Nancy is our hostess for Color Hues #130 and I just love her choices...
You all know by now I'm not a big fan of blue - but I LOVE navy!
Combined with pink?
YES, please!
I had my Spellbinders Wonderful Tulips set out and decided to give it a go through
my Betterpress system - since I can't foil! YAY! It worked using black Versafine ink!
Then I chose C&9th's Dragonfruit pink and The Stamp Market's Navy for
the layering stencils... I love how it turned out...
After die-cutting, I ran the 'leftover' through my Betterpress with an un-inked
Spellbinders by Lisa Horton Script Text plate and topped it off with one of
Yana's Bouquet of Hugs Betterpress-ed sentiments and a few 'dewdrops.'
You may notice a little added detail for depth using just two Prismacolor pencils.
Thanks, Nancy!

Gorgeous! Ohhh, I love the color of Dragonfruit, and it looks just as yummy on your tulips. The blue leaves with perfect shading are striking!
ReplyDeleteThis bouquet of hugs is going to be well received, it's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYou are quick! Fabulous card and use of the colour duo.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, Lady! Wow, you worked wonders with the colors and your tulips thank you -- as do we!
ReplyDeleteP.S. that previous comment was from me, sorry my phone seems to be having issues with blogger.com
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteSo gorgeous! Those little details (this time from the colored pencils) always raise your cards to the next level. I love the ink blending behind that wonderful bouquet as well. Thanks for sharing with us at Color Hues!
ReplyDeleteAmazing! Such beautiful dimension!
ReplyDeleteOutstanding! Love the shading behind the pretty flowers
ReplyDeletePerfect image for the colors, Michele.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous way to use those colors, my dear tulip loving friend!!!! Such a beauty, and I so love the sentiment.
ReplyDeleteFuchsia and navy never looked so good together! I especially like the bit of color behind those tulips--perfect finishing touch!
ReplyDeleteI had just pulled this set out the other day and then ended up putting it back...must have known you'd do something much better with it, and you did! Your card is absolutely GORGEOUS Michele! So many lovely details like the black outlining, the inking behind the bouquet and detail with the colored pencils! I'm loving that sentiment too...can you leave that set out for next week please?!! Beautifully done card my friend and thanks so much for sharing it with us at Color Hues!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteThis is a brilliant use of these colors, Michele, and some gorgeous tulips! I also love how you embossed with the script plate! A beautiful card to celebrate spring! Thanks so much for sharing it with us at Color Hues!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great colour combination Michele! A gorgeous elegant card. I love the look of tulips -so structued! I hope you have a sweet Easter! :)
ReplyDeleteWow, your card is gorgeous Michele. Fabulous use of these colors on those pretty tulips and the ink blending behind them. Have a great weekend and Happy Easter.
ReplyDeleteMichele, your tulips are so gorgeous in the challenge colors and beautifully colored! The debossed script background adds such gentle texture. As always, your card is exquisitely made. Thank you so much for joining in at Color Hues!
ReplyDeleteWell, once again you have started the gallery with a showstopper, Michele! I love the flowers, the soft inked background, and the subtle text background as well. Your eye for design is always remarkable. Thanks for joining us at Color Hues.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card using the challenge colours, Michele. LOVE the soft sponging and texture of the background. xx
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done,Michele.
ReplyDeleteYep you are a professional chef because you know just what to do with leftovers!
ReplyDeleteMichele these are absolutely gorgeous! I loved reading your description of how you used your betterpress and stencils to bring the challenge colours in! Thank you so much for sharing with us at the Color Hues!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Love that added bloom of color around the edges... so soft and elegant
ReplyDeleteThis is stunning Michele!!! Your aversion to blue sounds a lot like my aversion to purple. (and I make no secret of it either. LOL!) I love the soft shadow to your florals. Thanks so much for playing with us at Color Hues!
ReplyDeleteLove the tulips with the extra pencil shading! One week ago I walked in 40 acres of tulips just south of Portland and never saw the blue leafed variety. LOL Dragonfruit was one of my color choices too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Love the bouquet of tulips and fabulous take with the colors! Thank you so much for playing along with us over at the Color Hues Challenge!
