Purple and Orange for Color Hues #96

 Hi friends, whoa, how has it gotten to be October?  Yikes! Please don't tell me how many days there are until Christmas, lol! You may be getting ready for Halloween, and if so, this challenge is for you! Julie is asking for purple and orange for this month's Color Hues Challenge and I'm sure the gallery will be full of inspiration!

We are delighted to have Trina Pham and Stephanie Lanzalotto as our special guests. Please welcome them!


I took a bold leap with these colors using the Blossom of Life dies from Altenew. I wasn't sure I would like it, but I think the result surprised me. These pretty dies are huge! I used a couple shades of orange card stock, one of purple and a final black layer. The white dots are Nuvo drops.



We are all hoping that you will join the fun and play along at Color Hues! I can't wait to see what you will make.

Be yourself

          Have delight in your craft 

               Make something beautiful!

Not just for Halloween as you so beautifully illustrate! Gorgeous large and in charge flowers to fill the card front. I won't tell you how many days till Christmas. I've barely started my cards!

Terrific way to use these colors, Cindy! They look fantastic with this graphic floral design because it is unexpected, plus the black layer makes it all pop! Fabulous!
