It's the first of May (already!) and the Color Hues team has a new color duo up on the blog and it's perfect for spring/summer.
Isn't this a fun pick from Hannelie?
I had some new goodies from Simply Graphic that dictated the theme of my card. I die cut the sunbathing beauty from white cardstock and colored her in with Copics. The raft was die cut from designer paper. I used a background die to create the waves which I then paper pieced with a cyan shade closer to green than blue. I stamped the sentiment with a crisp black pigment ink and added some white polka dots to her hat. This card could work for several occasions but I do think I'll use it as a birthday card.
Supplies:
Simply Graphic - dies SGD442
Simply Graphic - designer paper Arcachon collection
MFT - Mini Messages and More stamp set
Ellen Hutson - Pattern Die Combo
I invite you to join us over at the Color Hues blog where you'll see lots of Hot Pink and Cyan inspiration from our DT. I do hope to see your card in our gallery!
As always, thanks so much for spending a bit of your day with me!
Jules
