Hannelie has chosen the next color combination for our Color Hues Challenge: Mustard and Turquoise.
Hannelie is one of the most creative and talented card makers I know, so I’ll be curious to see what she’s come up with this time around, particularly since I found this combination quite challenging. I turned to die cuts as I often do.
I started by ink blending a rectangle with a Taylored Expression stencil on cream cardstock with Concord and 9th’s Stardust ink, the only mustard ink and cardstock in my stash.
After stamping the sentiment from Papertrey Ink’s Autumn Abundance set, I die cut the main panel with Gina K’s Master Layout #1 and then the slightly larger panel from Stardust for a thin border.
I die cut several flowers and stems with Pinkfresh Studios’s Dainty Blossoms from both Concord and 9th’s Oceanside and Papertrey Ink’s Hawaiian Shores. I ended up using only the turquoise dies, and added a few enamel dots for embellishment.
Hop over to the Color Hues blog and see what Hannelie, the Design Team, and our guest have created. It’s sure to be inspirational. And then, come play along!
It certainly doesn’t look as if you struggled. I think the card is lovely. (Beautifully photographed, too.) I had a look through the other entries and (IMO) it is up there among the best! What a lot of talented designers!
(I hope this post means your WordPress woes are now behind you!)
Lovely card. Unique colour combo, I would not have thought of turquoise & mustard, but it works.
You and me both Karen but you certainly pulled it off with your die cuts against the mustard background.:)
I think many of us struggled with the colors, I know I did! Your results are wonderful, I love the way the cream softens the mustard. You are a master at using die cuts, your card is gorgeous, Karen.
Karen, Your background looks amazing and as I read your post I realized the ink must have some sparkle to it with its name. Awesome job with the colors as your CAS designs always shine regardless if the ink does.
A beautiful clean crisp look with your pretty floral die cuts and framings!
Karen I always see your cards in IG first, but these die cuts are fabulous! Beautiful design!
I love your beautiful die cuts! Great card design! Have a great day!
