Color Hues: Peach and Green


It's time for a new challenge at Color Hues! And we have a pretty, springlike duo of colours for you: peach and green. It's far from spring where I am, but I went with flowers anyway:


I am using a stencil from STAMPlorations - I have the similar stencil with smaller images, but couldn't resist adding the larger version to my collection. I positioned it so I'd have one of the large flowers front and not quite centre, then blended peach and green inks. Once I'd removed the stencil and die cut the panel, I also added a little green around the perimeter of the panel, just with the ink still on the brush. I was also able to colour in the sentiments with the same brush - either it is perfectly saturated, or in need of a good cleaning. :D As a final step, I added a few clear drops to the flower petals. 


Lots of peach and green inspiration from my Color Hues teammates, and our guest designer, Chick! I hope you will join us. 

Supplies: Neenah white cardstock, The Greetery Birthday Blooms stamp & die, Uniko Pure Florals: Gerbera & Hero Arts Color Layering Wreath stamps, Simon Says Stamp intense black, Catherine Pooler bellini, Memento cottage ivy & bundled sage distress ink, ARTplorations bold botanicals stencil, Winnie & Walter Katharine Cutaways rectangle die, Studio Katia clear drops mix 1

Pin It Now!

This card is simply gorgeous! That stencil is stunning in peach and green! (And crafting with flowers is definitely a good thing when we're buried under in snow.)

This is so very pretty. Love those two colors together and that fabulous stencil. I think I may have that one, although now that you say there are 2 sizes, I'm actually not sure which one I have. Must have a dig through my stencils. Anyhoo...thanks for the gorgeous inspiration.
