Color Hues #12 Peach and Green

Yesterday, I spent a day with one 8.5 x 11" piece of Neenah card stock, and a few of my new Concord & 9th inks...
  

Imagine my delight when the new Color Hues challenge landed in my inbox:


I managed to complete three stamped, and die-cut cards from that one sheet of paper!  Take a look....




The first two of my cards are simply stamped, die cut, and mounted on another panel onto which I had stamped a few more of these gorgeous Altenew Pen Sketched Silhouette images.  This last one is simply stamped - adding a few dots of Copic black multiliner dots - but after I'd cut the label from the panel, I ran it through my machine with that wonderful Subtle Texture embossing folder from Stampin' Up.

This Altenew set was a Christmas gift from a very dear friend ... thank you so very much, You Know Who!  Since it's my newest set, I'm sharing one with The Flower Challenge, too!


Off to the Color Hues gallery - can you guess which card you'll find there?  
Enjoy your day, and thanks for stopping by!

  6. All 3 are absolutely BEAUTIFUL Michele, but I must admit my eye keeps going back to the first one...probably because it is completely covered with those luscious colors!! Just finished playing with those same colors myself today, but you'll have to wait till next week to see the results! Take care my friend!! Hugs. :0)

  11. These are so gorgeous, Michele. Love those green hues together and that springy and wonderful peach. What a great idea to fill up a page with images and create cards from there. I have to try that. I hope you are faring well in all of the storms. It's been so long since it has snowed this often and much in NJ. We are fine. School is remote often, and that lets me teach in my PJ's and then get to my craft desk! I am home today and tomorrow! I love it.

  17. Amongst the chaos here, I did at least one of these masterpieces on IG last night...had no idea it was a series. And what a series of beauty they are. Simply love the colors and the compositions you created. One sheet of CS, three cards...very economical, too.

  25. Oh my...Gorgeous die cut and stamped flowers and leaves, Michele. I love the colors from the color challenge. So soft and refreshing and a touch of Spring. We are having rain, rain, rain and dark days, but not complaining. I will take rain over snow any day!!! Perfect weather for spending more time crafting and napping:-) We do have power and a nice warm fire in our wood stove too:-) Hope you are doing ok in the freezing Winter Weather.
