Hello stamping friends, it's our mid month challenge, are you ready? It's my turn to choose our colors for the Color Hues Challenge #51 and I'm going with orange and green. I feel sure you'll have lots of ideas for this combo, but you will certainly want to check the DT inspiration!
I decided to feature my go-to images of florals so I pulled out the Thinking of You stamps from WPlus 9 and Distress Oxide inks. Using a sponge dauber enabled me to get a soft look as I stamped flower clusters and fussy cut them.
The arch dies (The Greetery) are new to me, and I love the interest they add to the layout. I assembled them on a kraft panel. The earthy color seemed to set off the bright colors.
I really appreciate your visit today and every single comment you leave. I look forward to seeing your creations fill our gallery at Color Hues! Have a wonderful and happy day!
Be yourself
Have delight in your craft
Make something beautiful!
Colors used: Distress Oxide Inks - Abandoned Coral, Saltwater Taffy, Orange Marmalade: WPlus9 ink - Limelight
I can see why these are your "go-to" florals; they're lovely! The arches certainly do add a special touch; I may need to add a set to my seemingly never-ending wish list!
