these gorgeous colours!
