Waggingly Happy Color Hues #79

Hello friends, how are you faring in this winter cold? It's a sunny day here with a lovely Carolina blue sky, but brrrr! It is colder than usual! I can't complain as I know many of you are experiencing brutal cold temps and more snow than I can imagine! 

It's time to cuddle up in your craft room? or with a loved one? or a furry friend? And time for our challenge at Color Hues, to use Copper and Green. 

 I chose this Waggingly Happy stamp from Penny Back. 



I stamped on Mixed Media card stock, in black ink.  Using Copics in green (G12, G14) and rust (YR27, E21) I did my best to represent the hues of the challenge. I masked the  cute canine and sponged a circle in Bundled Sage distress ink.  The Parsley card stock and three enamel dots complete the card. As you'll see from the fabulous DT samples, there are many ways to interpret these colors. I can't wait to see what you will make! 

Thanks for your encouraging support here on my blog and at Color Hues. Hope your years is off to a great start. 

Be yourself

          Have delight in your craft 

               Make something beautiful!

Cup of Kindness for Color Hues

 The well-known song says, "we'll take a cup of kindness yet.... for Auld Lang Syne" As I am typing my first post of the year, I will wish you special gifts of health and happiness for 2024.  Welcome to our first duo at Color Hues!  Marcia has chosen Light Blue and Navy for us. 


I couldn't wait to use the new stamps and dies from Concord & 9th called Cup of Kindness that features the cutest shapes and sentiments for coffee cups. 



I love the floral mini patterns that can be printed on the cups. Neutrals are also OK to add to your projects including kraft, gray, cream, white or black.

My favorite sentiment is the Thank You checklist. Here's how it looks on the inside of my card. I grabbed a stenciled background from my already-done file that was a good fit with the colors and theme. 



Please be sure to check out the fabulous designs from the team. 


We hope you're ready to get crafting again! Please join us to play along. The challenge will last for two weeks. Thanks so very much for your visits and kind words. 

Be yourself

          Have delight in your craft 
               Make something beautiful!
