Cindy has chosen a great color combination for this round of Color Hues: Purple and Green.
I couldn’t resist the chance to break out Pinkfresh Studio’s Nothing But the Best stamp, stencil, and die set. It was part of the package that I received for the February Create and Connect event. We used watercolors in class, but I chose the stencils this time.
Over time I’ve acquired a few sets of Simon Says Pawsitively Saturated Inks which are fabulous for ink blending and come in set of three. I used the two lighter shades for the large flowers and then the darkest shade for the centers of the small flowers. The centers were colored with a gray Copic marker, and I added some dimension with a black Glaze pen.
After die cutting them, I arranged the florals on the large Rounded Braided Rectangle that was also included in our kit, but was made available during the March release. The gold foiled sentiment and Gold Glitter Drops are also from Pinkfresh Studio.
I hope you’ll check out all the amazing cards created by our Guest Designer, Amanda, and the Design Team on the Color Hues blog, and then add your own creative take to the gallery.
These are such pretty flowers Karen, you’ve made a great job of stenciling them and I love the die cut rectangle you’ve used too. 🙂
Gorgeous florals, Karen! This is the second time I have seen that Rounded Braided Rectangle today and I just love it. Awesome job!
Karen that combination of stamps, dies and stencils made the prettiest blooms. The black and white dotted centres are look amazing! Any one would be so lucky to receive this beauty!
Oh, Karen, this is fabulous! What pretty florals and I love the shades you chose.The foiling and glitter gems really make this special. And the braided rectangle is amazing!

Beautiful card – really like the shades of purple.
Your card caught my attention with the new braided rectangle! It’s a beauty and your dotting around the center adds so much.
Gorgeous!!! Great bold use of our colors and I’m really drawn to that elegant border.
The stenciling really gives the flowers such a soft color gradient, I love how they turned out Karen! And all the other touches make this one elegant and pretty card!
You had me at purple. Stunning card. I love that border die as well.
