Color Hues A Tribute

 On this first day of August, we at the Color Hues have a new challenge up for you. It is also a special tribute to Lindsey, our dear team mate who passed away recently. We want to honor her in two ways. First, by using the colors she had chosen for us of blue and purple. Second, by creating a card that celebrates her life or something that she loved. We hope that you will join us! 

My card shows butterflies in flight, and an uplifting sentiment.  


Using Ombre Papers from Altenew, I die cut a variety of butterflies in blue and purple hues. For extra shine and texture, I brushed Perfect Pearls in purple to the lavender butterflies, and spritzed them with shimmer spray. 


The sentiment was heat embossed in Pewter, and I added a tiny heart cut of mirror paper. Keeping it simple, the only other embellishment is the three pearls.


Please join us, won't you? I can't wait to see what you will make! Thanks for spending time with your visit here today. 

 Be yourself

          Have delight in your craft 

               Make something beautiful!

I read about Lindsey. It's so sad and so unfair. Your card is a lovely tribute with all the pretty butterflies fluttering up to Heaven.
