Welcome to February and a new color challenge at the Color Hues challenge blog! I am the host this fortnight which means I got to choose today's color palette. Since we've already had a couple of challenges with Valentine colors I decided to go with something spring related.
Coral and Sage

The background color is reading pinkish here
but I assure you it's a pretty coral color in person.
I dug into my supply of patterned paper pads and chose two for use in my card today. I die cut the envelope with the sage paper and used a coral colored design for my background. I stamped the mini card in black and used a coral cardstock as a mat. The hand was blended out with Distress Oxide ink with a little dot of a coral Copic for her thumbnail. After assembling my front panel I popped it up with some fun foam and added three colors of pearls to finish it off.
Supplies:
MFT - Crafty Hands die set
MFT - Paper Goods die set
MFT - Mini Messages stamp set
Honeybee Stamps - 6x6 patterned paper pad
Trinity Stamps - pearls
I invite you to join us over at the Color Hues blog where you'll see lots of coral and sage inspiration from our DT as well as our special guests. I do hope to see your card in our gallery!
As always, thanks so much for spending a bit of your day with me!
