Color Hues: Hope Your Day is HAPPY

 Welcome to Color Challenge #89, can you believe it? It's amazing how the months fly by and so do the color combos! Our delightful hostess Marcia has chosen sage and pink for us to use this time around. 

Pink flowers are the sweetest! I chose a pale pink and a medium pink for this floral card, along with gray greens. I tried lots of pinks to find the ones I wanted to use for stenciling. 



The above photo shows the truer hues of the blooms. The photo below shows the front details from a better angle including the gold embossed sentiment and gold Liquid Pearls accenting the stamen.



Creating this was easy and enjoyable. I'm liking to stencil more and more these days. Using the Bold Bouquet stamp and stencils from Altenew that are brand new stuff! Not yet been used. I will love trying this softly falling bouquet in other combos.
The supply list is extensive so I will add it below. Please do play along with these gorgeous hues. I will love seeing your cards in our gallery. 

I can't thank you enough for your visit today.  It means so much that you keep coming by! 

Be yourself

          Have delight in your craft 

               Make something beautiful!

Cindy this is so beautiful! We used the same Greetery background frame! I agree with you that stencils that match with the stamp sets take card making up a notch! So lovely my friend.,

Isn't it strange how the colours change with the different angles, getting good images of gold is always tricky. All these new stencils are certainly making life a lot easier when trying for that softer look, this is such a pretty card too. :)

I have a GC from Altenew that I need to use soon and I may have to check out the supplies you used on this gorgeous card. I love stenciling too and need to do it more. Love that background cover plate as well and I feel it is just the perfect amount of interest, not to take too much away from the flowers. Take care!

What an absolutely BEAUTIFUL image and stenciled so perfectly too Cindy! The gold accents really add too! I'm always amazed how different photography angles can change the colors of our cards, but in your case, both of them look FABULOUS!! Such a lovely, lovely card my friend! Hugs. :0)

Your card is stunning Cindy! Your pink color choices are so beautiful as is the rectangle die you used to cut out the panel! I have to agree with you about stencils, they've become an essential tool, although I'll always lean towards my markers lol!

Your sentiment perfectly describes this card: HAPPY! The florals are so bright and cheerful and your Greetery frame backed in pink is a wonderful backgroundl (Also one of my faves from The Greetery!) I agree, stenciling is becoming one of my go-to techniques in card making.

Beautifully done Cindy!!! Wonderful use of "hues" and the gold liquid pearls and gold embossed sentiment really adds some extra elegance.
