Happy July 1st! And if you're in my part of the world, happy Canada Day! 🍁 The beginning of the month signals a new Color Hues challenge, and our colours this month, picked by friend and teammate Carol, are RED and BLUE. Perhaps a patriotic card? Nope, wrong country. Perfect colours for a nautical card! Wait, I've made several of those in the last couple of weeks. So here's mine:
Hearts! I'm using one of my favourite Concord & 9th turnabout stamps in two shades of red and two of blue. Of course, since I managed to get the alignment right, I also managed a SMUDGE on the fourth and final turn! Easily rectified with this square framed sentiment from a different set. Another time, I think I would really like the look of just the gold frame highlighting a sentiment right on the panel. Either way, I think the narrow gold frame adds an elegant touch. To coordinate, I added a gold heart to each of the corners. It just so happens that Simon Says Stamp is asking for Red, White and/or Blue for their Monday challenge, so I will send this card there. And since the Wednesday challenge is Anything Goes, I'm going there too.
Supplies: Neenah white & Sizzix Opulent gold cardstock, Concord & 9th Hugs & Kisses Turnabout stamps, Catherine Pooler stone blue & Memento ladybug, rhubarb stalk & Paris dusk inks, Concord & 9th Everyday Bouquet dies, Stampin' Up ticket corner punch, Little Things from Lucy's Cards Gold Dust hearts

What a wonderful card. I really love the background you made with all those sweet little hearts.
Those little hearts work wonderfully with red and blue; great choice. The gold frame is the perfect elegance accent!

Well covered up! If you hadn't said anything about the smudge I wouldn't have known a thing, looked planned! A fab take on the colours. :)
I love your red and blue hearts! Great card! Have a great week!
I love your direction for our colors this time! I have yet to make more than one turnabout card...I know GASP!! This card does have all the feels! HUGS!
I have just one turn-about stamp, but it wouldn't take much for someone to talk me into this one after seeing your card! It's great for this challenge, but I can envision so many uses for it. Love your gold frame and tiny sentiment--just perfect!
So much fun....love all those fabulous hearts!
