Color Throwdown Challenge #816

 

I consider myself "color challenged" but joined this week's Color Throwdown

Challenge #816 to honor a former Color Throwdown DT member, Barbara Anders 

who recently passed away.

I was on the My Favorite Things design team from 2015 till 2019 and Barbara

was a long time designer--possibly even from the very beginning. I always admired

her ability to create cards so effortlessly, from CAS to elegant and layered. 

Bar could do it all. 

 

Here's my card that I plan to send to her family.

 

Altenew's Hill Blossom stencil is one of my favorite stencils and I've made many

cards with it. It's a first for me to ink up brown leaves and I rather liked how it 

looks together with the orange blooms.

I cut out two panels from Reverse Wonky Rectangles and ran the Doily embossing

folder through one. The back panel was joined to the front to form a hinge and I

liked how the doily left a space for my sentiment.

 

 

Two branches were stenciled and cut with the matching dies. One branch was

adhered directly to the card and the second was trimmed a bit and popped up

over the first. An MFT sentiment finished off the card.
