It's mid-month already, and time for a new Color Hues challenge! Nancy has picked our new hues, and they are yellow and pale teal. (I have enough trouble figuring out teal, and Nancy gives it a qualifier, yikes!) With thoughts of making cards to show support for Ukraine, here's how I interpreted the colours:
It could be said my teal is not overly pale, but if it's not dark teal, it must be light, right? :D My sunflower is an older wood-mount stamp, and after embossing, I coloured it with Copics and added a bit of sparkle to the centres. To keep the main panel from being too plain, I added some background interest with a stencil and yellow ink. (Easier to see in person than in photos.) The sentiment is stamped on some coordinating yellow cardstock. The bottom strip? From a Concord & 9th envelope I saved after they had to replace a die for me!
What will you do with these two hues? I hope you will join us!
Supplies: Neenah white & scrap yellow cardstock, Rubber Stampede Sunflower II & PTI Brushed Blooms stamps, Versafine onyx black & squeezed lemonade distress ink, Wow clear gloss embossing powder, Copic markers, Memory Box scraped paint stencil, Lawn Fawn glitter pen, foam tape

This is lovely, Lindsey! Must mean I've missed green and gold, though. Boo hoo! Jo x
Such a beautiful card, and so kind of you to also make it in support of Ukraine.
Super interpretation of the colours. I found it difficult to find the right pale teal too! When is pale teal turquoise? :)
Yes when is pale teal turquoise? but I love teal I'm looking forward to "trying" to play. Love your sunflower and it's coloured beautifully and the design is fabulous. Kudos for thinking of the Ukraine.
I think pale teal can be easily interpreted, I love your card, Lindsey! The hint of yellow in the stencilling adds interest and detail to the beautiful sunflower!
Beautiful sunflower, Lindsey! I love this card! Have a great week!
Lindsey your sunflower is these colours look fantastic, so beautiful!
Lindsey, I think you nailed the colors completely! This is a gorgeous card! I am glad my color combo kept you on your toes!
