One of my favorite color combos are the colors for Color Hues Challenge #101--
red and kraft. There's something about the brightness of the reds paired with
the neutral kraft that is so appealing to me.
So with Valentine's Day around the corner. that's the theme I decided to go with.
I pulled out an older Simon Says Stamp set--Printmaking Hearts. And lo and
I pulled out an older Simon Says Stamp set--Printmaking Hearts. And lo and
behold, a bunch of alcohol inked hearts fell out of the envelope of dies so my work
was mostly done.
It's hard to see in the photo but there are specks of gold and a big splotch in the
middle heart and I'm hoping that's acceptable for the challenge.
I ran a panel through an embossing folder then adhered it to a card base. The
hearts were adhered to the card and I finished with a white embossed sentiment.
I'm also linking this up to Simon Says Stamp's Flickr Challenge for January
with their "Anything Goes" theme.
Off to link this up, thanks so much for stopping by!

Gold is always a neutral at Color Hues, and your gold splotched, alcohol inked hearts are beautiful against the textured kraft background. This card is perfectly CAS as well! Thanks for sharing with us at Color Hues!

ReplyDeleteThose hearts are so pretty and that textured background is so cool! What a wonderful love card for anyone! Thanks for sharing your talents with us at Color Hues.
ReplyDeleteFantastic design with those beautiful hearts, Donna! I love when I find just the right leftovers in with a stamp or die set, and yours are gorgeous with the splatters of gold. I'm grateful that you used this set because it reminded me that I bought it last year and never used it (is that a sign of too many stamp sets lol?). Thanks so very much for playing along over at Color Hues!
ReplyDeleteI love those hearts with a bit of gold, this is a great design, Donna! Having the prepped pieces fall out of an envelope is always a nice surprise! The embossing folder is the perfect backdrop.
