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!

How opportune was that? Really lovely colours and 3 amazing cards. Love the little detail of those tiny black dots on your last card, they make all the difference xx

I love them all! But I especially like the sentiment you used on the one posted for Color Hues. Thanks for joining us; I'm always happy to see you in the gallery!

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)

I'm always on the lookout for a pretty peach ink and this just might be it... grapefruit, who knew! A trio of prettiness, Michele!

Bobby said...

A beautiful three-fer. Good for you, Michele.

Barb Ghig said...

3 really gorgeous cards, Michele! I love this color combo and you chose the prettiest blooms and leaves to show it off! I also love how you added texture with your embossing folder on the last card...I see a winner here!!!

Beautiful trio, Michele.

LeAnne said...

You have a way with florals, my friend! They are all gorgeous!

Stephanie Lanzalotto said...

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.

Jeanne said...

Three very lovely cards, Michele. I didn't think I like peach and green, but now I do. Thanks!

Bonnie said...

You have used these beautiful colors well times three, my friend! Each is so unique and special in it's own right! The texture makes such a big difference in the look!

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.

Oh my this is so pretty - all versions! I love how you run it through the embossing folder as a finishing touch....beautifully done!

Barb Ghig said...

I thought I left love for this post, but maybe I'm losing it :) All three of your cards are gorgeous, Michele! I love how you used the flowers and leaves to frame the sentiment on the first one and I love all the white space on the last 2 cards! I'm so impressed with your creativity using one sheet of paper, my friend! xx

nancy littrell said...

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. Love and Hugs....Nancy
