Color Hues #64

 

I can't believe it's taken me this many hours to post my first card using the
fantastic color choices from Julie B for Color Hues #64!

Here you go, Julie:


From background to foreground:

Altenew Slimline Label die, then my flowers:
Altenew's Stunning Cosmos stamped in two shades of orange from 
Catherine Pooler:  Tiki Torch and Orange Twist.
I brought out another Pinkfresh Studio Noteworthy Frames [cut from MFT Steel Grey] to wrap around that label and for the first word of my sentiment from the Cosmos set... 
happy was heat embossed in white, birthday was stamped in CP Black Jack ink and freehand cut into a little fishtail.

Hope I have enough time to make another - I love any combo that includes grey!
=] Michele

Oh, thanks so much, Julie!!

I've been perusing this challenge for a while, wondering what I can create with it! Yours is bright, bold and beautiful! They remind me of the poppies in my grandmother's garden from many, many years ago! They look amazing with the gray accents!

Your sweet cosmos remind me of a patch of poppies that I walk by almost everyday on miss "P's" and my daily walks. These are sweet as can be Michele!

My, how beautifully those colors play together. Fabulous card!

Leslie Miller said...

I thought of you first thing with the gray. Love how rich your oranges are on those pretty Cosmos! Cute design. I'm partial to your hand cut fishtail with its mid-century modern kind of look. You've always got something up your creative sleeve!

Kristin Sluhan said...

Beautiful pop of those orange poppies with the grey! SO good!

In true Michele form, you've made magic with the color challenge and supplies! I couldn't image a prettier orange and gray combo

Bobby said...

Why do I not have that Cosmos stamp? I love it in your CP oranges, Michele, and all the texture and dimension with the layers are fabulous.

Julie B said...

What a great take on my colours Michele. Love the crisp blooms, they remind me of the Welsh poppies coming up at the moment, and the cool grey sentiment banner. You rocked the latest colours @ Color Hues! :)
