The Flower Challenge Reminder - Use dies!

 Hello friends, I hope your month has gone well as we transition from summer to fall. For us in the south, fall brings welcome cooler temps and wonderful Carolina blue sky weather! 

I'm back with a second card using dies for The Flower Challenge, and I went all out with cut-outs for this card! Speaking of Carolina blue...

have a look! Besides the dies, this card is all about the colors. I pulled out my card stocks and mixed a combo of colors that I love. Using the Zig Zag Chevron Die I combined two soft blues and intertwined them as a base for the floral arrangement.

 It was a delight assembling these flowers and stems into a bouquet. The die cuts were just the right size so they could be glued and assembled without being too fiddly.

Gold sequins were added and a gold foil sentiment to dress it up a little. I hope to see you playing along with your die cuts and cards showing up in our gallery! 

Thanks for your visit today, make it a great one!

I am happily adding this to the gallery at NBUS as the stamp and die are brand new! 

A Special Remembrance for Color Hues

Hello friends! 

Today we are joining forces with other stampers to honor our dear friend. You may remember that our precious design team member, Lindsey, passed away last year. The purpose of this hop will be to honor Lindsey, celebrate her life and all that she loved, as well as spread the word to raise funds for Clear Cell Ovarian Cancer Research.  

How can you Help? You can find all the fabulous details and the start of the hop at Emily's Blog HERE!

In honor of Lindsey, the Color Hues team has created a variety of cards using her favorite color combo of Purple and Red.  See our weekly challenge HERE. 

Pulling out a stencil, white card stock and ink I came up with a design. 

A floral design, you're not surprised, are you? Distress inks supplied the color as I ink blended on white card stock, then cut and die cut the elements using that panel. Some of the flowers have a pattern from the stencil, and some were just inked with one color. 

I will list supplies below. Thanks so much for your visit and for joining us in this tribute. We hope you will enjoy the hop! There will be loads of amazing crafters to inspire you!
