My card for Color Hues Challenge #82 was chosen as the winner and I was invited to
guest for TCH84. And as luck would have it, I got to play with my favorite colors!
Here are the challenge colors for the first half of the month of April.
Here's my card using some older products that I needed to give some love to
and I also knew that I wanted to make a shaped card.
I first stenciled Pinkfresh Studio's Bougainvillea Print, using only Stencils 1 and 2
and inks from Concord & 9th.
A base was cut twice from a rounded arch die and the back piece was adhered to the
front to form a hinge. The stenciled piece was cut from a smaller arch, then run through
a floral 3D embossing folder and adhered to the base. A sentiment was added and the
card was finished off with some gems.
I hope you'll play along with THC 84's colors. The deadline is April 14, 2024 at
9am EST. Thanks to the Color Hues team for the kind invitation to join you!
Donna, the combination of the embossed background, the peach and green bougainvillea print and the arched shape makes for an absolutely gorgeous card. A wonderful way to breathe new life into some of your older products. Thrilled that you're our oh-so-inspiring guest designer!

Mixing the stenciling and the embossing folder kicks your design up a notch and then the Arch shape takes it over the top WOW! I am always in love with whatever you make my friend!
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful to have you as guest designer, Donna, and what a gorgeous card you've created! Amazing that this is your favorite color combination, it's become one of my favorites as well, although I still love my pinks and aquas! Such a beautiful design combining the stenciling and embossing, then making it an arch-shaped card. So lovely!
