A labor of love for Color Hues!

There's a new challenge in town!  and I am so happy to spend a bit of my Labor Day creating for Color Hues inaugural color challenge:


I also had the perfect image for it... from Alex Syberia Designs … a Happy Sunflower!  first, here's a closeup of my fussy-cut sunflower...

 
 and the yellow and green Copics I used:
 



Congratulations to Nancy, and her entire Color Hues team for all the beautiful cards using yellows, and greens!

Sentiment from The Stamp Market:  All lined Up

Thanks, Color Hues team!!!

    Such a beauty Michele! I love the image and it is wonderfully coloured and fussy cut. But wait, the sentiment remains uncoloured! I admire your self control my friend and it really does look fantastic this way :) Vicky x

    What a gorgeous card, Michele! The sunflower image is lovely and I think the large bloom makes it really stand out. Your coloring details and the sentiment are wonderful. We are so glad to have you inspiring us at Color Hues!

    Gorgeous, as usual, my friend. Your coloring and fussy cutting is impeccable. This is a lovely design, and I like that you left the sentiment uncolored. Hope your holiday is lovely and cool like mine is. And thanks for the reminder; I really would like to play if Mr. Mojo will cooperate...uh-huh... Stay safe, Bev

    Beautifully coloured and fussy cut too! It's the perfect choice for this colour combo (which isn't my fave... but I think that's because it was my school uniform colours for 10 years lol).

    You've beautifully taken the colors to heart. Your sunflower (one of my favorites) is glorious...perfect with this sentiment. The fussy cutting is perfect and adds so much dimension to the final product.
