Color Hues #72 -- Lindsey's Legacy Hop

Today the Color Hues team is participating in the Lindsey's Legacy Hop as part of our regular challenges.  You may remember that our dear friend and DT member passed away last summer from a very aggressive form of ovarian cancer.  If you didn't arrive at this post via Color Hues I encourage you to stop by Emily Leiphart's blog (the first stop on the hop) for more about Lindsey and the charity set up by her husband Burke.  There are many ways to help spread awareness and contribute to her charity if you are able.

We chose to honor Lindsey by using her two favorite colors....Red and Purple.  Linds and I had a shared love of red and often bantered back and forth over my extreme lack of love for anything purple.  Unless you're a member of the Red Hat Society, this combination may hold some challenges.  It certainly did for me hence my use of plum...a lesser evil in my book.  Unfortunately my photo doesn't truly represent the difference in the two colors.  

Lindsey was truly a dear friend to me and I miss her presence every single day.  Creating a Friendship card seemed appropriate for me.  

I began by embossing a red panel to create the vine texture.  The alphas in the die cut heart were inlaid, alternating in red and plum.  I added some linen texture to heart using a cover plate before adhering it to the panel which was then adhered to a heavy weight card base.  I die cut some flowers for embellishment and added a white gem to their centers for the finishing touches.  

Supplies:

Hero Arts s- Infinity Hearts die set

Ellen Hutson - Tall and Skinny Alpha dies

Simon Says Stamp - Layered Vines embossing folder

Spellbinders - Die of the Month for June 2018 (flowers)

Papertrey Ink - Linen Cover Plate  

I will have a total of three blog posts today, each one honoring Lindsey.  (Color Hues, The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers and a non DT card.)  I'd love it if you could stick around and browse for a few minutes.  I also invite you to join us over at the Color Hues blog where you'll see many wonderful cards using Lindsey's favorite colors.  

If you create something in Lindsey's honor we'd love it if you could help spread the word for this cause by using any or all of the following hashtags.
