Happy New Year and Welcome 2021! I imagine most of us are more than happy to put 2020 behind us, and hoping for a much better year ahead despite knowing that we still have some dark days ahead. For me, crafting has been the one way I can put aside all the fears and anxieties of the times for a few hours. I hope it does the same for you. And the Color Hues Challenge is here to help. I love this round’s color choices:
I’m a fan of Laura Bassen’s graphic cards, and when she designed and released some graphic dies for Simon Says this winter, I picked up the “Geometric Builders: Squares.” Putting the squares together is a bit like doing a jigsaw puzzle. It’s not something I do quickly, but I enjoyed the challenge. And I have a lot of pieces left to play with to make one or more additional cards.
I used three shade of gray from Simon Says: Fog, Smoke, and Slate, and my favorite red from Papertrey Ink: Pure Poppy. I love the clean and simple design of the card, and think it will make a great masculine birthday greeting.
The sentiment from The Stamp Market, “Tons of Type,” was embossed in white on black cardstock, and bumped up with some dimensional tape.
You may well see a similar design in a future Color Hues Challenge as this set is perfect for a two color challenge. Now check what our Design Team and Guest Designer have for you at the Color Hues Challenge.
Pull out some reds and grays, and join in the fun! I’ll be back tomorrow to share my One Little Word for 2021.
My goodness, that looks complicated to make! Looking forward to your One Little Word :).
I absolutely LOVE this clean & graphic card! I just may have to add this die to my stash now. Happy New Year!
excellent choice for this color challenge! That poppy red looks great on gray. I ordered the circle dies that coordinate with this set after seeing them on the web.
Love the graphic quality of this card Karen, so crisp and clean and a great use of the colours. HNY! 🙂
This card would make Laura envious! You did her style proud and then some! Happy New Year Karen!
You’ve channeled Laura perfectly. Beautiful graphic card. Love this set of color hues, too.
Love how you’ve used this graphic set, your card is stunning! Lining up all those little pieces would make me crazy – yours are beautifully done! Spot on for the challenge!
Happy 2021 to you! This is a wonderful graphic and bold card. Such a great way to use the two hues! And I think it would be fun to see it in different pairs of colours!
This is so pretty and the design is great. All those pieces make my head spin but I bet you could make a stunning quilt with that talent.
