The Color Hues team is celebrating their 100th design challenge! I have played along with this challenge pretty much from it's inception however I didn't become a Design Team member until January of 2023, starting with challenge #55. To say that I've thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this wonderful challenge and team is a definitely an understatement. Nancy, our fearless leader and founder of Color Hues, is our host for this special 100th edition and she has a giveaway planned. Please visit our blog for details on how you could be eligible to win.
In the meantime, as much as I love my dear friend, I do wish she'd stop tormenting me with her frequent choice of PURPLE. *wink*

As usual, I went with my tried and true "die cutting in white and coloring with Distress Oxides" approach. I chose to color the leaves and stems in blue and the daffodils in purple using a nonstick mat and blending brushes. I added a bit of purple blending along the bottom, fading mid panel to white and stamped the sentiment in the top right corner. The florals were adhered with liquid glue and the panel was popped up with fun foam onto a white card base. Whew! Another purple card is HISTORY!
Supplies:
Cottage Cutz - Spring Daffodils
MFT - Friends Like Us stamp set
Distress Oxides - Wilted Violet, Milled Lavender, Shaded Lilac, Uncharted Mariner, Prize Ribbon
I invite you to visit our blog and play along for a chance at a wonderful prize package, courtesy of Nancy. May you celebrate the holidays in the festive style of your choosing and I'll see you back in 2025 for more Color Hues inspiration.

It doesn't look like you struggled with these colors at all, Jules! What a beautiful way to use the blue and purple, and a wonderful job of blending!
ReplyDeleteOh Jules...for someone who doesn't care for purple, you sure use it well! This card is beautiful and your ink blending is wonderful! Such a simple card but oh so striking...LOVE it!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteSuch an unusual twist with the colours Jules but it works! Great blending of the die cut pieces too. :)
ReplyDeleteThis card is gorgeous, Jules! Your choice of florals might be unusual, but it surely is effective. Your ink blending is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteWell done exercising your artistic license to color a pretty daffodil with these colors, Jules! Why not? I'm sorry you don't like purple, but you did a beautiful job with both the background and the florals. Love that sentiment too! I hope you have a wonderful holiday!
ReplyDeleteYour die cutting in white and colouring with Distress Oxides technique has worked its magic once again with your ever-so-lovely purple and blue daffodils. I think purple is beginning to rub off on you a little bit...
