Hello dear friends!
We've turned a page of the calendar but so much is going on. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are caught up in the struggles for world peace and the Ukranian people. On this first day of March we have a new challenge going at Color Hues!
Our original challenge is to use Green and Gold on your card. My card was made a couple weeks ago, and I'm sharing that with you today. Additionally, in honor of those in Ukraine, we are offering a second challenge to use the colors of bright blue and yellow that reflect the Ukranian battle for freedom and give them a message of encouragement.
My card is clean and simple, and uses my favorite technique of late - foiling! I used the Autumn Leaf Border from Spellbinders and the Essential Glimmer Sentiments to create a masculine birthday card. I think the gold foil dresses up a classic style.
I'm finding that using Neenah Solar White 110 # card stock gives me great results with the foiling. It is sturdy so I was able to color the leaves with Zigs and a blender pen.
I will keep this short as I need to get busy getting this card ready to mail. I hope that you are doing well at keeping on.
Be sure to check out the team's creations and be inspired. And please join us in our special challenge for Ukraine! I will be adding my card later.
Be yourself
Have delight in your craft
Make something beautiful!
