I needed to make an Anniversary card for a stamping friend and her husband for September and then I saw the Color Hue Colors and she loves RED! So I got to work.
I would not usually pick up these two colors to create with - I tend to favor greens and blues - but I think Anne will love it - and it is very bright and cheery!
I used an older die set called Lovely Layers (still available for $4.00 at PTI!) along with the card base cut using Noted: Scalloped Square die - both from Papertrey Ink. Each layer of the bloom is on a foam dot and I added a red acrylic heart in the center. The sentiment if from The Greetery.
I'm glad I made myself use colors I don't normally reach for!
My card measures 3 3/4" x 3 3/4".

ReplyDeleteAh, Julia, you've made a delightful card for your friend and did an exquisite job using this color combo! I don't normally go for brights like these but for the end of summer, it just seemed right and I'm so glad you found a way to use them. I love the scallops and the pretty die cut flower and, of course the polka dot background! Thanks so much for joining us at Color Hues!
