Hi friends! Glad to have you back to my blog today, and welcome! It's time for a new challenge at Color Hues! How does blue and tan sound to you? I made this card in advance, and since then I've thought of lots of other ideas. At the time I was stumped, and somehow this idea came to me while sitting at the kitchen table.
Can you see it? Trying to avoid fancy florals I used stamps and dies from the Greetery and combined them with a couple patterned papers in my stash. What will you make to inspire us?
I kept the design simple and used the textured die cuts to assemble my plants on. Using watercolor paper on the rough side to die cut the plant pots added more texture. This card is a mini slim line and I learned how to make a matching envelope for it at Roseanne's delightful tutorial HERE.
Having an envelope makes it much more likely that this card will get mailed. That's it for me today. Thanks for coming by!

Your combination of potted plants, the coasters and the woodgrain makes for a most lovely card! Awesome inspiration with this colour combination! Wonderful to have an accompanying envelope!

Your choice of blue for the plants works so well with the tan DP die cuts and plank panel. It's funny that some colour combos just speak to you and others not. :)
I am totally CASEing this card if you don't mind! I love the double coaster die and the blue florals! You have really been super creative here, Cindy! Impressive!
This is sooo pretty!
I love that rich blue with the neutrals…..just gorgeous!
Love the polka dot layer! This is charming, Cindy. Great use of the colors!
I LOVE this so much! Great use of the colors! Have a great week!
Your inspiration at the kitchen table certainly resulted in a lovely card! Your blue flowers are fabulous!
Delightful! I love those little fringed dies and I can see how your kitchen table might have influenced you. No matter about those other ideas... this one is perfect! BTW, I love making 3 1/2 x 6" mini-slimlines and there's a size on the envelope punch board that's perfect for it.
Cindy this is such a beautiful card I love those planters!
