Our fabulous leader, Nancy, has chosen the wonderful colors for this amazing 100th Challenge for Color Hues.
Since this is our 100th challenge, Woohooo… there will be a fabulous prize offered to one of our winners. You can read all the details over on the Color Hues blog.
Originally, I thought I’d create a holiday card for this challenge (and sadly, I’m still in need of a few). But I found a foiled panel on my desk of the beautiful Spellbinders Cosmos Backdrop, and thought it would be lovely stenciled in blue and purple. I’m happy with the result.
It’s hard to see how pretty it is unless your can see the gold foiling as well. You can see the purple card base better in this photo, too.
I used two shades of grays for the leaves. Then I die cut the panel with one of Ellen Hutson’s Essential Arches and layered the two pieces on a purple card base.
The sentiment from a new Pinkfresh Studio Betterpress plate, Here for You was foiled in gold and die cut with the accompanying die which I love. Foiled cards are so hard to photograph well. I hope the second photo gives you a sense of how pretty the card is in your hand.
I hope you’ll join us for this monumental challenge. Hop over to the Color Hues blog and see the wide variety of wonderful cards from the Design Team!
This is a perfect image for these colors and so elegant with the foil, Karen! The purple card base is so smooth and pretty! Incredible!
Such a detailed & elegant card. Your colouring skills are top notch.
What a perfect color pairing for this Cosmos Background plate Karen, and I can definitely see the gold foiling that makes this card even more special! You aced this challenge my friend…STUNNING card!! Hugs. :0)
Gorgeous, Karen and you used one of my very favorite sets too. Love this in gold foil and shades of blue and purple. The grey leaves were a perfect addition. Well done!
I’ve seen a lot of cards using this background plate Karen and this is one of the best, it will definitely be one for my Christmas wish list now! So pretty. 🙂
Gorgeous way to use the challenge colours, Karen. LOVE those beautiful foiled flowers and the lovely architectural element with the arched frame. xx
The foiled Cosmos panel looks especially beautiful in the purple and blue colors, Karen. Love the simple design with the die cut arch as well. I have the Cosmos and sentiment plates, I may just have to CASE this wonderful design. I hope you have a joyous time during the holidays!
This is just so elegant!!! It’s beautiful and I love the added touch of the die cut arch. I need to get back to some foiling. Happy Holidays!!!
Absolutely stunning card, Karen! One of my all-time favorites!
Karen, your showcase of the Cosmos is absolutely stunning! In love!
