Long time, no "see" my crafty friends. To say life has remained crazy hectic is an understatement. We finally got moved (North Carolina from Florida) in mid May and I am just now getting my craft room back up and running. It's going to be a process because while everything has a place....it's just not the "ideal" place if you know what I mean. (I won't even begin to tell you how long it took to find the supplies to make my cards. Yes, cards. Because I am nothing if not an overachiever with lots of time to make up for. So today you get a two-fer.)
My North Carolina debut is for our Color Hues challenge. Nancy is our host and she's chosen the wonderful combination of Dusty Blue and Brown. This is my first creation since late January so be kind. I'm definitely a bit rusty.
Card 1
Card 2
The lighting on this one is turning my brown leaves a bit more
on the greenish side. (It's Frayed Burlap Distress Oxide) My
photography station also needs a bit of tweaking.
Card 1 started with blue and brown cardstocks. The florals and stems were die cut and then shaded with shades of blue and brown Distress Oxides. The brown panel was embossed, the sentiment die cut and stacked and a few gold pearls were thrown in for embellishments.
Card 2 began by inking up a layered stencil in the same Distress Oxides as above. The panel was die cut for a scalloped edge, the sentiment die cut and stacked and a few brown gems were applied to the floral centers.
Supplies:
CARD 1
Honeybee Stamps - Wildflowers Lovely Layers die set
Spellbinders - Vivid Script Sentiment dies
Spellbinders - All Wrapped Up embossing folder
CARD 2
Spellbinders - Heartfelt Thanks & Scallops die set
Spellbinders - Blossoming Flowers layering stencils
I am so happy to be back to creating. I've missed my teammates as well as all of my crafty Insta friends. Please bear with my while I get my supplies organized and find my crafty groove.
I invite you to visit the Color Hues blog for more inspiration and hope you enter your Dusty Blue and Brown creations in our gallery!
Peace out!
