Hues of color...

Good morning crafty peeps!

I hope that those who are celebrating this Labor Day

weekend are having fun (while maintaining your

social distancing, of course. 😉)

I'm popping in with a card I made for a brand spanking new

challenge - Color Hues #1!

These are the colors to use:

As some of the design team had, I also thought 'sunflowers'

immediately when the hues were revealed.

Here's what I came up with:

and the inside:

I gathered my much neglected Distress Inks in all the greens and yellows I had,

then took an agonizingly long time trying to figure out which colors to

use for these color layering stamps. Once I had that hurdle behind me,

I set about stamping the NBUS flowers and leaves.

I chose kraft for my card base and also cut out a herringbone die

for some added texture. The 'Happy' die cut and birthday sentiment

are from the same stamp & die set, (also NBUS).

The centers of the sunflowers got Winked, then I added a smattering

of rhinestones for some extra shiny bling.

Congrats to Nancy for starting up this fun new challenge! I'll definitely

be playing in future challenges!

That's all for now. It's a glorious day out,

and I want to be out in it. 😎

Thanks for visiting, and I hope you have a great day!
