For some reason, I don't enter many of the challenges that I always joined for so many years. But today I came across Color Hues Challenge and Bonnie had suggested yellow and green. Yellow is not one one of my "go to" colors (I very rarely wear yellow either). So I created a card this afternoon in yellow and green!!
I began with SSS Vine Canopy embossing folder. Then used an old stitched rectangle die with foam tape to lift it up at bit. The flowers and leaves are from Altenew's Houseplants set and the sentiment is no longer available. I used fossilized amber distress oxide to give the flowers a little depth and added yellow enamel dots from Hero Arts. I used Altenew's Reindeer Moss cardstock for the leaves - it's my favorite "go to" green!
Thanks for stopping by.
So glad you decided to join us with this wonderful card! The yellow flowers are gorgeous, and I just love your design with the open frame over the embossing folder. Thanks for sharing with us at Color Hues!
ReplyDeleteSo, so beautiful, Betty - love the trailing vines with the flowers and frame!!
ReplyDeleteLovely use of the colors, Betty.
ReplyDeleteI love that you offset the frame, Betty! You rocked the yellow and green with the flowers and that's my favorite embossing in the background! Thanks so much for sharing this with us at Color Hues! Now I'm off to check out that pretty green cardstock.
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning design Betty. And what beautiful colours on your flowers. You've done well.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty layout and card, Betty! I love the shape of those vines as they look so realistic. This is a gorgeous card that someone will adore. Thanks for playing at Color Hues.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Betty. Love the pretty yellow blooms and lovely embossed background. I love how you lifted the frame for dimension and added the flowers in opposite corners. Great layout.
ReplyDeleteBetty, it's so great to see your card in the gallery! I love your card design with the die cut flowers on opposing corners of the off-center frame and the beautifully embossed background. Thank you so much for joining in at Color Hues and please come back soon!
ReplyDeleteYou are certainly making good use of the houseplants dies! I'm not a yellow person, but this is just so beautiful! Love everything about this card!
