Color Hues - Aqua and Black

 June is my favorite month! Can you believe we are ready for our 20th challenge at Color Hues?  Aqua and black, what a lovely duo! My favorite SU color has always been Cool Caribbean and I have hoarded that card stock for too long! Pulled it out for today's card. 


The  Stitched Diamond and Triple Lined Diamond Dies from Waffle Flower are terrific paired for a classic textured look. I added florals from the Bouquet Builders 6 stamp set that I colored with Copic markers and die cut. I kept the coloring light on the flowers but the leaves are leaning more towards teal to add dimension. 

I kept the card simple for a graphic look. Honey Bee stamps and dies called Bitty Buzzwords supplied the sentiment.

Thanks to you for your visit today. Hope you will be playing along!

Be yourself.

     Find delight in your craft.

             Make something beautiful!

This has always been one of my favorite colors, too, and I bought extra before it went away. Not sure if it's still current. They come and go so quickly. Those layered dies are gorgeous and so are the flowers, but it's the way you've put it all together that really makes it special. Limited colors are so lovely on a card like this.
