Color Hues #319

 

Hello again my crafty friends.  Today marks the start of a new Color Hues challenge.  Marcia has chosen the perfect duo of autumnal colors for us to work with this fortnight....Rust and Yellow.  I haven't played in my craft room for weeks and to say I have lost my mojo (aka, a bit rusty...LOL!) is putting it mildly.  What I'm sharing here is the third card I created for this challenge and I highly doubt that either of the first two will ever see the light of day.  Their construction was like pulling teeth but this one came together rather quickly.

I pulled together several Spellbinder die sets for my focal point.  The gourds were die cut from white and blended out with two shades of Distress Oxides yellows.  The pumpkin was cut from a scrap of The Stamp Market cardstock called Rust (seemed appropriate, right?) and I used their coordinating ink to give select pieces their depth. What truly makes the card in my opinion are the cute glasses.  I want to put glasses on all the things!  I die cut an oval from the top panel, arranged the die cuts, stamped the greeting and then adhered it to a white card base using fun foam.

I have two more cards to make before I leave to visit friends in a few days.  I sure hope my mojo decides to come out and play.

Supplies:

Spellbinders - Modern Ovals die set (one of my favs!)

Spellbinders - Smart Glasses die set

Spellbinders - Autumn Wonder die set

Spellbinders - Autumn Scarecrow die set

Simon Says Stamp / Neat and Tangled - Hello Pumpkin stamp set

I invite you to visit our blog for more wonderful examples from my fellow teammates.  You won't be disappointed.  And I do hope you're inspired to play along.  Remember that Rust, Yellow and approved neutrals (see blog for list) are the only colors to be used in your design.  

Thanks so much for visiting!
