Hello, we're ready to go with Color Hues #82 on this first day of the month. Seriously! How can it be March?
We have summery colors of Turquoise and Green which Tracey has chosen for us to create with. There are lots of themes possible for this one!
I've been looking to add some cards for guys to my stash, or at least some cards that aren't all flowers. The Monstera dies from Altenew were on sale recently and I made a purchase. Pulling them out of my never-been-used-pile for today's card.
I began by using tone on tone inking in an ombre pattern with the Sketched Lines stencil - also new. I think it provided just the right interest for the crisp colors of card stock.
The layering dies add wonderful dimension too.
I loved using these hues, and wait until you see the DT samples. How about your turn? We hope you'll play along with us at Color Hues!
Thanks for visiting today. I will see you again soon!
Be yourself
Have delight in your craft
Make something beautiful!

ReplyDeleteThose monstera leaves look great against the tone on tone background and the large sentiment compliments the whole design. :)
ReplyDeleteThe bright and happy hues of turquoise and green on this card are wonderful! Male or female--anyone would be happy to receive this fun card!
