Hello my Crafty Friends! It's my turn once again to host our Color Hues challenge and I've chosen the duo of Olive and Mustard for my hues. I thought this combination would work well for autumnal themed cards but I'm strangely craving a sandwich now. Anyone else hungry?
I opted for a floral motif so I grabbed some dies and cardstock scraps in the appropriate colors and got to work. I set my focal design off to the left of center, arranging the pieces onto a floral embossed panel of white cardstock. The sentiment was stamped onto a ticket shaped tag and positioned over some wrapped twine which I thought added to the autumnal feel. The panel was adhered to a mustard colored card base and some clear gems were added for interest. I had some leftover die cuts so I also created a couple of generic tags.
Supplies:
Spellbinders - Envelope of Wonder dies set
Spellbinders - Autumn Wonder die set
Spellbinders - Small Die of the Month Dec 2018
Altenew - Many Thanks stamp set
Spellbinders - Scattered Fall embossing folder
American Crafts - twine
I hope you'll join us in the gallery. My teammates have some beautiful cards showcased on the blog for inspiration. Remember to use only the designated hues (as well as neutrals) in your design. Let's get the gallery hopping!
Thanks so much for visiting!

Gorgeous card, Jules! Every detail makes an impact. Love the tags, too. I have a little envelope of left-over flowers and a set of tags already die cut, but they've been sitting on my table for months! I should take the cue from you and do it when I die cut them. So glad you made it through the awful hurricanes. Such a stressful time.

ReplyDeleteLove the new color duo!! I'll get to play along when I get back home from visiting my new grandbaby. I noticed in your write up that you are from FL...me too!! Which part?? I am always looking for other crafters that possibly live close to me.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great colour palette you chose! Love your beautiful flowers on your card and those cute tags! The embossed background of your card is amazing!
ReplyDeleteI totally enjoyed this color combo, Jules. Love your card and the addition of the twine was a nice touch. Of course your tags are darling as well. It should be a fun gallery!
ReplyDeleteYour blooms really pop against the white embossed background Jules, the twine was a nice autumnal touch too. A great colour choice judging by the DT makes. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the offset design you created, Jules, including the twine and the ticket shape for the sentiment. The embossing is pretty as well. I'm so glad you got through Helene and Milton okay - such a scary time.
ReplyDeleteJules, I love your inspiration - for that sandwich, too!
