Color Hues #107 -- Orange & Teal

 
Jules has chosen "football colors" for Color Hues Challenge #107. They remind
me of a tropical summer.

 

 I decided to go "leafy" with a favorite set of leaves from Altenew.
 

 After die cutting several different leaf styles from white card stock, I inked 
them in orange and the closest color I had to teal. I ran a card front through an
embossing folder, then mounted four leaves over it.  

I usually like odd numbers but chose four leaves because I wanted equal 
opportunity for both colors. I added a reverse sentiment strip and finished off 
with some sequins.

Since I mentioned "summer" I may try a second card for the challenge. 
But don't hold me to it. Thanks for stopping by!

  2. This is a wonderful design and would work so well with many of the Color.Hues pairings! I’ve never seen that embossing folder in action, but it’s terrific, too! Thanks for sharing with us at Color Hues.

  5. I would have to 100 percent agree with Bonnie, Donna. This is just so pretty and so inspiring. I can see why these leaves are your favorite. I love the way you offset the base with the intricate piece on top. Four was the perfect number. Thanks for playing at Color Hues and for using the colors so well.
