Hello friends! Welcome to a new challenge at Color Hues! I really enjoyed playing with some new supplies using Curio: Summer Findings Dies from The Greetery. After making the decision of what to use, creating with Turquoise and Mustard was a delight!
I began by die cutting the white stitched frame and several rectangles, from white card stock. Using black and white card stock, I die cut the insects and plant images, sponging Distress Oxide inks to color them.
Arranging the squares and elements came next. Thinking I needed a bit more mustard, I stamped tiny dots around. Needing even MORE mustard, I cut up a frame I had sitting on my desk and used those pieces kind of like parentheses to balance the design.
This felt out of my comfort zone! I'd sure love to know what you think! It will be nice to have in my stash for a get well. (Sentiment Suite: Thinking of You)
Can't wait to see how these colors will inspire YOU!

I absolutely love this. It is so bright and cheery. Does not look at all like you were out of your comfort zone. The butterflies and dragonfly are perfect and love all the texture. So beautiful.

ReplyDeleteIt takes real talent to compose a card like this that has the appearance of effortless tossing elements on the card! Not! That takes a real eye for design, Cindy! And your ink-blending is flawless! Thank you for inspiring everyone at NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
