Hello Crafty Friends! It's time for new challenge over at the Color Hues blog where our fearless leader, Nancy, is our hostess. She has chosen White and Aqua as our hues this fortnite.
I began my design with the orca die. I die cut and assembled it in the two challenge colors. I stenciled the bubbles onto a panel of white cardstock and die cut the scalloped circle in a scrap of white cardstock. In hindsight I should have been more careful as the two whites obviously don't match. Let's just say I planned it that way. *wink* I used the same aqua cardstock for the inner circle as I did the orca. I added some subtle texture with an embossing folder followed by a layer of white pigment ink to tone down the hue before adding the orca. Finally I adhered the panel to an aqua card base and added my customary sprinkling of clear droplets to finish it off.

Jules, I think your orca card is fabulous; a little bit whimsical, a little bit cute and a whole lot of sweet! Perfect images for white and aqua!

This card just couldn't be any sweeter Jules...LOVE it! And I like that your scalloped circle isn't the same shade of white as the card base...it really makes it POP being a different hue! Your Orca and those stenciled bubbles just make this ocean themed card perfect for the color pairing...you aced this one my friend!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteYou win the prize for creativity this time around! I love your orca and the stenciled bubbles that draw your eye from one corner to the next. (I wouldn't have noticed the whites if you hadn't said anything.) Such a great card and the perfect sentiment, too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea, this fab orca works so well in the challenge colours. I hadn't noticed the 2 whites 'til you mentioned it, your eye is drawn to the orca, fab sentiment too. :)
ReplyDeleteI think this card is as darling as can be and I love the direction you went with the colors. Great job, Jules!
ReplyDeleteJules your card is so much fun! The orca is amazing and how you pulled so many products together so perfectly. This is a real stand out card, I bet your grandson would love it.
ReplyDeleteSorry Jules I didn't notice my name wasn't automatically up.
DeleteJules, your card is so pretty with the orca and the bubbles, which is such a great design element! Like Karen, I wouldn't have even noticed the whites if you hadn't pointed it out. ;-) Love this!
ReplyDeleteI adore this card, Jules! The orca is playful and looks cute and fresh in aqua! I actually enjoy mixed shades of white or white with cream - I know, I'm strange! The colors scream summer and the sentiments great too. A fabulous card!
