Hello, it's Color Hues #97

 Hello, I'm so glad that you've made a visit to my blog today. It's time for a new duo at Color Hues, and Julie P has chosen mustard and olive for us. 

I was inspired to pull out the Fragrant Florals supplies from Altenew, this time featuring the embossing folder and stencils. I just love these shades, I used mostly distress inks to sponge lightly on the leaves and flowers. I did keep adding layers to try to be more mustard-y. Wish the photo did them justice! 



I love the hello sentiment, it's so easy to continue on the inside with a more specific greeting. 

Hello's and goodbye's are very much on my mind these days. On a personal note, my husband and I are in the process of moving to a small home near our daughter's family. I've had to significantly pare down my overflowing craft collections(s)! You know, it's NOT just stamps paper and ink anymore but includes, dies, foils, stencils and ALL the stuff. So, instead of a craft room, I will have a craft closet.



I  may or may not be posting much after the dust settles - but I will see you again for one more challenge at Color Hues. You know you don't need an invitation to play - just make a card using these colors plus a neutral. 

I look forward to hearing from you and seeing your creations! 

Be yourself

          Have delight in your craft

               Make something beautiful!

Simply jaw dropping, Cindy! These embossed flowers make me swoon, and the warm and wonderful colors are extra lovely with it. You know I've always enjoyed visiting here and hope we can keep in touch. My craft room is small, but I can't imagine not having it to retreat to. That said, it never hurts to pare down the supplies. How much can a person use, anyway? Sending hugs.

That embossing folder is stunning, and so is your card! The photo looks pretty great to me. I'm hoping your craft closet will still inspire you to create--we will miss you here, but I'll be following along whenever you find time to post.
