COLOR HUES # 23 ~ YELLOW & PINK

Hi friends, today I am playing along with Color Hues # 23 and couldn't resist using a Pinkfresh stamp and stencil set called Floral Bunch.  Stencils are such an easy way to color!


I had to make a card for a "young" lady turning 80 from my church, so I decided to make it using these awesome colors together.  I kept the leaves a neutral gray and I think it turned out great, it doesn't distract from the pretty yellow and pink flowers.  The sentiment and numbers are from The Greetery.

I also embossed the Delightful Digits (also from The Greetery) background die for a little more interest.  And because I didn't want to cover up the pretty bouquet, I used vellum and embossed with silver EP.

Please go check out all the fabulous inspiration from the design team.  These colors are really fabulous together!



Heart Hugs, friends!

Oh, this came out really pretty Colleen! I am loving the new stencils too since my coloring isn't always very good. I really love the grey leaves and the way you incorporated the 80 on the vellum. Love the ombre look too! exceptional job and she is going to love that you made it personal. Thanks for joining in the fun at Color Hues. Take care!
