Pink and Blue for Color Hues!

 Hello friends, I'm here to kick off my challenge at Colors Hues #95. Being the hostess means that I get to choose the colors we will be using. I chose pink and blue. We choose our colors ahead of time by a month or two and I saw a Christmas card that inspired me, so I went with it. 

I can't wait to see what will inspire you! Remember that the dark or light hues of the colors chosen are up to you!

Here's my card. 


I loved coloring the snow couple with Copics, and I even made their noses pink! I began by stamping the image with gray ink, coloring and then fussy cutting them. The All-in-One Hexagon Die provided the stitched frame and I sponged pale blue ink on the back panel, propping the sweethearts up with a bit of foam tape. 


I embossed white card stock and cut a strip of snowflakes, sponged lightly with blue to bring out the details, and placed this at the bottom of the card. 


Finally, sponging pink ink on Glitter paper, I die cut snowflakes to embellish. I LOVE snow-people so I'm sure I will be using this Chilly Day stamp set (Penny Black) often! 

Please do make sure to visit the challenge and admire the amazing team samples! We love having you play along with us. 

Be yourself

          Have delight in your craft 

               Make something beautiful!

This is a darling card and those snowman couple are just the cutest. They certainly look as if they are in love. I totally enjoyed your colors for this challenge. If the DT hit a home run, which they did, I can't wait to see the gallery.

When I saw your card on the DT page I thought what a great idea for the colours and I still feel that way. Love the embossed snowflakes and that cute snow couple. :)

Your snow couple is just adorable! I love the framing (that die is on its way to me) and the embossed and ink blending snowflakes are a wonderful background! It was such a fun color combination--look at all the ways it's been interpreted!
