One [or two] more for Color Hues #138


It has been a really good and crafty week and I have one more
'new' supply in the house!  Thanks to my friend Bonnie's expert enabling!
What better time to play with Karen's Color Hues #138 combo again?


I fell in love with all the cards she made with that PTI Geranium set - I honestly
couldn't get it in a basket fast enough!  Along with their Tropical Teal cardstock
that was used to cut their wonderful leaves!


I blended a bit of TSM Jade ink on their edges to add a bit of depth.
The blooms are cut from TSM Sea Glass paper then darkened to a mor
teal-like color using Jade ink.  Navy is the second CH color, so it was a
must for the bottom half of a 'crimped' front panel along with a
few ferns from another ASD Whimsy Blooms Bouquet die set.

Thanks so much, Karen!


And then, as I just couldn't put those colors away just yet, they were used
to color this wonderful ASD Poinsettia, too!




I'm so happy to finally have the coordinating dies to cut all the great
sentiments in the Festive Poinsettia set!

Alright, my friends! That's all from me this week!  Have a great weekend,
and thanks for spending a little time with me this week - all your kindness
does not go unnoticed I promise you!

Two gorgeous cards Michele!! Your geraniums look fabulous in the teal color, and I absolutely love your crimped background! And your Poinsettia in the challenge colors is simply stunning my friend! You sure have rocked our color challenge and made them SHINE with all 3 of your cards!! Hugs. :0)

Karen said...

Marcia's right--two gorgeous cards!!! I, too, love those geraniums and what a beautiful bouquet they made with teal and navy! I'd never think to use those colors on a poinsettia, but once again, you inspire me with your creativity! Thanks for helping to fill up the Color Hues gallery so beautifully!

You certainly rocked out these colors! Gorgeous cards

Oh golly! These are GORGEOUS! When the color combos are delightful, bring on all the beautiful cards (I think I had that response a few challenges ago - lol)!

You were on a crafty roll and I love it! So much inspiration here this week and your second helpings were amazing! Teal geraniums and poinsettias? Yes, please and thank you!

Bonnie said...

I'm glad I could enable you, Michele. Hehee! And what a beautiful geranium you made! I love the teal blooms with the navy leaves and that white bow is the perfect finishing touch (and one you enabled me to get too). And then to top it off, a glorious poinsettia! You are on a roll, my friend! Thanks for bringing more inspiration to us at Color Hues!

Those geraniums make a darling little nosegay, Michele, and you found the perfect colors of cardstock to make them. Who would have thought those same colors would be so beautiful on a poinsettia but it looks stunning.

Jeanne said...

Gorgeous colors and therefore, gorgeous cards, Michele! Woweee!

Cat Craig said...

Both cards are WOWS in capitals! Gorgeous use of the colors.

Julia Aston said...

Wow, Michele - what beautiful cards - I love the colors! Your geranium card is so pretty with the layered blooms and inked edges layered over that crimped background - and the giant poinsettia is made me gasp with the beautiful stenciling in the shades of color and lovely embossed holly brance background!

LeAnne said...

Wow, the geranium card was a stunner, but my jaw dropped when I saw the poinsettia! You know how to blend some colors, my friend!

HilaryJane said...

Wow, these are stunning. Those colours are fabulous xx

JoAnn said...

WOW!! Two gorgeous cards in these colors Michele. I love the teal geraniums (yes, Bonnie is a great inspiration and enabler. :)) Your ASD poinsettia is stunning in these colors with that lovely blending and great background.

Helen said...

A beautiful colour combination Michele and your wonderful cards showcase them perfectly! I love them both but the geraniums are my favourite! Enjoy your week! :)

Leslie Miller said...

Wowie, two gorgeous cards in these fabulous colors! Bonnie is quite the enabler, but you know when you just NEED something, and these amazing geraniums are a must have! Cute with the bow and the crimping and the extra foliage. And, hold on, that poinsettia is magnificent in teal and navy! I'm experiencing jaw drop over here!

Birgit said...

How have I missed all the amazing cards you've made in the last few posts?? The way you've used the challenge colors is out of this world! The geraniums in teal are delightful. All your cards are stunning, Michele.

Lisa Elton said...

I would be hard pressed to pick a favorite between your pretty aqua geraniums and that awesome poinsettia! Wowza, these are fabulous!!

Nancy said...

No words, Michele! Talk about a post of pure inspiration. Love your Geranium card and the texture of the background. Then I scrolled and gasped in pure delight when I saw your Poinsettia. Tell me, why did you not link this gorgeous card up as well? You tots should have as my son would say! Thanks for all you do to showcase our Color Hues challenge. Hugs!
