Hello, all! I'm pleased to be Guest Designing at Color Hues for the next two weeks! Challenge #73 is "Coral and Blue" - two favorites of mine.
I chose a bright coral tone and navy blue for my colors. I started by stamping a script on white card stock in PTI "Enchanted Evening" ink. I separated the two lines of sentiment from Hampton Arts + Gina K and heat embossed the second line directly on the white card stock in dark blue. The first line was heat embossed in white on a strip of dark blue iridescent stock and layered over the script, then die cut into a deckled rectangle. I added a dark blue iridescent strip to the face of a white card base and tied it with some slightly lighter blue twine. I die cut three more layers of deckled rectangles to give dimension and attached all of them to the face of card base and added die cut flowers and leaves from Alexandra Renke, along with three coral-toned sequins. My cellphone is presenting this coral tone as a bit pinker than it actually is.
I'm hoping you'll follow me over to Color Hues and play along with the coral & blue challenge!
Such a great job with the colors, Fran! Love the text background and the clean and simple design. The twine ties the card together wonderfully. We are so happy to have you with us at Color Hues! Have a wonderful day!
