Good afternoon, as we are mid way through the month of August, it's time for a new colour combo at Color Hues. Stef has chosen a fab sunny combination for you, here's my take.
Over at The Flower Challenge their theme this month is spots and or stripes, so I went with stripes, creating this floating panel. Sad to hear that Aileen and Viv are stepping down but pleased that Karren J
has stepped in to keep the challenge running. Thanks for all your hard work.
I chose a few scraps of red and yellow card from my stash that gave me a gradient of colour tone and cut some strips from them. Each of the 4 strips for each colour is slightly different but the photo doesn't really show it! They were arranged into a sunrise pattern and attached to some acetate before cutting with a circle die.
From a scrap of white card, I die cut Memory Box's Wildflower corner and glued it over the acetate panel. A simple white heat embossed sentiment on black was added, Uniko and the whole panel added to a white base card on pads.
So how will these new colours inspire you? We'd love to see your takes in our gallery. For more inspiration check out the rest of the team and our GD here.

What a fabulous make using these colours Julie. I love the colour gradient, a brilliant idea. I have everything crossed that you will be getting a dry spell like us so that hay making can commence. We have been let down by our supplier this year. I put our order in back in June when they made it and was told to ring mid August, which I did last week, only to be told that they didn't have enough and to ring at the end of September!! I have managed to source 150 from elsewhere, but it's such a gamble!!
ReplyDeleteNever thought red and yellow could work in so many ways. The white die cut and your stripes are wonderful design elements. Vikki H

ReplyDeleteJulie this is stunning. I love the pop of the colour blocking on the circle with the white line showing through and the white flower overlay. Such a fabulous design!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty die cut circle in the red and yellow - the delicate white die cut is perfect laid over it!
ReplyDeleteYour gradient of colors is so spot on!!! It really showcases that wonderful floral. Great summery card.
ReplyDeleteYour gradient yellow-and-red stripes, fashioned into a circle, is a pretty background for your delicate floral die-cut. Beautiful in every way!
