Color Hues #39

Tracey has chose great spring colors for this round of the Color Hues Challenge. 

The day my Spellbinders “Bouquet of Flowers” arrived, I knew exactly what I wanted to do for this challenge.

I started with pre-made Memory Box card in a lovely shade of purple, and pulled out Memory Box’s pad “Vibrant Violet Collection.” I chose three hues of purple from the pad as well as scraps of New Leaf and Green Parakeet from Papertrey Ink and set about die cutting groups of florals and leaves. The colors in this closer look appear darker than they do in real life.

I used a heavy piece of vellum for the floral wrap and some metallic gold for the bow. I already had the die cut oval in my stash and arranged the florals in the wrap, added the bow and adhered it to the oval. When I laid the oval on the purple card base, it definitely needed something else, so I pulled out one of Simon Says “A2 Thin Frames” and die cut it with the same gold paper as the bow.

Before gluing all the components on the card base, I gold embossed the greeting from The Greeetery’s “Sentiment Suite: Birthdays.” 

I’m sure you’ll find lots of inspiration from the Design Team on the Color Hues blog, so hop on over and please join the card making party!

I’m entering this in the Happy Little Stampers: Dies where the challenge is Anything Goes.
