Color Hues #32 Red & Purple


I have a dear friend who belonged to the Red Hat Ladies group while living in New York - this card, and the Color Hues challenge #32, was made for her!

Another new set from The Stamp Market: Bell Flower - I really love that sentiment!  That little braided oval from Pinkfresh Studio was made for this duo, don't you think?

My inks are Catherine Pooler:  Rockin' Red & Sangria!
[I don't mind CP messing with mint, or blue - but please don't change Sangria!]

Hope you're having a great week!  Thanks for stopping by!

Masterful CAS design, Michele! My eye is immediately drawn to the gorgeous bell flower, of course, but also to the texture of the oval. Amazing pairing along with a sentiment that makes my heart so happy. In awe, as always!

I am not a wine drinker but if it tasted as fabulous as that Sangria looks on your flower I’d be in trouble! Wow!’

Swear this is a winner. You've obviously left your slump behind because this one is outstanding. Rich, rich color and lovely white broken up by the beautiful oval. You're right, that sentiment is perfect. You are a master at designing your cards.

Love the deep colors and the simplicity of the layout! That oval would get lots of attention at my house! Beautiful card and Happy New Year to you! Thanks for playing along at Color Hues!

Bonnie said...

What a great way to use these colors, Michele! Love those red flowers with the deep purple centers! Doing the sentiment in both colors is a wonderful idea and I love that oval die cut!

I love how the Sangria adds the shadows to the red on your gorgeous flower, Michele. I used to be a Red Hatter too and I still have one of my hats.

JulieP said...

This is beautiful. I love the sangria color as well. Not sure how I feel about them replacing the others. I rather liked them.

Viv said...

Oh yes another stunner here again Michele, I really love all of your creations as you know ;) hugs Viv xx

Those colours look really amazing agains the white. Such a lovely clean card. When it is not covid times I volunteer as a tour guide for a building in London and once did a tour for the red hat ladies, they were good fun and had so many different hats, it was a joy. Hope those days come back again soon xx

The bright bell flowers with the white braided oval in the background are so pretty, Michele! The color matching two-tone sentiment is a wonderful touch! Your friend will love the card.

I'm familiar with that Red Hat Ladies group, too...hey, anyone who can pop on a red hat gets kudos from me :)
