Hello everyone. I'm so honored to be Guest Designing for The Color Hues Challenge #114 Yellow and Green. I love these colors and I honestly had a hard time with what to choose which is a great problem to have. Color challenges are so much fun. Without further ado here is my card.
So It was actually a fun and tough decision on what to use as yellow and green can be used for a lot. I did decide on this fun New to me embossing folder and cutting die set from Simon Says Stamp called Alstroemeria Bunch. I ran the embossing folder with Cilantro cardstock 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 from Lawn Fawn through my Spellbinders diecutting machine using the appropriate plates. I then did the same with white cardstock. I ink blended the green embossed panel with some Mowed lawn Distress Oxide ink. I used the die and cut out the flower from the white embossed panel. Luckily it was okay doing it that way because usually I cut first and than emboss. Anywho.
I then put my flower back into place on the white panel and ink blended it with Mowed Lawn and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide inks. I cut my green embossed panel down and I found some We R Memory keepers pattern paper in my stash that was yellow and green..Yess. I cut that paper to be 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.
Next, I glued my pattern paper to a A2 Neenah cardstock Solar White 110 pounds and popped up my green embossed panel with foam that has no adhesive and I just apply liquid glue to. I then cut down my flower cutting the stem and popped it up onto my panel with foam tape. I did use Copic markers for some interest on my flower and embossed background with G14 and Y15. My gold foiled sentiment strip comes from a retired Essentials By Ellen foiled plate and coordinating die set. I was happy to have this strip in my stash. I applied it with a foam strip and embellished with some yellow sequins. That finishes this card. I hope you'll join us for this fun challenge.
I had so much FUN creating this card and being a Guest Designer for the Color Hues Challenge. Thank you to Nancy, Steph, and Team. Hugs.
