Color Hues #24

It’s a very vibrant color combo this time around at Color Hues:

Coral is a tricky color. I “Googled” it to see what shades might come up–some look pretty orange, and my husband thought my choice was definitely orange. I, however, chose a Gina K cardstock called “Coral Reef” so I was able to defend my choice without question! For the turquoise, I chose two papers: Papertrey Ink’s “Hawaiian Shores” and Concord & 9th’s “Oceanside.” I have to thank Kristie Goulet, one of my DT teammates for the inspiration for this card. After seeing several different designs she created with the “Mosaic Tiles” die from Catherine Pooler, I had to order it. 

There must be hundreds of possibilities with this die set, and I love that it’s easily customized for males or females.

I dry embossed the background with an Alexandra Renke embossing folder, and die cut three sets of the Mosaic Tiles–one with each color. Then I had to decide which triangles I would use. The one above is one of my favorites, but you’re sure to see this die show up here again and again with different designs. 

The sentiment is a Simon Says die that arrived with a kit. I die cut it twice, cutting the coral piece in half to create the half-and-half look. Amazingly, I found three enamel dots–one matching each three of the cardstocks I used to finish the card off.  

I hope you’ll take a look at the fantastic designs the DT and our Guest Designer, Linda Snodgrass, have created:
