Color Hues #40

  • by

Hard to believe there have been 40 challenges now at the Color Hues Challenge! Carol has chosen the colors for the next round:

CH #40-Blue and Tan.001 (1)

It’s a lovely color combination, but I struggled this time to come up with an idea for a card. I finally settled on a design from an old favorite from Simon Says, “Be Kind,” and pulled out my Polychromos colored pencils. I used some Stonehenge paper made for colored pencils for the leaves, and then discovered a pad of colored Stonehenge that had the perfect shade of tan.

The blue card base is actually a lighter blue than it appears in the photo. Try as I might I couldn’t get the color quite right; so strange since all the rest of the colors are quite accurate. After coloring the image, I die cut it and the tan mat with Pinkfresh Studio’s “Mini Slimline Essentials.” The sentiment is from Sugar Peas “Everyday Sentiments” and is die cut with My Favorite Things “Itty Bitty Strips,” which is proving to be a very handy set of dies.

The Design Team and our Guest Designer, Shawna, have a wide variety of wonderful cards to showcase this color combination, so hop over to take a look. And please join in!

    I’m dazzled by your beautiful colouring of the leaves! The stage you’ve created for them really enhances how pretty they are! An all-around lovely card!

    Love the texture your colouring has given those leaves Karen, lovely card. I think that the American and British colour of tan are quite different, after visiting everyone’s cards.:)

    Great shades of colors on your pretty leaves, Karen. Every time I come by and see a slimline card done by you, I think I need to do more of these. Well done!
