Today's Color Hues challenge is brought to you by Stef. She has chosen Peach and Cobalt as her color duo and I decided to create a card using several hues of each.

I began by browsing my scrap drawers for three hues of each color. I cut them into strips and adhered them, darkest to lightest, to a scrap of white cardstock, abutting each piece tightly to the one prior. I die cut a large heart from both a white cardstock panel as well as a piece of craft foam, adhering them together for some dimension. (These were cut narrower than the A2 card base for something a bit different.) The colored strip piece was positioned over top of the card base so that it peeks through the die cut heart panel when it's placed over top. A couple of thin strips of blue cardstock were added to the vertical sides for a bit more interest.
Supplies:
Spellbinders - Essential Sentiments stamp set (older set)
Spellbinders - Sketched Floral embossing folder (older set)
Memory Box - Cherub Hearts die set
assorted cardstocks
