Color Hues #1

The very first Color Hues Challenge has been posted! Every two weeks there will be a new challenge focusing on two colors. Any gradient or hue of those colors along with a neutral can be used in creating your project. The first colors are yellow and green:

Since I chose two simple flowers for the focal point of the card, I decided to start with a stenciled background, using Pinkfresh Studio Sunshine ink with a Hero Arts stencil, “Tweed.” 

I stamped the two doodle-style flowers and leaves from My Favorite Things, “Buildable Bouquet” over the top of the stencil, and watercolored them using Altenew’s 36 pan watercolors. 

I played around for awhile trying to decide whether to add some embellishmentsm, sequins, clear drops . . . but decided in the end they were too distracting and left the card very clean and simple. I die cut a very narrow frame with Gina K’s “Master Layouts 1” from The Stamp Market’s Leafy green cardstock which was a perfect match for the watercolored leaves.

The sentiment strip and die are from Taylored Expressions “Simple Strips.”  I hope you’ll hop over to the Color Hues blog to see what the rest of the Design Team has come up with . . . and join in the fun!
