It’s time for the fifth Color Hues Challenge, and the colors this week are:
This was a fun card to create. I knew what I wanted to do from the outset, and it turned out pretty much as I hoped.
I started by dry embossing pieces of Harvest Gold and Classic Kraft cardstock with the Taylored Expression’s embossing folder, “Dotted Lattice.” Then I die cut the “Arboscello Tree” by Memory Box from Bristol paper and ink blended it with the coordinating inks from Papertrey Ink.
After piecing the two embossed panels together and adhering the tree in the center, I added the sentiment from The Greetery’s “Sentiment Suite: Thanks.” I added dimensional tape to both the banner (“Sentiment Suite) and the embossed panel. The cream card base is 5X7. I don’t often make that size card, but the die cut tree determined the final size of the card.
I hope you’ll hop over to the Color Hues Challenge and join in the fun, checking out the cards made by our wonderful Guest Designer, JoAnn, and my awesome Design Team members.
How clever is that! And so effective… perfect for autumn.
Very nice opposite colorings in your design! Nice colors for November themes.
This is a stunning card. Such detail.
This is a perfect example of the words I just wrote to you … simply stunning: right back atcha, friend!
What a gorgeous die that is! You’ve so beautifully pieced your embossed panel together, I hardly knew it was two panels!

How wonderful that what you envisioned came to be: your use of yellow/kraft is so creative. Love the texture of your embossing panels and the ‘opposite’ matchings of the tree. Gorgeous!

I think your card is so cool! What a great way to highlight two colors!
Do you ever have trouble sticking to just two? This idea is genius and turned out so pretty!
Its great when your own vision is replicated by the end result, just so satisfying. Love the split idea you used here, any colour or die cut could be used for a totally different effect. 🙂
I absolutely love it! Looks like your vision was executed perfectly! I love this so much!
Gorgeous card, Karen – just love the duo of panels and how you inked the tree! Thanks for the inspiration at Color Hues!!
Very clever both in concept and execution … When I read ‘Kraft and yellow’ I thought “Hmmm!” but you absolutely proved me wrong.
Bet you can’t guess why I love this card! 🙂
