Color Hues: Yellow and Blue


Happy March! Are you ready for a brand new Color Hues challenge? Our colours this time are YELLOW and BLUE. Here's my card using these hues: 


The background for this is inspired by Shirley Bampton, who also designed the stamp set I'm using! How's that for going to the source for a little inspiration? :) I tapped a little blue ink on a craft mat, mixed it with a bit of water, and used a wide brush to create the stripes on bristol. For the lemons, I stamped the outlines, then second-generation stamped to get a lighter tone for the segments. The sentiment is stamped in the same blue ink and embossed. A trio of yellow enamel dots is the finishing touch. 


What will you do with yellow and blue? Be sure to check out the beautiful creations of my Color Hues teammates, and then I hope you'll join us! 

Supplies: Neenah white cardstock, Koh-In-Oor smooth bristol, STAMPlorations Layered Citrus stamps, Versamark, Memento dandelion & Catherine Pooler juniper mist ink, Wow clear gloss embossing powder, Pinkfresh enamel dots, foam tape

This card brought a smile to my face the minute I saw it this morning! On a cold, windy and snowy day a few yellow lemons were certainly a bright spot. Love the way you created the stripes, and the sentiment is definitely a winner!

Ah, this makes me think of late afternoon cocktails with a nice breeze. Love those wide stripes and those bright juicy lemons.
